I have been trying to figure out how to get this 90-day deal written and not posting here in the meanwhile. Something came up this morning that changed all of that so I will post a link to a complete PDF of the commentary when finished. Here is what is important: Just watch it. I [...]

Susan gave me an iPod for Christmas. It was a total surprise and a great gift. At first, I didn’t think it was a gift for me. However, as usual, she listens to me better than I hear myself. For some time, I have been downloading sermons from SermonAudio.com. I have transferred some of them [...]

Playing a bit of catch-up…here are photos of this year’s Christmas Parade here in Graham, NC. This year’s parade had over 200 entries. Most are very nice. The high school marching bands and the floats are great. But the business stuff…including all of the tacky “sponsored by” signs on the floats are, well…tacky. What a [...]

The big news at our house this year was that Miriam married Dan Vines on September 2nd. Our thanks to many of you who made the trip from near and far to celebrate that day with them. Dan is the Assistant Manager for Gamestop in Randleman and Miriam is Staff Assistant for “Duke in New [...]
When we were vacationing at Holden Beach earlier this month, a grackle hung out on the deck rail each day, screaming at the top of his little lungs. I caught him mid-scream: One day while Cristin and I were shooting (possibly to escape the grackle’s hollering), I got this geometric view under the pier: I [...]
That’s a N-Y-S-U-N… Leslie, my “twin,” warming up for a 2-hour walk with Susan at the beach
This is the second year we have tried to go parasailing. Last year we scheduled a trip from Holden Beach, NC, only to have NC Watersports call that morning and said they had mechanical problems with the boat. They wanted to reschedule us for later in the week—Saturday afternoon, the morning of which we were [...]
This will be an ongoing post since the shots each day from the same location will be turned into slideshow at the end of the vacation. Susan and I are at Holden Beach with Cristin, Miriam, Dan, Leslie, and Barbie—but not with Baba. He’s with Ty-Ty. While driving to the beach, we stopped for lunch [...]
Not to be confused with Veterans’ Day—when we remember our still-living veterans as well as those who have died, Memorial Day is for remembering those veterans who fell in battle. “These honored dead” were originally remembered on Decoration Day when the nation remembered those who had fallen in the Civil War by decorating their graves [...]
I guess it’s appropriate that we’re going to Ohio today to bring my mother-in-law to North Carolina…to live. Thanks to Milford who loaned us his trailer, and Steve, who fixed the ground wire in my truck’s connections, we’re ready to roll (except that I’m still so whooped from cutting the grass yesterday…sometimes it just saps [...]
