Did anyone besides me see the Miss America pageant? It was sad. I watched as an entire institution crumbled from years of decay before my eyes.

My cat just climbed up on my laptop and planted herself on the keys for a warm nap. When I pulled her off, the screen read “Are you sure you want to delete ‘My Documents?’”

This was the hot topic in the special investigations unit today. Long known to fraud investigators, the Travelers break into mainstream news with this sordid story of child abuse.

While I feel fortunate to be very well-employed during these times of so much woe and uncertainty, I am far from enjoying work satisfaction.
Two years ago, I felt like I was on a trajectory—salary steadily and rapidly increasing; skill sets, responsibilities and overall enjoyment ever-climbing. The hours were long and hard, but the rewards [...]

Despite warnings, apathy and lethargy, Paul made the call and we hit the open sea. The catch: snapper, trigger, rock salmon and grouper. I grilled a small piece of trigger last night and I can only say—WOW!
Sunburned, sore and fuzzy, we are back in Atlanta and recovering slowly. Epic, epic weekend.
