“Old & Busted”… “New Hotness” Coming

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

No, the subject line isn’t refering to my 2008 reflections and my 2009 resolutions…
It refers to my blogs “theme editor. ”
A week or so ago my blog disappeared from the internet. Several of you e-mailed me about finding a blank page when you stopped by to see what was new with me. (By […]

One More Day in 2008

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Like you I’m tired of people saying how fast 2008 has gone. Can you believe that tomorrow is the last day of 2008? Can you believe that we are almost finished with the first decade of the 21st century?
Can you believe how fast time flies???
Yeah yeah yeah (and I don’t mean that in the spirit […]

Home Sweet Snow!

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Here I sit at the PC and laptop laden table in my living room. It’s so sweet! There are five people (Gerry, Beth, Erin, Sean, and me) and seven computers on. It’s great to be home!
Yesterday’s day of travel was an interesting experience. Here are some highlights:

I arrived at the Gulfport airport at 10 a.m. […]

But this is Mississippi!!

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

I came to Mississippi to escape winter. But apparently I didn’t fly far enough south for that.
I just listened to the forecast and towns a bit north of here will be getting 3-5″ of snow tonight and tomorrow. What? It isn’t supposed to snow down here!
For now, though, it looks like Biloxi will just get […]

My Visit to Beauvoir on Saturday

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

As promised I finally have time to share a bit about this past weekend and my visit to Jefferson Davis’ retirement home, Beauvoir. I wasn’t sure if I’d head over there on Saturday or Sunday. According to the weather forecast Sunday looked like the better day.
But as it turned out when I went over […]

Top 10 Things I Did in Louisiana

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

I had a great time visiting Erin, aka Sunshine, in Louisiana. She had to work both Friday and Saturday nights so our time together was limited to a few hours in the evening. But I didn’t let that keep me from making the most of my time in Bossier City/Shreveport.
Here is my Top Ten List […]

A Long Drive to See Sunshine

Friday, November 28th, 2008

I made it!
Soon I’ll get to see Sunshine! Sunshine is the nickname I gave to Beth’s girlfriend Erin because Erin has a beautiful smile and personality. She really lights up the room when she walks in it.
I’m in Bossier City, Louisiana sitting in my room at the Super 8 Motel. I drove a […]

Friends Make Thanksgiving Special

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Just a quick post to say “Thank you!” to Franz, Chris, and Mari for letting me crash their Thanksgiving bash!
What started as plans for a quick meeting between Franz and I turned into a day of fun, laughter, and new friends for me.
Here are a few things I was reminded of yesterday:

Steal a few […]

Life is Good! The Internet Works!

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Sometimes it pays to complain. I hate to do it, but sometimes it’s the only way to get satisfaction.
What do I have to complain about? Nothing, really… Except…
The internet connection in my room.
You’ve noticed that I’ve stopped complaining about getting up at 4:30 a.m. I’ve even gotten better about having to wear blues on […]
