I was cruising around StumbleUpon this evening and came across a video of a lecture that Douglas Adams gave at the University of California – Santa Barbara several years ago. It was a long video, so I got up in the middle to have a snack, and as I was walking back to my desk,…

Starbucks, originally uploaded by tdouthat. Good evening from the 23rd Street Starbucks. Michelle and I are sitting here while she drinks her $5 caramal macchiatto. In college, I used to hang out at a coffee house in Columbia on occasion and listen to the open-mic nights. I must be getting old because I can’t remember…

Importance of Being Earnest, originally uploaded by tdouthat. I’m sitting in the small gym at Truman High School watching Jill’s basketball practice. This is her first practice with her new team, the Blazers. It’s a big program in Independence with about 22 teams in different age divisions. Most of the teams play in AAU tournaments…
