Heard it on the radio

There are three songs that play every day, without fail, on the radio station my office mates and I listen to. One of them is predictable, so I'm going to give you a second to guess it...

The dad he didn't have to be

I always said Brock would be the first of my siblings to have a kid. For some reason I had always pictured fatherhood being plied upon him on the tails of an adolescent mistake. Maybe it just seemed like the fitting natural evolution of a mischievous middle child who had earned the nickname "Dennis the Menace" by doing things like dumping an industrialized size ice cream container full of brown sugar over his head, building a perfect little teepee fire on my parents' bedroom floor and...

Just one Mormon's perspective on marriage equality

Boy (noun): a noise with dirt on it. I love Sundays for a lot of reasons. One of them is that I routinely resolve to do no homework, in favor of spending time with people. The more the merrier, I say! This afternoon I hosted a crepe party in three waves. While the company was good all around, one of my favorite parts was simply this...

Like the little sibling that grew up in the shadow of an overachieving older brother, Canada has long been overlooked for its accomplishments and innovations as a nation. Every milestone reached is dulled in importance because America got there first. Every achievement is dwarfed by America's voluminous triumphs. Unassuming, with a self-depreciating sense of humor, Canada seems like an awkward, albeit likable, oversized teenager compared to big brother's All-American charm...

In many ways, I am extremely lucky. Born into a family of relatively early-starters (marriage and babies-wise), I have been able to enjoy all four of my grandparents my whole life. In fact, I have memories with almost all my great-grandparents. The unconditional love and color they have each added to my life is a unique blessing for which I am very grateful. The support and encouragement they have contributed has been a determining factor in how I've turned out. I am saddened to say that I have largely taken them, and the time I've had with them, for granted...

So there's this guy in one of my classes. We randomly sat beside each other on the first day and we've been talking for months now. Recently, in typical fashion he asked me if I had any hot date plans for the weekend and instead of replying with my usual sarcasm, I kind of complained about the fact that I don't tend to get asked out very often... at all...
