Yee haw! The day has finally arrived for the Texas Pool to open for the summer. For the past 9 months, we’ve been treated to questions of “When will it be May?” “When can we go swimming again?” “When will it be May?” “How long is it until the pool [...]

Usually I let Matt handle the rants in our household. But today, I’m taking the reins and spouting off. It’s my blog, and I can rant if I want to…
According to a New York Times article, Dean Hancock, father of Josh Hancock (pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals who was killed in a [...]
This weekend was a sprint. We had two soccer games, a Cub Scout graduation camp out, one Praise Kids choir rehearsal, and one Praise Kids Concert. All of that was Trey. I have no clue what Crisana did this weekend, or even knew that she was alive. I ended up helping [...]
I have not watched the results show for AI yet, and since I haven’t offered a prediction or wrap-up all year, I figured I might as well do it now.
I also haven’t watched Tuesday’s episode where the 3 semi-finalists performed, so I’m really flying blind here. But based simply on originality alone, I believe Blake [...]
A recent issue of Stillpoint was delivered to our house recently. (This is the alumni magazine for Gordon College, fyi). I had updated my information with the college several months ago, but hadn’t seen an update in the alumni news yet. I scanned the section on the ’90’s and once again found that my information [...]

Several years ago, I was in a [...]
Today was the 7th annual Music by DESign recital, and I believe it truly was the best yet.
I know, I know, I said that LAST year, but this year it REALLY was.
We had 11 students perform out of my current enrollment of 13 (one student is an adult, and the adults don’t usually perform in [...]
No, I’m not referring to the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.
I’m referring to the May 10, 2007 Texas Rangers, who, in 6 games this season against the dreaded Yanks mustered up 12 total runs and gave up enough to rival the GNP of a small developing country. But yesterday, for one glorious day, the angels [...]
A more accurate description might be “No Sports in Dallas”. I mean, here we are at the beginning of May, and what is there on the local scene for the sports fan? Hmm…. let’s take a look-see, shall we?
Football: The Cowboys don’t report to training camp for another 3 months, and the Cowboys [...]
