Well, we have finally reached August, temperatures are hitting record highs, and summer is finally close to being over. This year has been bad. Much of it has to do with the events of March and April, but sometimes life is zigging when I want it to zag.
This weekend posed new problems - of which [...]
I attended the Drum Corp International (DCI) Southwestern Championship at the AlamoDome in San Antonio, TX last night with two college friends and a great time was had by all. The Blue Devils were the ultimate winner last night, the Cavies came in second, and Carolina Crown came in third. Personally, I enjoyed the Blue [...]
This is just a quick posting that I have made the weather website live again… This is the site I used to have up a long time ago and is still very beta and needs to have many more improvements made, but for those of you in the local area who need access to the [...]

Some days involve me dwelling in places so horrible that I can’t believe my mind can conjure them. I know this is a process and [...]
I have update the Photo Gallery once again. I moved the Friends section to it’s own category and added photos to the Family, Personal, and Friends section. Most of the Family photos added will be on Page 2. The “Personal” gallery updates are scattered on both pages. The friends update are all at the end [...]
I added some additional photos in both the Family section as well as my personal photos.. My additions to the personal photo section chronicle more of my early youth. Man am I getting sentimental these days…
I added an additional photo of my father to the Family section of him on his beloved Farm-All-B (sp) tractor. This [...]
Yes, as I promised I have (or will have) posted more photos from my family - primarily of my mother and father - and most from before my time.
