So, the whole sixth lumbar vertebra has kind of been of interest to me. I did some online searching and found an interesting article which explains the abnormality some: [A]pproximately 10% of adults, have a congenital anomaly in their lower back. One of the most common anomalies is the presence of a sixth lumbar vertebra. Having… Continue reading Rare But Not Of Concern

Collection of thoughts and issues, as I work them out. These rarely have any chronological value, but just get fit in with the rest of things.
PA Is For Pennsylvania and Pain
In this post, Jason and Angela spend Mother’s day in Pennsylvania with friends and Jason confirms yet again that he can snooze in adverse conditions. We spent more time hanging out and not so much time taking photos this weekend. However, I did like this clock I noticed in a small town on the drive… Continue reading PA Is For Pennsylvania and Pain
Five Fun Things: Week of May 10th
Here’s a list of Five Fun Things I’ve been enjoying lately, in no significant order (other than No. 1): Feeling our baby girl kick for the first time last Sunday morning. That was awesome. Super Paper Mario on the Wii – Not a very hard game, but loads of fun to play and very funny, too. Lost… Continue reading Five Fun Things: Week of May 10th
London Fog
You know that cliché old adage about someone bringing the weather from where their from when they come for a visit? Well, the Queen of England, along with her husband Prince Philip, are in Richmond today to celebrate the 400th Anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, VA. Yesterday in Richmond was about 90° F and… Continue reading London Fog
Social Networking Burn Out
This is going to be one of those fairly long articles, so if you want the short ‘n skinny, here it is: the internet kind of sucks these days, and yet I continue to use it. I’m doing my best to get what I want out of it with as much as time as I… Continue reading Social Networking Burn Out
On The Events At Virginia Tech
As some of you may know, I lived in Blacksburg for about 20 months while working towards a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering at Virginia Tech. This was over six years ago so I’m by no means particularly close to the university anymore. However, I’ve discussed a little bit about my experiences there as well… Continue reading On The Events At Virginia Tech
Good, Because Children Like Butterflies
One evening last week, I got a chance to meet up with a couple of friends of mine who I used to work with back at URS Corp. (mega-engineering company roughly 1,000 times the size of where I work now). One is a soon-to-be Dad, like me, only a couple of months ahead. The other… Continue reading Good, Because Children Like Butterflies
A Nice Spring Weekend
Angela and I had a relaxing few days (mostly) at home over the past weekend. We spent most of the weekend at home, although Friday night we went to pick up our race numbers for the following morning’s 10k as well as hit the grocery store for the first time in weeks. We cleaned up… Continue reading A Nice Spring Weekend
I Am In Need Of A Nap
I’ll spare you all the “sorry I’ve not blogged in a while…” stuff and skip straight to the explanation of why I’ve been occupied with other things. As some of you have seen on Flickr, we’ve been in the process of working on our kitchen. It’s something that we (and by that, I mean 90%… Continue reading I Am In Need Of A Nap
They Just Keep Coming (to Virginia)
Last weekend was a fun-filled one, with a ski trip to Wintergreen with Grace Covenant Presbyterian as well as a visit to Richmond by our good friend, Kevin O’Mara. The ski trip was a blast, even though a few of the kids backed out at last minute. The people that went, both teenagers and adults,… Continue reading They Just Keep Coming (to Virginia)
