This is my sister Janet's Flickr page. She's a really good artist. Not a bad photographer either!

The blog's a bit stale

I just realized that I had not looked at my blog in quite a while. I was really surprised to see that it's been almost a year. Now I really should decide what to do with it. Mothball it? Freshen it up? Hmm...I have to think on this a bit.

Shift in the cosmos

I feel a disturbance in the force. Something's happening, don't know what. More later!

Gettin' on up there

For some reason I always thought that it would be better than this.

The new me.....again

For anyone wondering what happened to the blog it's gotten out of shape just like its' owner. For the past 15 months or so I have not run much, not hiked much, not ridden my bike much. Now I'm 25 pounds heaver and can hardly breathe when I exert myself in the slightest. What will I do, you say? Well, today I decided that it's time get things back under control. I took at 10 mile bike ride. Not a hard or fast ride but a nice leisurely ride down the Tennessee Riverwalk. I took my time and tried not to get too winded. I'm sure that my legs will bother me later but it was worth it. It was fun, and it was relaxing. I am going to force myself to make this a habit. I am going to get back in shape. As for other things, perhaps I'll even dust off the old blog and try to post interesting things a little more often. Who knows?

Happy Birthday Cory

Good Times!

Spammers!

Well, I never wanted to do it but I'm turning on the comment moderation option for my blog. Spammers have left a few messages with useless links disguised as comments to my postings.
Arrrgh!!!

Merry Christmas to us!

Susan's tormentor

This morning Susan was trimming up some of the house plants in preparation for winter. She brings them in off the porch and trims the yellowing or dead leafs and stalks. All of a sudden she started screaming like she was being chased by the devil or some of his worst minions so I jumped up to see what was the matter and she was pointing (from about 10 feet away) at the plant that she had been trimming.
