Here’s an email I just sent to this guy, detailing a weird coincidence from today. Here’s something: Anytime someone makes a Twitter post that includes the word “Kurth,” I get a notice. It’s the lazy man’s way of googling yourself, I guess. Also, my wife’s name is Karianne, but in high school she went by […]

The other day Kaeta had quesadillas for dinner. While I was getting them ready, I told her, “Mr. Schroeder likes to say, I’ve got a bad case of the dillas!” She just stared at me. But then a minute later, she said, “Mr. Doh-dah like to say, I gotta bad case of dee-yas!” And she’s […]

A couple of years ago, I posted a video of my good friend Johnathan Fowler and me singing Decatur by Sufjan Stevens during a concert Johnathan gave at his […]

1. Historically, April Fool’s Day used to be celebrated on April 2nd. Betcha didn’t know that. 2. Jonah’s on Solids As of this past Saturday, Jonah is eating rice cereal. He loves it, can’t eat it fast enough, and can’t wait to see how much bigger his muscles are getting. 3. I actually completed a […]
