My favorite coffee at Starbucks is Komodo Dragon, followed by Italian Roast, followed by Sumatra.
Random Declaration #10
If we had cable TV I’d be hooked on the Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel. I watched it several times in the condo during vacation and I was mesmerized. I’m putting being a deckhand on a crab boat in the Bering Sea at the very top of my list of jobs I don’t want […]

Back
I spent most of last week in Malibu at the Pepperdine lectures. I had a great time chilling out at the Malibu Country Mart, eating stuffed fajita quesadillas at La Salsa, driving up and down the Pacific Coast Highway, and hanging out with a few good friends. Yesterday I took the day off from Garnett […]

Lent Busters
Sweet-Tarts jelly beans are the best jelly beans ever. You can only find them around Easter and–as it seems to be the case here in Tulsa–at Walgreens. The last two seasons of Lent I’ve tried to give up sugar. Both times these little beans of sweet jelly coated with a tart outer shell have shipwrecked […]

Tea Snob
Over the past year, I’ve become quite the tea snob. No more Liptons for me. I’ve recently found a neat little tea shoppe with a great online presence that’s not too far from where I used to live. Check it out and get yourself some tea. I recommend the jasmine pearls.

Long Day
Sometimes I look at my calendar and wonder how everything ended up being scheduled on the same day. Tomorrow I’ve got a couple of meetings, a conference call, a funeral, and a session of premarital counseling to do. I know some people are energized by this kind of scheduling. It completely drains me. I like […]

34
I’m finishing up my 34th birthday. It’s been a good one. I’ve spent a good portion of the day reading and thinking. Heather and I just had dinner at our favorite restaurant in the Tulsa area. A nice piece of cheesecake and a batch of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies await. Every year, I try […]

Technical Difficulties
We’re experiencing unusually slow load times here at wadehodges.com. Everyone who uses my webhost is complaining about it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Update: Everything seems to be working fine now.

Cold Food
Since the holidays I’ve been doing a really good job of eating 1) foods that God made 2) as close to their natural state as possible 3) in moderation. Nothing blows a healthy eating plan up like an ice storm. Being cooped up in an ice-covered house while watching football interspersed with severe weather reports on T. […]
