| Description: |
Nathan is telling stories and sharing photos on the Internet. He lives in Oklahoma, where he had a fantastic, fascinating childhood and now has a life he wouldn't trade, including a genius husband, an imminently lovable family, a group of friends who keep him laughing and encouraged, and a dog who is just glad to get the occasional piece of cheese. Nathan loves Jesus but would rather listen than talk when it comes to faith. Nathan speaks from the heart and laughs at everything, and he hopes you'll read, and comment, and enjoy his little corner of the web, and share it with other people who will enjoy it. |

OMG U GIZE!
Apologies for the lack of blogginess for the last week or so. We had a whirlwind and very chaotic – but very, very wonderful – trip to North Carolina the first half of this week, but I seem to have caught some kind of demon cold that is slowly devouring me from the inside and will soon leave me a hollowed-out shell for its demonic host, not entirely like the thing that turned Fred into Illyria on Angel. I think I caught it from some virulent little Trick-or-Treater last weekend. Stinky little petrie dishes. Also, in my absence I ended up with a heaping plate of work that I’m trying to whittle down; I hope to do that by the end of the day.
The Resting Soul of Galileo
I hope all you Okies can pick up the Oklahoma Gazette this week; it contains what I think might be the best piece I’ve ever written for the publication – a farewell ode to Galileo Bar & Grill in the Paseo.
I started going to Galileo after my inglorious return to Oklahoma City in 2002, and have loved everything about it ever since. I love the artwork, the beer, the staff, the food, and especially the ambience. Because the Gazette is a strictly third-person publication, I wasn’t able to share my own personal memories of Galileo. So, here are some vignettes.

Uncovered
Driving up May last week I noticed that the sign at the NW 30th and May shopping center, the one with the awesome locally-owned grocery store, camera shop, burger joint, Christian coffee house and sex shop – just across the street from that place where they found that body, you know the one – had removed the laminate over their sign – one presumes to replace it? I hope not; I hope they’re going to restore this original sign, because it j
Nerd Power Groove Rock
I took this photo last night as my buddies @drpants played their infectious variety of rock-n-roll at the Venue in Oklahoma City’s Plaza District. I’d been sick for the better part of two days when we arrived at this show, but some pre-concert Phó cleared up my sinuses very nicely and I set about filling up a flash card with photos from this show. If you’ve never been to a Dr. Pants show, well, you’re missing out. I honestly cannot think of another rock b
They Call Them “OMG!” Cheeks
There is the fecund whiff of reproduction in the air; I, for one, couldn’t be happier, as several good friends have either had babies or created them in recent months. This is my new friend Camryn Ruthann, who turned seven weeks old yesterday. She was born on September 3 and has been spending her time doing a lot of sleeping. Seriously, though, doesn’t she have the cutest, squishiest cheeks ever? I mean, if you like that sort of thing in a baby. WHICH I TOTALLY DO. L
