A Nice Winter Walk

December 25, 2012 By

We just went for what was supposed to be a brisk (quick) Winter walk. We usually walk for an almost exact mile, turn around and then walk back to the house. It’s a hilly walk and that’s kind of what’s so nice about it. In the Winter, the hills keep you warm by forcing your [...]

On my way back from Jiu Jitsu practice today, I witnessed a squirrel fall from a tree. A very tall tree. It fell right in front of my car and I had to swerve out of the way. Luckily, the squirrel was still alive and there were no other cars around. The road is very [...]

A Good Measure of Virtue

December 23, 2012 By

A few weeks ago, I was doing a little research on the meaning of “Virtue.” This isn’t a word I use all too often (or ever), but have been noticing its use more and more around the internet. It’s fairly common for me to investigate something’s meaning if I feel it’s important to today’s world. [...]
