Ryan on the baggage of failure

Life is driven by entropy, and is always tending towards a state of disorder, but you can put energy into your life and fight that trend. We’ve all failed and had setbacks. Don’t let that baggage drag you down into a vortex of failure. Just pick yourself up, take a deep breath, and try again. [...]

Finger Mustache Non-Tattoo

So, it started here with the news report. A couple ‘Wow that is awesome’s later and my first and feeble attempt is complete. Yes, that is me… hard to tell from my disguise, but be not afraid.

Amber’s Blog

So, I finally set Amber up with a fresh install of WordPress on amber.rasmusenfamily.com.  We worked out a theme and she’s posted her first post.  She talks about the quickly approaching birth of our son, great read.  Go check it out!  Sorry, you can’t be the first to comment, because I already snagged that spot, [...]

Official Flag of Colorado Springs

During a heated debate between Amber and me regarding the altitude of Colorado Springs, which came up during a heated debate about the alleged upcoming blizzard and statements about there being up to a foot of snow in areas above 6,000 ft., I stumbled accross the Wikipedia article on it. Turns out we are [...]

Strange Van

I saw this rather strange van parked accross the street yesterday and it was there this morning, but there was someone in there and when I drove away at 5:30am it drove away with me.  I don’t think it followed me.  But the whole thing was rather strange.  I find myself thinking back and wondering [...]

Simple Things in Life

The simple things in life. Coffee in a paper cup and a muffin in a box. This is a pumpkin muffin from Perkins (which turned out to be awesome). Since last night brought the second snow before Halloween this little snack seemed very fitting.
Today we went to the doctor again and heard [...]
