Donald J. Sobol dies: Author wrote popular “Encylopedia Brown” series – The Washington Post – Oh no! I loved these books, and some of the things I learned from them stick with me today. (Like the fact that a gold brick would weigh 300lbs, and a word with three double letters in a row is ‘bookkeeper.’) I also loved that Leroy’s best friend and bodyguard was Sally, a smart but tough girl who punched out the town bully, Bugs Meany. This grown-up Sally salutes you, Donald J. Sobol.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

The one thing I remember from EB was that a person can’t reach their hand into the opposite side pants pocket while running. I refused to believe it and spent many after-school hours attempting it myself. 😉
