The year 2009 is only two hours away here in Nepal, as I am ten hours and 45 minutes ahead of Cincinnati here in Kathmandu. Forty-five minutes? I know, strange.

Its hard to stay focused. You are doing great and suddenly without noticing you’ve fallen. You lose sight of where you’ve been and of where you should be and who you are. Why is this? I don’t know. It has a lot to do with distraction and comfort though. [...]
If you will permit me, I would like to take you back in time to the year 1989. Paul Seevers, that being me, is 8 years old and living in Wauchula, Florida. His hair is bleach blond from the Florida sun, so much so you can’t see his eyebrows. He is in [...]
