I finally got my new car after seemingly insurmountable odds against me. We’ve had a string of bad luck lately, but I hope that this and other recent events signify the end of all that. You may recall the details around the purchase of Amy’s car, the Honda Element. I swore I’d never go through… Continue reading Lava Orange (Georgia Clay)

Wedding Photography Revolutionized
It’s so funny. My wife and I were just talking about this new business plan the other day, and then I happened across the case online. Things have been difficult, to say the least, in the wedding business. When clients pile up, it’s real easy to get overwhelmed. In light of some of Amy’s more… Continue reading Wedding Photography Revolutionized
Blogpoly
BoingBoing tells me about a very clever play on “Monopoly” for the blogoshpere. Everyone has their own version, so it was only a matter of time. Now if only someone would print up the board to play on. You’d have to work out some sort of way to use RSS subscribers as the monetary unit.… Continue reading Blogpoly
How Lightsabers Work
Today, I was pointed to a good article on How Stuff Works [.com]. You’ll be amazed at the technical depth to which this article reaches. It just goes to show you the ernest efforts put forth by fans of Sci-Fi. Do not underestimate the loafer. “There are two ends to any lightsaber — one end… Continue reading How Lightsabers Work
Creation Museum
I have mixed feelings about this one. The Answers in Genesis group is working to put together the funds for the “Creation Museum” in Cincinnati. On the one hand, it seems really cool that a creationists natural history museum includes such things as dinosaurs in their perspective. I may not know enough about creationism, but… Continue reading Creation Museum
April Showers
They say April showers bring May flowers. In the case I witnessed this morning, the showers came in the form of snow and May’s flowers were a bit stunted. What kind of bizarre turn of events is this?!? Yesterday, Amy and I worked our booths at the “Art on the Square” festival in Gainesville. It… Continue reading April Showers
Sleep Takes the Weary
I’m laying in bed about to fall out. Today, I mowed the entire lawn for the first time this year. It was quite a feat, and our yard is pretty large. It’s also a ridiculous hill from the top of the driveway to the run-off creek. Since I completed the task (I rarely ever mow… Continue reading Sleep Takes the Weary
New Recruits
Carlos Rivera and I have both been trying to recruit additional members into the blogosphere. At present, we’re working on pressuring a fellow car-pooler, David C., and a co-worker, Marc W. Each of them have some assemblage of a web site already, but you and I know that excuse is lame. Besides, I don’t think… Continue reading New Recruits
Reminiscing Illness of Yonder Years
When I was in grammar school and sick, my mom would set me up with a bunch of Bob Hope “Road to…” shows or some Abbott and Costello films to keep me entertained throughout the day. I also enjoyed the taste of Saltines, chicken soup, and lemon-lime Gatorade. To this day, I’m mostly unwilling to… Continue reading Reminiscing Illness of Yonder Years
Hiding Spot #104
My wife, Amy, called today in a panic asking, “did you take off Balthazar’s shoes last night…where are they?” I realized that shoes would still be in my car, where he took them off himself yesterday evening. The problem is that all of Balthazar’s shoes went missing yesterday or the day before, and the only… Continue reading Hiding Spot #104
