(Good) Friday
Posted on March 21, 2008 by Michael Young
Today is Friday. Furthermore, it is “Good Friday.” When, though, is Friday NOT good? Isn’t that what “TGIF” is all about? Strangely, yesterday felt like Friday to me for some reason. And I think that “feeling” is the best thing about Friday — the thing that may even make it better than Saturday. Friday is [...]

A Picture of Courage and Grace
Posted on March 20, 2008 by Michael Young

The memorial service and burial of Emily’s grandmother was yesterday. To my surprise, Emily delivered an eulogy. The original plan was that she would write something and let the minister read it. Instead, she did it herself.
At 16, this kid has [...]

A Night of Comedy
Posted on March 10, 2008 by Michael Young
One of my older posts was about comedy — one of my favorite things, to be sure. That is why I frequent our local comedy club, The Comedy Zone, whenever I have a chance.
Going to a comedy club is a crap shoot, and I know that going in. Many of the comics are local [...]
