Wine for Whine

Beth and I have a new “thing” that I hope will become a whole/real tradition (we’ve already met the Aggie definition of a tradition: it’s happened twice!). Last night, we had a Wine for Whine session where we each had wine while we whined about the crap that is part of our lives right now. [...]


Larry Salter & Harold Morrison Memorial Golf Tournament

Some of you may remember when, earlier this year, a good friend of my dad’s passed away. Well, the next step was to add Harold’ s name to the Memorial Golf Tournament. There are also plans to install a memorial bench at the course, like the one there in memory of Daddy. Larry Salter & [...]

Amazon dot com is The Suck

Amazon is officially on the blacklist. They have taken on a role of censorship and worse, are inconsistent about it, equating several entire demographics of people with immoral behavior. Who do they think they are? Thanks to our friend Steve for pointing this out on facebook over the weekend. Thanks to one of my brides, [...]


Newest Family Member: Valvet

This is a funny little example of the way our world works. As we were leaving the house for Easter… Emil: Turtleor is upset that we’re leaving. She thinks we are going to bring her a baby brother or sister. As we were driving into Dime Box… Lori: I hope we don’t find another turtle. [...]
