No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth, though the site has been pretty much inaccessible for two weeks now. My host, iPowerWeb, was transitioning many of their accounts to a new hosting platform. In the process, some DNS records were not updated correctly, effectively knocking me offline.
This is the first real problem [...]
I’ve been away from blogging for a while – mostly because I’ve just been too busy.
Brief recap of the last couple weeks:
We had Thanksgiving at at my grandparents’ farm in North Carolina as we usually do each year. They have about thirty acres and it is absolutely, without question my favorite place in the world [...]
Christmas has begun a little early this year. Due to an event right after we return from Thanksgiving, Marie began decorating our house this week. I must admit that it looks very nice.
My brother recently posted one of his favorite Christmas memories. I’m with him on the cherry candy canes, by the way.
Yesterday, [...]
I was really looking forward to Saturday evening. As lame as it might sound, when you have two young kids, the prospect of an extra hour’s sleep is quite appealing.
It wasn’t meant to be. At around 2:15 Saturday afternoon, I heard “Help!” by the Beatles blaring on my cell phone. That’s the song that plays [...]
Monday isn’t known for being the best day of the week, but I had a pretty good one yesterday. Marie and Taylor were both gone for various reasons, so I took the day off to hang out with Charlotte – a little father/daughter time.She got up around 8:30 and we ate some breakfast and then [...]

I contacted Apple and it was still under the initial one-year warranty. I gave them the information and they sent a DHL [...]
I took the kids through the Chick-Fil-A drive-thru yesterday. One problem: It is out-of-commission. Fortunately, this was Chick-Fil-A. They had two employees out there along the line of cars. One was taking orders on a notepad and passing them to the second person, who was on a cell phone to someone inside the store. She [...]
This weekend was crazy busy…but good.
Friday night, we had band practice for a while up at the church – good and productive.
Saturday, we cleaned up around the house a lot. My dad came over to watch FSU defeat Alabama (yah!). What’s better? FSU winning or Florida getting beat by Auburn? Tough call.
Sunday was jam-packed – [...]
Since purchasing a digital camera a few years ago, I have acquired a bit of my mother’s tendency to photograph everything…128 times. Looking through her photo albums now though, I am glad she did!
So far, Marie and my digital photo “library” consists of more thab 15,000 pictures and consume 29 GB of disk space. This [...]
You’ve surely heard of comfort food. It’s food that people find comforting or soothing for a variety of reasons, including it being associated with childhood, good memories, etc. Well, there are also comfort movies for me. I thought I was crazy when I thought about this, but a quick Google search revealed that others have [...]
