runway clear. beach clear?
Snow has me dreaming of warmth and summer… I always thought flying into Cleveland had to be exciting for the pilot because they fly right to lake erie above the downtown skyscrappers and turn to line themselves up with the runway. But I found something terrifically more exciting… According to my eye-ball calculations the planes landing in St. Maarten are no more than 50 feet off the...

global warming
honestly what are we all so concerned about? i can tell you first hand that the world is not getting warmer and even if it was … hasnt anyone who’s spent a winter in a northern climated prayed for that at one point?
i realize i’m ignoring the science of things for a moment… ah, enough about that.
the point of this is, i’m not really mad at you cold weather. i was...

Hope. There’s been a lot of talk about it lately. More specifically, the hope that our new President can restore our country and save it from the problems we’ve gotten ourselves into. My hope is that the passion and...

next blog
There is a pet peeve I have that involves people saying “next Monday” when the monday is question is actually 3 days away (e.g. “I’m going boating next monday”).
“Next Monday” is next week, blog readers. Now you may be thinking, “but Ryan, Monday is technically next week” …. Oh contraire. Who decided Sundays end the week? And who’s...

January 12th.
I’ve never been much of a fan of January but the 12th is exactly 6 months until my birthday - and the middle of summer. This is how I remember the evolution of my half-birthday:
When I was an adolencent my mom pointed out to me one January 12th that it was my half-birthday. I jokingly suggest that she make me some cup cakes that day to celebrate. In the same act of humor she...

note to sleep: i dont need you
Actually I do. I failed my mission of staying up all night. The plan was to take a one-hour nap and then head out of lakewood park to catch the sunrise at 7:30. I find napping much easier if you’re in your own bed, on top of the covers and dressed in more than you usually sleep in. It tricks the mind into thinking it’s only temporary. This one-hour nap turned into a 3-hour nap when I...
dear blog
I dont even think Im tired. Ive pulled all-nighters before. I stayed awake one night when I lived in the house in BG. I just never got tired and I stayed up all night, listened to music. I was early to my 8am class the next day, I worked late at night until like 2am and I never got tired at all. It was like a 34 hour day.
I dont think I need to sleep 7 days a week. Im just going to stay up...
