Random Acts of Mind by Dones

A bit of explanation: My friend James made an off-hand remark on a really good blog post about gas conservation that he shot 22 rolls of (I assume 35mm) film on his recent trip to Europe. First, I say, well done, James! Not only on the trip to Europe, but on taking that many shots […]

Wow! My ‘Last 10 Seconds’ video of me watching the KU-North Carolina game in Allen Fieldhouse made it to #9 on the highly respected Jayhawk fansite PhogBlog.com run by one of my former college roommates. Check out the rest of the top ten: #2 happens to be another friend’s video of the championship victory in […]

Here is a great video my friend shot of the final moments of the game, as watched by 10,000 wild Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse. It gives me chills when they play U2 as the fans storm the court!

A childhood friend, the son of close friends of the family, died on Monday. He is only 2 years older than me–just 32.  I didn’t spend half as much time with him as I should have, but any time he saw me he was the nicest guy in the world to me.  He used to […]

A long-time friend has started a blog called The Common Sense Approach.  You’ll want to bookmark it and check back when he’s got some of his masterful writing posted. You think I’m a rant artist? He puts me to shame, in a few different ways. We don’t always see eye-to-eye on everything, but he always […]
