Resolution Broken

Posted on January 2, 2010 by Jason

I made one resolution this new year. And it took me all of one day to break it. I’ve made some weird resolutions over the years. In 2007, I resolved to go without fried foods, desserts, and Mountain Dew. But … Continue reading →

Yesterday my five-year old daughter said to me, “Daddy, I can’t wait for my wedding day!” I asked her, “Why is that?” “Because on your wedding day, you get a pretty, pretty ring.” I said, “I’ll bet you’ll also be … Continue reading →
