RV envy

I love to camp and have mentioned that on here before so I won’t go in to all the reasons why.  Recently (like in the past year) I have been trying to live simplier.  I want to get rid of a lot of my stuff but haven’t been disciplined enough to sort through it sell [...]

Hard Times

I haven’t blogged about this because I’m not sure I have the words but this family really needs prayers right  now so I feel like I need to help get the word out.
I attend church at North Atlanta but I go to a Sunday night small group from East Cobb.  There is a family at [...]

Les Miserables

One of the few books that I actually read in High School and remember is Les Miserables.  I fell in love with the story and have actually read it since HS.  I have seen it performed on the stage a couple of times and love it even more.  So when I found out it was [...]

Gas shortage

Before I complain about gas, lack of it, and selfishness I want to say that today is an historic day . . . my mother not only read my blog but also commented on it!!!  I am grinning so big right now my face hurts.
Now to my complaints:  The threat of a hurricane raised gas [...]

Trail bite

I have done a pretty good job so far of remaining injury free while mountain biking.  This seems to be a great feat.  I went for a ride Friday after work and some guys in the parking lot were talking and one said, “if you aren’t falling it ain’t fun.”  Me and the other guys [...]

Honey Mustard

So it isn’t really a live sporting event without at least one drunk guy story.  I have 2 to share.
It was $1 hot dog night at the stadium.  After getting my dollar dog I was standing in line for condiments (a longer line than the concessions line).  Since the kid in line behind me got [...]

Cheap date night – if only there were a date

I am not a Braves baseball fan but I love sports and enjoy live sporting events.  So when the opportunity for a free ticket was presented I jumped.  I have gotten free and inexpensive Braves tickets before but beyond the ticket you end up with parking fees, food, and drinks.  It is never truely cheap [...]

Storms, Pizza, and Phone calls

My parents live in Northwest Lousiana.  They got a lot of wind and rain from Hurricane Ike this weekend but no damage.  They lost power on Saturday but it came back on about 3 am Sunday.  My brother is in Northeast Texas and also had wind and rain but no damage.  His power is still [...]

Bright Futures

My brother’s life long dream has been to own his own restaurant.  A year ago an investor found out about him and wanted to bring him on board for a restaurant venture he was undertaking.  In this venture the investor would pay the expenses but the restaurant plan, design, and menu would be done by [...]

Sunday in the Park

I have always said that Sunday afternoon was made for naps and football.  I love turning on a game, getting wrapped up in my favorite blanket, and watching a football game while dozing off and on any given Sunday afternoon.  But what do you do when football season is taking its own sweet time rolling [...]
