so… meat, not as good as I remember
The study started today and, rather than ease into things, I was given a few slices of cow right out of the gate: I admit I was a little anxious about eating it – it’s been 7 years! Anyway, I bit into it and found that meat isn’t really that good. I can think of…

bring on the meat!
Debi forwarded me an email about a study they are conducting at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital looking at bile acid and genetics about six months ago. In the initial email they seemed to indicate they were looking for vegetarians as participants, but I must have misread the email. Anyway, the study involves some intriguing procedures (taking…

what if…?
I saw this on a bumper sticker in Utah: What if the hokey pokey is what it’s all about? I’ll be posting a rundown of our recent trip to Utah some time in the next couple of days.

Shadowbox Cabaret
We went to the Shadowbox Cabaret this past Wednesday with a few of Debi’s co-workers. It’s the second time we’ve been and, as was the case with the first time, it was an enjoyable experience. They have decent food and, while the band is a bit loud, the sketches they performed were mostly funny (a…

What would a trip out of town be…
… without a little social commentary? As my previous post mentioned, I spent last week in Columbus filming the butter sculpture for the American Dairy Association. While on the fairgrounds I was privy to some of the things taking place there. There were horse shows going on the entire week. Having less than no interest…

Brent and Suzy’s Baby
We found out last Friday that Brent and Suzy, Debi’s sister and brother-in-law, are having a baby boy. His name is going to be Ethan Brent Robbins. They had the ultrasound on Friday and found out the sex. I guess they already had the name picked out. One of Debi’s brothers told her the name…

something other than a book review 😉
Debi’s brother-in-law, Brent, is a pilot for SkyWest Airlines. He called me up Monday to tell me about an incident he had on one of his flights. He had just finished his pre-flight check on a flight to Butte, Montana and was waiting for the passengers to board when he noticed an elderly man being…

greetings from North Carolina
Our friends in Winston-Salem, NC recently had a baby (about 6 weeks ago). Debi desperately wanted to see the baby and it had been a while since we had gotten together to visit, so we decided to head down for a quick weekend getaway. We left Friday afternoon and are heading back Sunday afternoon. We’re…
