Heading out for a quick overnight in Dallas this weekend. I have plans to go see a nifty play with some of my Mensa buddies there. It should be a lot of fun. And will be a good distraction from all the doom and gloom going on around here with the people I know ( Read more... )

Christmas has come and gone. It was a good Christmas. The kids were pleased with their presents. Santa brought Timmy a bike and Becca an electric guitar. So far I am not regretting that, surprisingly. She is taking it pretty seriously. Devin got several games for the wii, ps2 and her computer. I haven't seen much of her since. lol. My ( Read more... )

It's been a good day around here. Quiet for the most part. Which was a nice change. My girlfriend Leigh Ann dropped by this morning to leave her dog with us for the holiday. She and her husband are traveling to visit her parents and asked us to take care of Buddy for her. He's no problem to look after ( Read more... )

A mostly quiet day at home yesterday was spent getting the house caught up to a higher level of cleanliness than that of a garbage dump. My laundry was over flowing and taking over the bathroom. I did run out briefly to look for my Secret Santa gift and pick up some meds for this darn cough. They help some, but I am pretty miserable at the ( Read more... )

Saturday was indeed as busy as it promised to be. I was up by 7:40 to get ready and head to Pine Bluff. I got Becca up and dressed, telling her I need for her to do me a special favor and I would tell her what it was later on. We left the house about 9:00 ( Read more... )
