Yesterday’s meal.

More about yesterday.
After leaving the Coffee Perk yesterday (and now I’m back for more internet!) I walked around downtown Walla Walla for a while. There were wine tasting rooms everywhere I looked, literally.

A Poem
So I haven’t blogged in like a year; don’t judge. Yesterday was our first ever SAAHE Program Pinning Ceremony at Ball State. It was very cool. I was asked to give some words on behalf of the faculty. Decided not to wing it and wrote something to read verbatim: a poem. Here is it. So…

Blogxperimenting
I’ve decided that blogs are powerful, so here I am experimenting with (a new) one. Not sure what will follow, but I plan to use this space for learning mostly. Maybe a little writing.
