gracing cyberspace since 1998
An elementary school and high school classmate of mine, Kyle Seipel, died on Monday, June 21st. I found out a couple of days later while scrolling through Facebook. Here was someone I’d known since at least the fourth grade (maybe third?) and he was gone from the world. Most of my memories of Kyle are…
It was such a lovely week, weather-wise. We had a couple of days where it was actually cool enough to not run the a/c after work. Amazing! Of course, now it’s warming up again. The forecast says that we’ll have triple digits by the end of the week. Yikes! Our Saturday started with corn hole.…
