Looking To The Weekend

Posted by Moose  Published in Club, Friends, Movies, Relationships, Running, Swimming

Went to see Enchanted with BC on Monday. I most decidedly did not cry at the end; I had something in my eye. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, so there.
Dinner tonight with RNJTM to talk Ironman and life in general. Should be fun, as always.
Seeing BC Friday & Saturday [...]

A Big Deal

This is same guy who, when asked for a one-page [...]

Wandering at Lunch

Confidence, Site

Posted by Moose  Published in Law, Site, Work

There are days when you have all of the answers, and days when you don’t. Today, thankfully, was the former and not the latter. Tomorrow is anyone’s guess.
