In early February I decided that my old coffee table needed some refurbishment. After years of setting drinks on it without using coasters, the top was showing signs of warping, bubbling, and general wear and tear. My plan was to sand the top down to bare wood, level out the imperfections, and then stain and seal it...

Can you enjoy Disney World as an adult?
My girlfriend and I recently got back from a spring break trip to Disney World. She's from the west coast and had been to Disneyland many times, but I wondered if she would have any interest in seeing the colossus that is Disney World.

She was 100% on board, so the half joking idea became a dead serious plan.
Oh the places you'll go...to sleep!
Naya is Spanish for narcolepsy
In August of 2015, my girlfriend and I decided we wanted to adopt a rescue dog. We went to the Franklin County Dog Shelter, where we met and fell in love with a real sweetheart of a dog. We brought her home, and named her Naya. In pretty much every respect, Naya's an amazing dog. She is gentle, quiet, good around strangers, obedient (most of the time), clean, and a first-class cuddler, much to my girlfriend's delight...

My friend Jun Yamaguchi is a talented artist. Around Thanksgiving of 2013, he was hanging out with my family, working on a watercolor. I was bored, and cajoled him into giving me a quick lesson. Of course the painting I made sucked, no surprise there. But what did surprise me was the fact that I enjoyed it...
