From the Miami Herald: "Believe it or not, I work on it quite often," said Allen, who finished Miami's 103-100 Game 6 Houdini act victory against San Antonio with 9 points, including two critical free throws in overtime. "I try to put my body in precarious situations coming from different parts of the floor, different angles to try to get my momentum going forward.” "When … [Read more...]

“I’d have a better chance of finding a boyfriend in church than a bar, but we both know that’s not happening.” “Well, then, good luck!” As I stood in line at the grocery story tonight I caught the tail end of a conversation between the checker and the young man bagging my groceries. I finished setting the last 2-liter of Diet Coke on the counter and pushed my card through the … [Read more...]

Although it’s hard to take a list like this seriously which includes Britney Spears in the top 10, the tunes bring back a lot of memories, especially the four years I was in college at the University of Utah. I still collected CDs and … [Read more...]
Since Moving to Utah
May 18, 2013 by 1 Comment
A few things that have been on my mind the past month since moving from Washington to Utah. One of the best side benefits of moving is not being able to bring everything that’s accumulated in your home over the years.
