Back when WE were in college . . .

Kids today . . . they think college is just one party followed by a get together after a sorority function. Well I just came across this portal in time, and I remember how it used to be.

Yes, me and my Valedictorian-full-academic-scholarship study partner were getting in a little extra credit work before our […]

. . . 4 more years! . . . 4 more years! . . .

Yes friends, it’s been 4 years since we started this blog. It seems like only 2005. It wasn’t my first foray into narcissistic publishing, but it has been the most long lived. The inaugural post showed a slightly chilly family standing on the top of Pikes Peak in July of 05. As I sit […]
