Well, to conclude our Christmas celebration today, we enjoyed a family viewing of “The Nativity Story.”  I hadn’t heard much press on this one other than the few trailers that made it into prime time, but I definitely wanted to support this movie regardless of what the critics thought of it.
My reaction?  A big “thumbs […]

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, allow me to share with you some yuletide wisdom, as imparted by our children:
“Jophes was Jesus’s erfily father.” - Crisana
“Mary lived in Nazariff.” - Crisana
“Santa comes at midnight.” - Trey
“I got a big box under the tree, so I know that it’s clothes.” - Trey
And, while […]

Today I went to the dentist.  I went to the dentist on Tuesday.  Today is Thursday.  That is not a very good sign.  Especailly when the dentist looks in your mouth, screams, and then goes ‘ca-ching!’  Yeah, it has been almost three years since I went to the dentist, and it showed.  Not anymore mind […]

When I was a kid, I had a terrible time.  First off, I got tonsillitis, followed by appendicitis and pneumonia.  After that, I got rheumatism, and to top it off, they gave me hypodermics and inoculations!
Geez, I thought I’d never make it out of that spelling bee….

Obviously so, because on the season finale of “Survivor”, neither Becky nor Sundra could figure out how to get a flame started, much less build a fire.  Good thing a woman wasn’t in charge in primal days or we would have all died out like the dinosaurs.
That had to be one of the all-time funniest […]

Well, it is that time of year again.  The time that we listen to carolers, put up the Christmas tree and lights, prepare for family visits, shop for gifts, and turn on the air conditioning.  Yes, December in Texas, that magical time of year when you do not know what the hell the temperture will […]

Below is an actual transcript of an email my brother Dan received from “one of my funny friends” (as he calls him…I won’t elaborate on the nuances of that description).  It was in response to an invoice he had sent Dan that Dan replied to with “The Czech is in the male.”(sic)  Enjoy.
 The long awaited […]

We seem to have been stricken with the sickness…  And I, the hives. 
Matt and Trey are teetering on the edges of some kind of upper respiratory infection.  Is it wrong of me to pray for my son to get a full-blown ear infection by TOMORROW AFTERNOON so I can take him  to the doctor BEFORE […]

The boiling point of beans of course. We went to lunch with RC & SB today after church. The place we picked is known for their adult videos..er…drinks, not their food. Yea, that explains this meal. I should have stuck with drinks. Anyhow, I ordered simple beef enchiladas, not a hard meal to […]

In a news story I heard on KRLD, a women was just a little too embarrassed (selfish?) and caused an entire airplane to divert to make an emergency landing. She had gas and used matches to cover up the odor. Other passangers smelled the burnt matches, alerted the flight crew and the plane […]
