Staff ‘Stach off…

Monday, September 29th, 2008

About a month before the school year started, I was informed by a text message that I had been drafted into the Staff Mustache Race. As Knutson said, “there are no winners in a mustache contest”; here they were on the last day of ’stashness: Read more »

Updated Update

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

I just spoke with my dad, he’s doing much better. Slightly sore, but he’s feeling well enough to get up and move around. I think he’s just happy to be out of the hospital. Surgery just doesn’t look like fun. Read more »
