Maly and Elise in Des Moines for Beggars’ Night.
47 other states don’t really know what Beggars’ Night is, many Iowans included, so I’ve been told.
It’s Halloween to me and it’s all I’ve ever known - a Pagan holiday where we celebrate the dead. I’ll be embracing my secular spirituality and remembering [...]

I want my $20
Posted by Josh in October 30th 2008
As I crossed San Jacinto St. this morning a stranger approached me.
“Excuse me, sir!”
I avoided eye contact and kept walking. He called for me again. I stopped, turned and he began to speak. He told me that he was a staff sergeant in the Air Force, stationed in San Antonio. He [...]

Garage sale post mortem
Posted by Josh in October 4th 2008
The garage sale came and wet. Elise and I both work up at 6 a.m. this morning and got to work. We managed to sell 75% of our junk for a cool $300 and the other 4 neighbors did really well as well.
I’ve already managed to spend our “profit” by buying an Ooma, [...]
A perfect way to watch Texas football

78 degrees outside with a gentle breeze out on the deck and a cute little two-year-old saying, “Yay! Texas football!!”
I’m surprised eBay is still around
Posted by Josh in October 3rd 2008
I used to be an avid eBayer — more of a seller than a buyer. It was a few years ago when selling on eBay just became a pain in the ass. In the good ol’ days, I would simply select the category in which to list my item, set a price, drop [...]
