Personal
Cannot fill in the blanks.
I have had a cold trying to get me all week and have had no thoughts other than “When will this thing go away?” So there are a bunch of daily quotes without thoughts to fill them in. I’m going to have to let them stay that way and not look at it as failure.…
Read the Full PostWhy I have Quotes on my Blog
I have daily quotes from other people on my site. The secret is that they’re scheduled ahead of time. Every couple of weeks, I spend a little time searching out interesting, funny, poignant quotes to put here. I schedule them in WordPress to appear every morning at 5:00am. This isn’t laziness on my part, or…
Read the Full PostYesterday Was A Weird Day
Yesterday was one of those weird ones where a confluence of the absurd should have caused me great distress, but was so improbable and ridiculous as to make me laugh at it all instead. It started first thing as Sheri gave me new bottle of hair conditioner that she won’t be using. I just used…

Previous installment: Moving to Vegas: Vistas Williams, Arizona is only about a 3.5-hour drive to Las Vegas. Knowing this, Dad and I were in no hurry to get going on this last day of our journey. We slept in a little late and went to the Denny’s next door to the hotel for breakfast. The…

Previous Installment: Moving to Vegas: So long, Texas We were now in New Mexico, a place Dad and I had never been to before. We both grew up and have mainly existed on the East Coast.

Previous Installment: Moving to Vegas: Waiting for Lunch Well as nice as Texas had been, it was nice to see another state. Hello New Mexico! I felt like we had now made real progress. So far the journey was going extremely well, especially since we had two alpha-males in the truck. Not only were Dad…

Previous Installment: Moving to Vegas: More Driving On the road and hungry, Dad and I, adhering to the “local flavor if possible” rule of the road, had stopped at the only place for miles around. It was surprisingly bright and clean, but the owner serving us was a bit relaxed in her approach to service.…

Previous Installment: Moving to Vegas: The Search for Rest It was day 2 on the road from Orlando to Las Vegas. We had made excellent time on day one despite some rain. Day 2 looked like it was going to turn into another fine day of driving with Dad. I figured since this was my…

Previous Installment: Moving to Vegas: The Drive Begins The first day of driving was nearly over, but we still had miles to go before we could rest. It was at this gas station that I discovered one really huge annoyance of $2.60 diesel fuel and 35-gallon fill-ups beyond the simple math of paying nearly $100…

Previous Installment: Moving to Vegas: Getting out of Orlando I started the day by checking my cell phone voice mail and was relieved that Sheri and Pepper had arrived safely in Las Vegas and were already as settled in the new house as they could be with no furniture. Remember how Pepper had received half…

Previous Installment: Moving to Vegas: Packing It was moving day. So far the mover had hit on my wife, left without us really having everything packed and put on the truck, and time was running out to get Sheri and Pepper to the airport for their flight to our new home in Vegas. And as time…
