“What Are You Thinking About” – POSTSCRIPT
A quote from the Denver Post pretty much sums up my feelings about The West Wing… “Passionate writing, earnest soliloquies invoking the very essence of democracy – in primetime! – ”West Wing“ defied the odds against serious thought on television. Sorkin pulled it off, while the long-simmering Josh- and-Donna attraction held interest on a more [...]
“What Are You Thinking About”
May is always a bittersweet month for me… it is the season of television show finales and I have a love|hate relationship with it. Always have. I love the effort and depth producers put into their shows during this time of year, but I loathe the reality that all shows eventually come to an end. [...]
Classic Contents
I am cleaning out my office and emptying some boxes of papers. One of these boxes apparently once lived a double life as an ‘exit box’ from Prestonwood. Here were some quotes I found scribled on papers in the box: “The desk is so big it has its own gravitational pull.” – David Franks. August [...]
“At Last”
There really is no way that I can tell you everything that has transpired since my last post or catch you up to speed without forgetting something. The Wedding was… well… nothing short of amazing, spectacular, storybook. It was a perfect February day with partly cloudy skies and brisk temperatures in the 60s. Oddly enough, [...]
It's finally here!
It is 30 minutes until the rehearsal, and I can’t believe the day is here… tomorrow. You may not hear from me for a few weeks…. But for those of you that traveled to B’Ham for the wedding: Thanks. To all of those who couldn’t, but were thinking of us: Thanks also. Keep me, and [...]
Not Even Sure What to Write…
… but I feel as though I must pen something. The wedding is close. Eleven days, close. Life is filled with preparations for that day, as well as the honeymoon, and finishing the house face-lifts before we leave. In addition to the normal workload there are lots of details that must also be accomplished to [...]

“Not Too Far From Here” Book
In this post I spoke a bit about Owsley County, Kentucky. My grandparents were raised there and my ancestors lived out their lives and are buried there. It is an amazing tale that my grandparents weave as they told stories of their childhood in the backwoods of Kentucky… a place that first received electricity less [...]
Not Too Far From Here
It felt like I had been here before. And though I had, in fact, been through this part of backwoods Kentucky on several occasions before today, it was not simple déjà vu that I was experiencing.. No, there was something more, something deeper, that was resonating within me this time. I know this place. Perhaps [...]
Open House
For anyone in the Ohio Valley area, you are invited to an Open House for Sally and I at Connersville Baptist Temple in Connersville, Indiana this Friday evening. It will be held in the Fellowship Hall from 5:00-8:00pm, Eastern Time. Surprise us and show up!
We're Homeowners!
I know I’ve been lax about posting around here lately. Sue me. Things have been nuts lately and you’re just gonna have to suffer until March when my life returns to some level of normality. Until then, you can celebrate now that Sally and I have had an offer accepted on this house. A wonderful [...]
I'm Engaged!
…I know, its pretty hard for me to believe too!! Some said that it would never happen, and honestly I was beginning to wonder myself. HAHAHAHAHA. Seriously though. The last year of my life has been something of a dream world. Friday, October 7, was our one-year anniversary of dating (if you count by her [...]
Life Lessons from High School Theatre – Epilogue
I feel as though I must post this. I am sad to say that I forgot about Kara T when I wrote about my experiences in High School Theatre (Parts 1-9 available in the Archives: March & April 2003). I knew immediately who she was when I read her name in my comments recently. I’ve [...]
the Lonesome Lone Star State
It was something like the great American caravan… a convoy of sorts. In the lead was a maroon Jeep Wrangler. I sat side saddle to my younger nephew Matthew, who at 16 was probably a better driver than even I. Behind us lumbering on the horizon was a large moving truck, 24 feet and filled [...]
Doctorate
Is it odd that I find myself thinking of a doctoral program? Most of my peers will think I’m nuts, but those who know me best will say they knew the day would come: Here’s the deal… – I have to be three years removed from my Master’s program. Right now, I’m just over two. [...]
M'top – One Year Anniversary
A year ago today I got the call that I had begun to think would never come. A year ago today, on the other end of the line, was my new boss. He had an offer and I had a smile. Life changed that day. I’d been unemployed for over five months. I had no [...]
History of the Blog: Part One
I was maintaining a weblog before I ever knew what blogging meant. In College, circa 1998-2000, I kept a homepage (as we called them then) filled with random musings about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. Those who remember it will cringe a bit as I remind them of the frames layout, the sun [...]
