Ode To Fateful Love

A Dedication to the Woman I Love...

I wrote this Poem to my wife just under twenty-four years ago, shortly after I proposed only two weeks after our first meeting. These words ring true more today as they did when I wrote them...


Ode to Fateful Love

When the fires of past ages sparkle in her eye;

Her spirit speaks with every sigh.

She spreads her wings while I sleep and hovers over me, adoring my sweet slumber.

She puts them away when I wake,

The purest human form she takes...

This is my Love...

This is my Friend...

This is the keeper of my soul; and to my soul only, will she forever tend,

And our Love will never end.

Skies form within her eyes, like she's off soothing distant cries from my soul in another time...another place...

A place where our hearts collided and established our dreams for the eternity to come...

I've traveled many roads to come to this place of the everlasting smiling face;

And through that time I've come so far, riding on my faithful star...

So here I've landed and here I've come, to lie beside the only one...

And as I sit with my cup so full; I dream for two...

Into the ethereal plane we hover, and into the spacious firmament...

Into eternity...

I'll Love her.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
