Well, this is it. With thanks to Debbi’s new laptop, I have survived NaBloPoMo. I never even signed up for it. I do not even know what prize(s) I may have missed. I tried to keep most posts informative and not just filler. Some were though.
Today was a good day. It started with the first […]

I shaved Tuesday morning. Not jsut the trim, but the whole thing. I have had a goatee since day one at this firm, and nobody has even noticed that I shaved it all off. Well, one person, five minutes ago noticed. Amazing. I guess either I am invisible or they […]

The Dallas Rotary Club is giving the Dallas Police Department enough money to buy about 700 AR-15s for its officers.  Well that should make everyone feel safe now.  According to the on-air story these are fully automatic AR-15s, so they are really M-16s.  Not quite sure what that diff is.  The AR-15 is the civilian […]

Well the TV folks have come out with a list of the top 100 TV catchphrases of all time.  I also heard about on KRLD on my drive in this morning.  They aired 20 of them, one they aired is not on this list…..”Marsha, Marsha, Marsha…”  It is an interesting compilation, but I tend to […]

Okay, today is the first day back to work after turducken day.  I did my usual thing and listened to KRLD on my drive in.  It keeps me up to date on the world and more importantly, the traffic.  One news story was about a car wreck in Ft. Worth.  A SUV blitzed through a […]

Okay, glad we came back Saturday, because Sunday was not a restful day. It was busy. We ended vacation the same way as we started it. We went to the mall to have pics with Santa. This time it was only a 90 minute wait total, not nearly as bad. We got the pics done […]

Well, today is a packing and driving day.  Yesturday we spent most of the day in Abbeville at Doll’s, Tippy’s, or at the city square playing hide-n-seek, tag, or follow-the-leader.  It was a fun day.  We had shrimp po-boys for lunch and duck for dinner.  The kid’s thought were told it was chicken.  Cousin Di […]

I mean, Gig ‘Em Aggies!!
In an unlikely turn of events, Texas A&M (8-3) WON their annual Thanksgiving grudge match against t.u. (don’t care about their record)  We didn’t get to see much of the game but we did see the most important part - the go-ahead score and final interception which put the game away for […]

It must have been something I ate.  We had a great Turducken Day!  We had a buffet meal at the Riverfront in Abbeville, LA.  It was a really good meal with turkey, pork loin, ham, dirty rice stuffing, cornbread stuffing, corn, green bean casserole, broccoli cheese casserole, sweet breads and dessert.  Oh yeah, mac and […]
