The Weight of Our Words: An Introduction to D.C.
http://weightofourwords.blogspot.com/2008/10/introduction-to-dc.html
The Weight of Our Words. Saturday, October 4, 2008. An Introduction to D.C. We have arrived in our nation's capital. The compromise built on a swamp. The district, not state, that has one representative who cannot vote and no senators. Residents weren't allowed to vote for the president until 1961. "Taxation Without Representation" decries D.C. license plates. It's beautiful to peek out at the city through the Grecian-style columns of what seems like ancient buildings. The capitol. The supreme co...The c...

The Weight of Our Words: Maryland
http://weightofourwords.blogspot.com/2008/11/in-my-quest-to-lean-more-about-state-i.html
The Weight of Our Words. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. In my quest to lean more about the state, I figured I would write an entry on information I have gathered about Maryland. This search worked out perfectly for me because I really love state trivia. One of my favorite books is State by State: A Panoramic Portrait of America. So without further ado, I present you Maryland: . Annapolis (where the Naval Academy is) . Free State or Old Line State . Lowest point, sea level (0 ft) at the Atlantic Ocean. ...

The Weight of Our Words: April 2008
http://weightofourwords.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
The Weight of Our Words. Wednesday, April 9, 2008. I'm totally one of those people that loves to know what items people have in their possession. In other words, I love to know what stuff people own. If you had me house-sit for you, I would totally look through all your CDs, movies, books, etc. Why do I love to know what people have in their collections? Dead Like Me, Season 2. This was a Showtime. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris. It's a story about his grandparents:. She [Ya Ya,...

The Weight of Our Words: Our Endless Numbered Days
http://weightofourwords.blogspot.com/2008/06/our-endless-numbered-days.html
The Weight of Our Words. Sunday, June 29, 2008. Our Endless Numbered Days. The end is in sight (and not in the apocalyptical sense). We have one more month here. I am happy that the end is approaching because that means I will be done with my thesis/grad school. I am not happy about the end approaching because that means I have to defend my thesis and then move. I've been playing guitar and Eagan has been an attentive audience. It's been nice. This rocks the scoliosis right off my spine! I haven't gone s...

The Weight of Our Words: September 2007
http://weightofourwords.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
The Weight of Our Words. Wednesday, September 26, 2007. So here it is. I'm also really enjoying living in Canada. It gives me a new perspective on education, politics, social issues, etc. Plus, it's fun picking up on the little differences between Canada and the U.S. For example, all products here have both English and French on the label. Oh yeah and Thanksgiving is in two weeks. Thanksgiving before Halloween just blows my mind! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Weight of Our Words: Silver Spring
http://weightofourwords.blogspot.com/2008/11/silver-spring.html
The Weight of Our Words. Saturday, November 8, 2008. There's a perfect balance where we live. South of our apartment is the urban, downtown area with all the shops and restaurants. North of our apartment is a residential area with lots of homes, parks, and open space. The view to the west. The residential area northeast of our apartment. Walking around the neighborhood reminded me of North Haven. Sligo Creek Park. Two blocks north of our apartment. Wow- it's really beautiful there in the autumn! That wou...

The Weight of Our Words: November 2007
http://weightofourwords.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
The Weight of Our Words. Friday, November 9, 2007. To give you a better idea of where we are going to school, I thought it would be a good idea to post some pictures from around the campus. One time I almost fell off the bridge into the water because I wasn't paying attention when I was walking. That bridge can be dangerous. But it's pretty. I love watching the fish from the bridge. It doesn't happen often, but this is what it looks like when it snows. These pictures are of the forest surrounding campus&...
