Okie(s) in Florida

I like women. That’s why I married one.
But sometimes the habits of women amuse me. Today, while waiting on the elevator for the parking garage, a woman about my age was also standing in the small foyer. She was wearing this flowery dress thing, a little low-cut (no, I am not being a pervert you […]

Blogging had always been a wonderful hobby of mine years ago at www.xanga.com/katybeth27. I even enjoyed writing a very successful anonymous dating blog prior to my relationship with Ryan.

So I made it to my hotel, the […]

Well, I head to Arizona tomorrow for an IRE boot camp on advanced statistics. Ought to be a great learning experience, especially considering it’s Steve Doig and Jennifer LaFleur teaching something like four students. Great teacher to student ratio, huh?
If you’re a fan of How I Met Your Mother, check this out.
