9/11. Never forgotten.
It seems like just yesterday that the date – September 11 – was branded to the heart of our nation. We panicked – we fell – we grieved – we cried. I can remember that day so vividly. I was in freshmen P.E. class at Francis Howell Central High School, when a voice came over…
“The Adventures…” resume – a personal story of my day
Last night, before I drifted off to sleep I said a brief prayer. I asked for Grandma Sarah to visit me – or send me a sign in a dream; she did. I dreamed I was waiting a table – the bill totaled $25. The guests left me $17. When I woke I remembered two…

Best Body 2013: It’s “Bobby-time”
It’s no secret that over the past decade I’ve really struggled to attain the body I desire. Last year I made great strides in the right direction and lost 30 pounds from January 16-March 15. I managed to keep that weight off – until this most recent winter (November-April) when I gained 20 pounds back….
#Virtual300: A Course Review
It’s my last semester of graduate school. I knew the semester would be hectic and the workload had potential to be immense.
