Blueberry Muffins and the Taste of Disappointment
Nov. 6, 2011—Yesterday morning I forwent the standard weekend Rand Brunch with some friends in order to try my hand at nearly-forgotten culinary skills, namely the baking of muffins of the blueberry variety.

When, however, the...
Outdoor Recreation: Climbing at King’s Bluff
Oct. 5, 2011—One of my favorite things to do on a weekend is to get away for a day and go outside! I don’t just mean reading a book while basking in the sun. I mean good ol’ hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and above all (pun intended!) climbing!
Family Weekend and Another Football WIN
Sep. 17, 2011—In case you haven’t heard, Vanderbilt football won again! They tore the Old Miss Runnin’ Rebels apart, and won by score of 30 to 7. The Runnin’ Rebels’ only points came with under three minutes left to play. And oh yeah, it’s Family Weekend!
