All Beard Things Must Come to an End
When I hit puberty about three years ago, I decided two very important things. 1. I need to try and graduate college in under 10 years. 2. I will never, ever grow a beard. Apologies to my brethren, but red beards are a terrible idea for 99% of gingers. But because I’m a man of [...]

My Favorite Debt
Mar 9, 2009 hitchhiking, reading
I picked up a hitchhiker this morning and he identified me immediately: “You’re a Cedarville student, aren’t you?” Is it that obvious? Do I just radiate repressed fundamentalist vibes?

I will give a more detailed trip report later since I took pretty good notes (but failed on the photographic front). I’ve revised the purpose & rules of this trip so [...]
