I love the mountain time zone. Woke up at 7.45ish and felt great. So I didn’t feel like a complete hack for sleeping late!! We unpacked and went to Beau Joe’s. The best pizza place in the world and Parker has one and it had a buffet today. Woo-hoo!!! Oh, I almost forgot. This was read more
We head west…very west for a very long time today. KC to Parker – the I-70 nightmare drive. That’s a good thing. Lot’s to think about. Starting a student ministry over. The excitement of new friends, new volunteers, new students, new laughs, new stories, new tears. The fun hard work of relationally investing to the read more
Can anyone really legitamately be upset at Jeremy Shockey’s comments? He said – “We got outplayed AND outcoached.” It is the ultimate team insult…and accurate. For Tom Coughlin to come out and critique that is…two-faced. From Tom Coughlin: “Our game plan was solid, we just didn’t execute it.” Translation: “It was the stupid player’s fault read more
Since May – here are the states I’ve visited: That’s pretty stinkin’ cool. No wonder I’m tired.
My mom gave us this painting tonight that is absolutely going to be the English family motto from now on. It reads: In this home: We do second chances. We do grace. We do real. We do mistakes. We do I’m sorrys. We do loud really well. We do hugs. We do family. We do read more
Ahhhh, the joys of not updating for awhile! Alright….let’s take a quick trip down memory lane. We start with… Alabama vs. Arkansas, Saturday Bruce and I rode up, grabbed some great grub with Jason and Cindy-Lou’s fam, then watched my Tide march up and down the field. Of course, I had more point to make read more
Pinecrest has really stepped up huge in the last couple of days. We’ve gotten cards, emails, and now a house. Get this – a couple who has never met us is giving us their house until the end of December if we need it. RENT FREE. How freakin’ cool is that? Never met us…that might read more
Paul has been giving me grief about this so I finally just sat down and finished it. My contact page. It’s nothing fancy but it’s functionable. So if you are a lurker and can’t stand to leave a comment but want to contact me…or you want to buy a house in Little Rock…drop me a read more
Figured I’d post on something other than death and football…extremes can make you sick, right? Sometime over the last couple of weeks, somebody asked me about anonymous comments and why I don’t allow them on my site. I mean, I seem to be a guy that is all for open dialogue so why not allow read more
I found out that one of our former students in Emporia was killed in an ATV accident this week. I’ve lost it completely a couple times since hearing the news – it just grieves my heart to the core. Sam was a fun kid – even when he got in trouble, you liked him. And read more
Concerning this post… The reference is supposed to be Pat Robertson, the PTL/700 Club. The joys of blogging the way I do – going back and spelling things correctly…
San Diego has destroyed two very bad football teams (Oakland, Tennessee). That is exactly what Denver HAS NOT done (St. Louis, Kansas City). Rex Grossman (Bears) looks like he learned the game of football in the off-season. Will anyone score on the Bears all year? Green Bay (and the beloved Favre) look…tired. The Saints are read more
The last post got me thinking…what are some other ‘rivalries’ that mean more to one team than the other…ala salad at a BBQ. The salad teams are in bold. Clemson vs. Florida State – until this year, I doubt a FSU fan could tell you where Clemson was. Texas A&M vs. Baylor – I don’t read more
If you follow this blog, then you’ve probably run across the comments by Clay or other random Hog fans on this site. Here’s the latest and the context. You will note that nothing was said about Arkansas, Matt Jones, or the in-breeding practices of Arkansans in that post. Only that the MNF matchup between the read more
We are back in the Rock. Last night we punted the horrible MNF game (somebody just shoot Kornheiser and Theismann for me) and instead watched Studio 60, new series on NBC with Matthew Perry and Amanda Peete. It was actually very good. Perry kept his sarcastic “Friends” edge but added something else…depth. I’ll watch it read more
By division… AFC East None of these teams are impressive. New England looks tired but still dangerous. Miami has everything it needs for a playoff except a quarterback. Culpepper’s knee is fine, his head is still the issue. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets…how can anyone question Chad Pennington anymore? They’ll be fine as long as the read more
We are on the road this weekend so blogging will be down. Next week – back in action on more meaningful stuff…like the AFC side of things, the Sequioa, the openness of God…you know, light stuff.
After three days at Disney, I am amazed at how many different kinds of characters they come up with. Here’s the kids at Epcot. I’ll post MGM pictures later today.
My Thoughts after Week 1 by Division. NFC North Are the Bears that good or Green Bay that bad? Favre just looks…tired. And the Pack will be lucky to win 4 games this year. Lions will be mediocre, just like all other Detriot teams but without Barry Sanders. The Vikings will be the league’s most read more
1. Lego Star Wars II. If you have kids, an Xbox, hate playing kid games with your kids and want something fun…this is it. 2. John Mayer new CD – Continum. Aweseom. As usual. Has he had a bad SONG yet? 3. Nice romantic dinner with the wife. 4. Java Chip Frap for dessert. 5. read more
Since we have free baby-sitting – me and the wife are going to do a nice dinner tonight. However – we are scrambling for something to do tomorrow night as the in-laws are having their small group at the house and we need to vacate a couple of hours. Ideas?
As late as last week, I said I’d love to see Jake play well this year and then Jay compete next year for the starting QB position. As of 4:11 ET on September 10, 2006 that opinion has officially changed. Start the Cutler watch as far as I’m concerned. 3 Picks. 1 Fumble. 138 yards read more
Perfect day at Magic Kingdom. We waited in line once for 15 minutes. That was it. The rest was walk up, get on, decide how you were going to spend the 4 hours of time you normally spend in line. We had done it all by 5 pm and were wondering if the kids were read more
I have gotten 37 emails from Rob explaining why we should have another blog party next week. I think the Canadian air has him goofy. BUT…turns out Amy and I are going to be around next week so let’s do it again!!!!! Next Tuesday night? 6 pm? I don’t know where…we could try something different read more
Here’s Jerry’s take on the evening – he probably edited that about 15 times. Virginia’s is here. We provided quite a scene at Harry’s. Waitress couldn’t take our order we were so busy talking and laughing. She said “Obviously you guys haven’t seen each other in a long time so I don’t want to rush read more
Today: 1. Try to finish my first season on NFL Head Coach. Currently 13-0 with the Broncos. (Reggie Bush & Jay Cutler. Reggie is a freaking beast in this game.) 2. Get car out of shop. (Yeah…don’t get me started.) 3. Blog Party at High Tide Harry’s Tomorrow: 1. Shuttle Launch 2. Ron Jon’s Surf read more
because according to Wayne, I don’t love my daughter. Nice work, Wayne. It’s okay for you to go to a hookah bar but not me wanting to celebrate a birthday a day early. Anyway – here are pics of the festivities. This of course was right before the complete Medusa Meltdown happened. It was a read more
***NEWSFLASH*** Some crack reporting (or reporting on crack – hard to tell these days) has revealed that both Your Mama and Beach Bums are completely unoriginal. Therefore they will demoted to 12 and 11 respectively. Everyone else, enjoy your move up the chart. Of course there is a part of me that is going – read more
Got one of these yet? ht to says-it.com.
I think the Pac-10 is overrated. I think Tennessee isn’t as great as they looked on Saturday, but they are definitely on the way back to where they were. I think Auburn is underrated. They are going to absolutely destroy teams this year…including my beloved Alabama. I think Arkansas might as well start all those read more
Hey gang – wanna shoot for 6 pm at High Tide Harry’s? Do we need reservations? I’m amped.
