Chapel Service Scheduler
Wow. I haven't posted here in forever. I've pretty much moved to facebook. Anyway, I was going through my old files and found this tongue-in-cheek "Chapel Service Scheduler" I had cooked up for the funeral industry ( Read more... ) -
lawyers in stupid hats
Okay, for years we've had this local advertisement out of Longview for this lawyer whose trademark is this ridiculous hat - it's some sort of leather fedora that is too small for his head. In every commercial he tops off a rather nice suit with this odd, poorly-fitted, headgear and exclaims, "You can trust the man in the hat!" Seriously folks, I ( Read more... ) -
Latest Abbyism
I need this kind of Holiday Spirit -
As a christmas decoration, I changed the regular lightbulb in Abby's room for a green one. When she came home from school and saw this she clasped her hands together and said, "This is going to be the best Christmas ever!" -
Tiger Woods press conference, LOL
Okay, that was hilarious. I hope I'm not the only person who got to see the Florida Highway Department's press conference on the Tiger Woods car crash. In a nut shell, they held a press conference to announce that they will not be holding press conferences. Oh there was a lot of wordage, like the chubby little FHD major's explanation on the ( Read more... ) -
The secret to landing a major publisher - get a job at CNN
Has anyone else noticed that every-freaking-body who works in television news has a book out? Now Al Roker has a book on the shelves. That's right, the weatherman. Granted he's a pleasant face with a knack for pointing out those pesky low pressure fronts, but does that really make him a writer? Okay, let's just say for the sake of arguement that he ( Read more... ) -
redneck in the big city
Went to Shreveport with Shelly (and no kids!) for two nights. I lost my ass at blackjack, but had a ball. I also realized why they gave us free rooms; we more than paid for them out of our losses. Funny thing is I got drunk in the big city, but I really didn't do anything overly redneckish. Nothing worth chroniclizing anyway. I did however ( Read more... ) -
Lou Dobbs going to FoxNews - Nooooooooo
I like Lou Dobbs. I disagree on a some issues, especially immigration, but even when I disagree I like the fact that he puts his points forward in a very intelligent manner, and I also like the fact that he speaks more or less form the center-right. Now he's no longer with CNN and he's headed to FoxNews. If the was ever a sign of America's over- ( Read more... ) -
Anti-PC Rant!
After logging off from my last post I decided to make good on my promise to locate Valerie Hobbs and in some why thank her for writing a book that has become so important to my daughter (and therefore to me). I decided to look up the book on Amazon and write my first Amazon review. There were six reviews already for the book. Five were 5 star ( Read more... ) -
Reading to Abby!
We've moved from picture books to real mid-level books with chapters and no pictures. The first book was "Sheep" by Valery Hobbs (it's about a Border Collie). Abby was reluctant at first, she looked the book over and said she wasn't interested. I read the first chapter anyway while she pretended not to like it; she covered her ears and ( Read more... ) -
