  • On Being Alone

    I spend a lot of time alone. Even when I’m with people, I’m often alone. I’m sitting alone now.  There’s people in the other room, but I’m by myself.  It isn’t until the night hits that the loneliness sets in.  I’m virtually always either at work or by myself.  I miss having friends, someone to…

    Getting Ready

    Tonight is going to be fun.  One of my bestest friends from college is coming to visit.  I just saw Nichole a few weeks ago at the Polar Plunge, but I’m already excited to see her again.   I’ve gotten myself ready and Snapchatted it to prove that it happened (because if you don’t share something…

    Playing with the Nifty-Fifty

    I love Staunton.  No matter what time of year, it always yields beautiful pictures.  I had a coworker cooperate with me during my lunch break so I could test the 50mm lens.  Snapped these photos downtown and on campus as well.  It was one of those days where it was beautiful.  I was quite happy…

    Camp Kekoka Polar Plunge

    I went to watch my friend Nichole (whose camp name is Roe) jump into the water for Camp Kekoka’s Polar Plunge last weekend.  I grabbed some pretty awesome shots. All in all, it was a great day and I was super happy to be out and about.  Donors (like me!) raised over $20,000 to help…

  • Thoughts on the Gym

    I needed somewhere to collect my thoughts on the gym.  I’ve been doing Beach Body (not religiously as you know), I have been traveling for work, and I just haven’t been in the gym. They’ve changed names and moved recently.  I have been to the new location twice.  The first time, I was anxious because…

  • -2

    When I woke up this morning, my Apple Watch told me that it was -2 degrees (Fahrenheit) this morning. It’s cold.  I made it back home from Staunton for my dentist appointment Monday.  Until then, I’m just hanging out.  There wasn’t nearly as much snow in the fields and on the main roads as I…
