New Look

I changed themes once again, but I’m hoping to stick with this one for a while. The last theme change, which was to the Kubrick theme, was dictated by the fact that my old Barthelme theme wouldn’t handle some widgets that I wanted to use.
Kubrick worked great, but being the default theme means you’ll [...]

Missing Posts

Just a note, the posts of Reagan sleeping in a chair and of me with a Mohawk have been removed.  They we’re somehow messing up the layout between the two and I couldn’t figure out which one was the cause.  Thus, they had to go.  Hopefully, this was a one time glitch.

Just a Wee Bit Busy…

Hey everyone.  Sorry there haven’t been any posts recently.  With Christmas, New Year, and baby Elly only a week away, things have been so crazy.
Here’s a quick rundown of the holidays.  On Christmas Eve, I developed shingles, which if you didn’t know is when you get Chicken Pox again as an adult.  There’s a lot [...]

A Night @ the Movies

Last night Dessa and I went out for a long awaited night on the town with our friends Marty and Amy.  Reagan stayed over at Marty and Amy’s with their two children, watched by a babysitter.
First, we went to Opry Mills Mall and watched National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets.  Before I get to the [...]

Vanderbilt vs. USA

Last night I watched Vanderbilt battle USA into double overtime. Decked in their red, white, and blue, the University of South Alabama made it more than just a game by leading most of the night until Vandy came back close to the end. Me and my friend Marty got some free tickets from [...]

“Look… Real Grease!”

Today I performed my first automotive repairs.  Growing up enthralled by books, computers, and video games, I never took an opportunity to learn anything about cars.  As I moved into adulthood, I learned how to check oil, water, tire pressure, and change a tire, but I’ve never actually done any repair or hardcore maintenance.  I [...]

My wonderful Father-In-Law.  A brave man to do this

My Brother.  A man rarely seen, and then this happens.  I told him not to eat that twentieth slice of pizza.  It just does things to your brain.
A quick note to Steve, “I miss you already, B.”

My dad and my son.  They both crashed on [...]

Goodbye to a Good Woman

Last week my Granny, Elsie Freeman, passed away. She had been sick for quite a while, and in recent weeks her sickness had escalated to the point that this was expected, but it still left a lot of sadness in the remaining 12 children (Tommy, the youngest child, died several years ago in a [...]

Chclunk, Chclunk, Chclunk

Our car may be dying. I sure hope it isn’t, but the sounds don’t make me too optimistic. I got in it yesterday, minding my own business as I gingerly turned the key to the old boat, but the old boat decided that she didn’t like me. Instead of the nice gentle [...]

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I turned 25.  First, thank you to my wife for making this a great weekend.  I even enjoyed the 5 hours that we spent in Opry Mills shopping for Christmas on Sunday
It really was a great weekend, even if it started with watching my Tennessee Volunteers lose to Cal.  The highlight of [...]
