the rest is just whatever: October 2010
http://toffeeorange.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
The rest is just whatever. Deep in the heart of fall. Did some research and found out that I get paid less than the maximum amount people on unemployment benefits in California can get. That's okay, because the cost of living here is low, and life is rich, bubbling to the brim and overflowing! Anyway, my job next year is going to pay me 5-6 times more than now. The Hartman Conference and Retreat Center. Laura, Adam and Josey during breakfast. PSCG folk having lunch. Becca checking out a bird box. In othe...

the rest is just whatever: May 2011

The rest is just whatever. I anticipate baking at least a hundred cupcakes this weekend for the 2 cookouts, baptisms and my upcoming defense! For my practice defense yesterday I made 3 types of cupcakes - applesauce, nutella and peanut butter, and strawberry. I initially thought this would be a wedding in the middle of the boonies, but Isaac, the Hollemans and myself somehow had a gazillion adventures in 3 days. This included. Laughing about the world not ending on Saturday. Having the cook at the Virgin...

the rest is just whatever: spring things
http://toffeeorange.blogspot.com/2011/05/spring-things.html
The rest is just whatever. We are in spring, or perhaps summer. The weather has been spectacular and a great respite from the rain of the last few weeks. A lot has been going on, as befitting of summer - softball practice, biking, baking, hiking, attempts at tennis, going to parties/dinners/gatherings - so there's a lot to be thankful for. Even though some of those dinners were farewell dinners. Ark, Dimitri, me, Annie, Esther, Jodie, May and Jim. Jin, Nilla, Hyeri, Kristen, Mike, Myro, Me and PDan.

The rest is just whatever. Ps People who say the countryside is boring are completely out of their minds and are the same people who run into quarter-life and mid-life crisis because they are inherent boring people unable to seize opportunities. Also, people need to realize that sometimes, you don't just wait for opportunities - you create them. Briefly, I'm going to show y'all how a sawmill on the K-Farm works. You can see the flat top of the wood now. This trunk is going to be turned into. I'm on a pec...

The rest is just whatever. Nate and Nora at Dartmouth College, on the way to lunch. The undergrads at Dartmouth are way more conservative than our Penn State kids. It was a pretty warm day but all the kids on the lawn were wearing t-shirts and shorts. Back at Penn State the kids have been taking everything off (guys shirtless and girls in bikinis). Down on Cape Cod. We showed up in Boston just in time to help Tabby pack. The USPO in Beacon Hill. No roadtrip is without misadventure. From your own site.

The rest is just whatever. The last blog post. I've decided to start a new blog to mark the post-defense, pre-employment interim period right here. Kat at David K's Vista. Whipple Dam State Park. The latest Gnome in the forest. The good times roll. Memorial Day Weekend, and this past week, was highly enjoyable and memorable on at least two fronts. We will do this in chronological order. At the vernal pond. or should I say swamp. More importantly, Joachim and I got baptized on Monday at Colyer Lake. Kat W...

The rest is just whatever. Alrighty. since my advisor has neglected to read my drafts, which have been in his hands since the beginning of summer, I'm going on strike and am going to go off to a small farm with a cute name (Over-the-Moon Farm) on Thursday. I will be helping to take the chickens to the butcher and cleaning out the chicken pens. It should be an interesting life experience. And hard filthy work! I would like to live on a farm for a while. The Grange Fair was neat. You won't believe this....

The rest is just whatever. It's amazing how things can change in half a decade. Just 6 years ago I was spending Thanskgiving in Monterrey with the Villarreal family and it was clean, safe and a fun city to hang out in. Now. Last night, on the way back to Oneonta,NY from Stockbridge,MA after Thanksgiving dinner, crammed in the backseat of the Toombs' small car with Becca, Keith and a mountain of pillows, I thought I must be the most privileged person in the world. Not one of the most. The most. The 3rd Th...
