As expected, late last year I received an invitation in the mail for the “45th Annual Awards Banquet” for Locations LLC. What I hadn’t expected was the theme – Chinese Elegance. As you can probably guess, this theme was, quite literally, foreign to me. What in the world is Chinese Elegance attire? Last year’s theme … Continue reading
Aloha Peeps, It’s official. It’s finally happening. After twelve years of military service (eight post-graduate), Daniel will be a civilian! Welcome back to the dark side, honey.

Karma is a you know what. Yesterday I commented on some Facebooker’s obsession with making others feel totally frantic and unprepared for Thanksgiving. I even made some snarky sarcastic mention that commissary was going to be out of butter. As if that would ever happen [insert eye roll]. The rampant threats of bare shelves were not getting under my skin, but rather I wanted to spend the better part … Continue reading
