Seek The Substantial

Greggo and Courtney were gracious hosts for the 4th of July celebration. This went so far as to the rental of the baddest bounce house I’ve ever seen. Washer playing and cooking out. The fireworks were something to behold in the boxes. Sunset. The first fireworks. They got better.

This is the last leg our our trip, our last two days in Dublin.  We take the 6:30 a.m. train from Killarney to Dublin, and of course, the day we leave Killarney it was a perfect day. Bygones. We arrive in Dublin and the city bus service is a hop-on…

Rain is still coming down, but Sweet Sweet and I wised up and decided to take a bus tour of the Ring of Kerry an incredibly scenic and beautiful part of the eastern coast of Ireland.  Some of the photos might have a glare to them because some of them…

Okay, I’ve been a little absent recently. Things are really starting to heat up over on DTN, which makes me incredibly happy. I recently sold my first bit of advertising on DTN and thought about buying stuff. Then I started thinking that I should be investing in DTN rather than…

Sweet Sweet and I celebrated 2 years of marital bliss on Monday.  The thought of being married for two years is almost surreal, it’s impossible that we could have been married for two straight years, that seems like such a long time, but in retrospect it’s been all too short.…

You want to feel old?  My little brother has graduated from college, the University of Texas to be specific.  I got up at 3:00 a.m. to drive to Austin for this special event, knowing that the trip there wouldn’t be bad, but the trip home would be hellish.  Anyway, let’s…
