M is for Mississippi
I don’t live in DC anymore.  Heck, I don’t even live in Eastern Standard Time anymore.  Boys and girls, I now live in the great state of Mississippi.  More on this later.   I will be making some big changes to this page soon.  In the meantime, take comfort in the picture below.  This are only a small slice of the wonderful things that Mississippi has to offer.

one forty plus: The One Week Digital Cleanse →
I am very much looking forward to starting my 2011 this way.  In fact, I have been thinking about the one week digital cleanse since I decided not to participate last year (I figured it would be best to be as reachable as possible when searching for a job).  But this year, I already have my next move planned out.  Let’s see what I can rediscover about myself in just one week.   Mention...

The Invitation
Greetings! My name is Dave, and this signifies the beginning of the adventure that I will be undertaking for the foreseeable future.  Like many recent college graduates, I am now just starting the next big phase of my life.  This will be my way of documenting it.   Other than an expression that I like to use from time to time, WRITING THE HITS is my mission statement.  Like a songwriter honing...
