A Mountain is a Mouth: Analysis

This post is part of the Garneau District Album Club, in which we listen to and comment on a new album a month, much like a book club.  I invite our members to post their thoughts in the comment section of this post.  For more information about the Album Club, click here.
I have only been in a [...]

Game IV: Law Christian Fellowship

Today’s game was the Holy Wars: Christians against Mormons (who are of course Christians themselves, but lets just stick with our analogy).  After todays game, I think I might have to reconsider my faith, since it seemed like the Lord was smiling on the other denomination today.  Or maybe he just wanted us to be an example [...]

Distinguished Advocacy

As important as softball is, this post is about a competition with a little more relevance in the real world: Trial Advocacy.  In this class, my partner and I put on a full trial, complete with opening statements, witnesses (classmate volunteers), cross-examinations, and final arguments in front of a live jury (again, volunteers).  It was hectic and [...]

Game III: Kicking Asses

RELLS Bells has a win!  But before you all get too excited, let me explain the situation. Unfortunately, the title of this post is not an explanation of how well we played, but simply the name of our opponents: The Virginia Law Democrats.  As it turns out, the democrats are much more successful at organizing an [...]

Game II: Nerd Herd

It was a beautiful day for Softball today.  The field had just been watered and the foul-lines were freshly painted.  At 11:45 the teams began to arrive.  Derek Casper, a supposedly faithful RELLSer showed his true colors by heading to the opponent’s bench – although his wife quickly made her way to ours.  Our nursey-aged [...]

Album Club is Now Streaming for Free

I hope that many of you are considering participating in  our growing album club.  One reason why you may not, though, is that you may not have or wish to spend the money to buy an album a month.  Well, I have now taken this excuse away from you.  Theresa came up with a great [...]

RELLS’ Belles

My corporations professor probably spends more class time talking about various random tangents than actually teaching us corporations. One of his favorite subjects is baseball, and he has told us more than once that he thinks the Chicago Cubs has the best strategy in the Major Leagues. You see, normally a team makes [...]

Staying Inside

The other day Theresa and I watched an interesting television program: Rick Steve’s Iran.  My theory for the inception of this show is that PBS wanted to send a film crew to Iran, and were able to convince the Iranian government to allow the project only by sending the most benign person they had on [...]

Day III: Zona Hotelera

Its time for another addition to my continuing series detailing Daniel Harker’s, Peter’s and my adventure in Mexico.  Check out Part I here and Part II here.

In the morning we woke up.  At least I am fairly certain it was morning when we woke, since we had no way of actually knowing.  You see, Daniel [...]

Biometrics

In my many tellings of Theresa’s immigration adventures, I usually left out a few details becuase they only complicated the story.  One of those details was that the green card she recieved was temporary.  Since we had only been married a very short time before we applied for the Visa, the one she was awarded [...]
