How I Lost 28 Pounds
At the start of June I told my wife I was going to lose 20 pounds that month. She tried to reel me back into reality by telling me that was a pretty lofty goal and I should aim a little lower. Being the stubborn man I am, I told her she should find a [...]
The Day the PodCast Died
July 1st, 2010. That was my first day at my new job. It is a great job and I am thankful for it. One of the best parts about it? My drive went from 45 minutes down to about three. The savings on gas is tremendous, not to mention the wear and tear on my [...]
Dear Rogers High School Classmates,
It is no secret that I am not a huge Facebook user. As a matter of fact, this might be the first time I have checked in outside of twitter in months. I was inspired to check in today because of a friend of mine, Denita. She wrote a dissertation about Facebook being a time [...]
Now, That’s Music People!
I auditioned for my churches band last week. It was probably one of the worst auditions I have ever had. It seemed if it could go wrong, it did. You name it. I started one song in the wrong key, failed to get into the meter of another. Could not hear myself on guitar (I [...]
Writing on the Back Burner
The Internet is a cool place. I spent a lot of time immersed in the Internet (click here for my other site). I like Twitter and blogs as much as the next guy. Most of all, writing is something I love to do. I love summer and being with my family even more. I thought [...]
My Baby Girl
Abigail continues to grow despite her dad wishing she would stay a cute little baby forever. While I fear all the things dads of little girls fear, I have a great amount of hope. My hope begins with Jesus and extends to those He has chosen to place around us. I have said it many [...]
I Call it, Home
I started a new job yesterday. It is still in the realm of Information Technology, but it deals with the “other side.” I have spent the last five years working with Windows OS’s, now I am working with Apple. The good news is, I have been using a Mac for several years and have always [...]
Insurance, New Jobs, and Friday
A few days ago, I got a quote for term life insurance and signed up to get a call from an insurance agent regarding my home and auto (yes, I am taking Dave Ramsey’s advice). Yesterday I had to fast in order to take a blood / urine test, fill out the term life application, [...]
Cell Phones
Last year, my wife dropped her phone in a bucket of wallpaper removal solution. A little while later, I discovered my phone’s battery would often come dislodged causing the phone to turn off or restart (easily fixed by jamming some cardboard in with the battery). One year later, my wife’s phone has consistent problems with [...]
Better Coffee?
For Father’s Day, I received a french press: I read about them for years. They are supposed to be the best way to make that caffeinated brew to which so many of us have formed an addiction. I was skeptical. We have had Mr. Coffee and Krups telling us they have found the way to [...]
