Well, my wife’s great, great,…….grandfather is back in the news, or magazines. Christianity Today has an article on Jonathan Edwards. I had to get this posted before my wife finds out that I have been lagging in finding ancestoral news. Thanks to Jon at Random Commands for the heads up.

Well, it seems we finally have our bus snafu worked out. The bus showed up within 10 minutes of its scheduled time, in the correct place, with the correct bus number, in plenty of time to get the children to school, and managed to get them home this afternoon as well. Hooray!! […]

I have a relevant conundrum. The USGBC (United States Green Building Council) is changing the testing for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). I would receive LEED accreditation when I pass the test. The conundrum is: do I take the test. I have until October 31st, and then the test […]

This will be a quick post.  It is getting late, but this has been on my mind.  I wanted to get this out there before I forgot.
My heart and prayers go out to the families in Kentucky.  A smallish plane took off from the wrong runway yesturday and took to the air, but just for […]

Okay, people (Jon) have been banging cups against bars wanting school pics. Well, here they are, only 15 days late. It took me a while to figure out to get real pics up there, and not thumbnails.
    
Two pics of back to school boy! All ready for school with Buzz Lightyear and Lightning […]

After a decisive 9-0 loss to Oakland last night, the Rangers have currently lost 4 out of their last 5. Their only win during that time was the last game in Tampa Bay on Thursday night, which they tried very hard to lose. I do believe the Rangers are officially out of the […]

As you have been told, my neice Maggie is now 21. Yeah! So where was I when I was 21. I was starting my Jr. year at Texas A&M, and my new neice was just three weeks old. Yes Maggie, that’s you. I was driving a ‘78 Chevy Luv and […]

While CADD on a stick is smoldering, let’s talk turkey.  My lovely bride gave me a very nice BBQ set for our anniversary.  I also got a couple of pretty nice mits and an apron too.  The only problem is that we do not have a grill, yet.  We are in the market for a […]

Today Matt’s niece turns 21. (Happy Birthday, Maggie!!) She is now, according to law, a full-fledged legal adult, with all the rights and responsibilities thereto. Matt and I were married when she was only 8, so it’s been fun watching her mature and come “into her own” over the past 13 years.

Okay, my newest goal, besides continuing to tweak the blog, is to see if I can get CADD on a stick. I want to somehow get a 2-D drafting program that I can run off of a flash drive. 3-D would be better, but 2-D is fine.  It does not have to be AutoCAD, but […]
