Last week, Thursday I think, Ashley F. notified me that there was something in one of our trees that was causing the dogs to go beserk. In the back, inside a cavity of one of the trees along our fence was a possum. Notice how menacing this sucker is, you can thank me later for…

We spent the day, literally, in Fort Worth yesterday at the Texas Tech and TCU football game. It was hot, and a bit windy but otherwise a really good time, despite the fact that Tech didn’t play very well at all. We have some house-cleaning issues to consider before getting to yesterday’s activities. First, the…

I want to thank Duk for participating in the 9.11 assignment, he’s a really good writer, which I am sure is a product of years of law school. He has some really nice points and I encougage all of you to write about that day. I promise it will be good therapy. So, we actually…

Is there a more appropriate writing assignment than this, where were you this day? I don’t want to make this more dramatic that what today is really about, but where were you. Here was my inspiration, Rocketboom. I also recommend taking a look at these pictures, they were taken September 13, 2001 and they are…

I have started another blog, Raider Red Nation, which is intended to cover Texas Tech football. Eventually, I’d like to blog under the SB Network, but until then I’ll blog here. I know that not everyone cares about this, but for those of you who do care here it is.

It’s bee a really long time since we’ve received any significant rainfall here in North Texas (I actually think it’s been since July 4th) so to celebrate, I decided to take a couple of pictures to memorialize the day. Our chimney. Blue and Zoey wishing they were outside.

I’ve really got nothing today and I’ve made it a fairly regular practice to post on Wednesday so I’m just posting some links I’ve stumbled upon recently: How to take fantastic digital photographs. Create your own seal like I did on the upper left portion of the old blog. Click on this link to find…

Very busy weekend with lots of family things going on. Friday night we celebrated Miranda’s, Saralyn’s, Marilea’s and Mom’s birthdays at Saralyn’s home. The gumbo was great and Miranda and I left early enough to check out the new addition to the Northpark mall. Mom, Grace and Miranda. I’m sure that Darius is proud, Grace…

Miranda and I have been blessed because we have some really large trees in our yard. When we first moved into our house we had six huge oak tress. Whether it be because of the extreme drought from this summer or just old age, two of my six trees have died. Because of their size…

I first purchased the Gillette Mach 3 when it first came out, sometime in 1991 or 1992. Even in high school I was cursed with a somewhat heavy beard and whatever disposable razor I purchased at the time always cut up my face and did more harm than good. Essentially I needed a razor that…
