This post will actually catch me up on my fishing adventures, which means I have to figure out content to keep this thing active. I don't have much time to fish other than on the weekends, and that isn't even as regular as I'd like. But I will try to keep things going with other …
Working at a university has its benefits. One of the biggest is being able to take classes, which is something I avail myself of each semester. This semester, I have a class that runs from 4-5:15. My wife teaches until 6:45 on those same days, so I have an hour-and-a-half to kill between the end …

My father-in-law moved into our house, recently. This was planned from the start, the house was purchased with him and with the intention of us all living under one roof. I get along with him just fine, but after spending two days with him, an escape was well needed. So after dropping my wife off …
When it comes to the Friendly City waterways, everyone thinks primarily of Blacks Run. No doubt that this is the most iconic within the city. It makes its way from north to south, meeting Cooks Creek to flow into the North River, which meets the South River to form the South Fork of the Shenandoah, …
Every year, JMU holds an Employee Appreciation Day the week after graduation. There are all sorts of things around campus for employees to do.
