This happened a few days ago, but I find myself sporadically still thinking about it. Earlier this week, there was a shooting at the corner of 8th and Washington, a block up from where I work. One of my coworkers was outside in our parking lot at the time, and heard the *pop pop pop!*…
Sneaky Saints Fan
Well, actually, I’m NOT a sneaky Saints fan at all. I am, in fact, typically a fairly brazen Saints fan. Today, though, I’m walking in two worlds. It is Casual Broncos Day here at work, which means everyone can wear their Broncos Swag and be all excited. Since MY team is playing this weekend, too,…

*Knock Knock*…This Thing On?
Well, I’ll be. It looks like I’ve started a blog! *ahem* Welcome to Follow Your Crazy. The only thing that has kept me from starting this writing space was the lack of a name for it.
