Mr. Wentworth came over to Boone this weekend. So it turned out to be a pretty good weekend. I took some pictures to remember the events that Bill’s presence triggered. First of all, I have completed the next picture to be hung in Salon 908. Below is a picture of… Read More »The Past Weekend
Some Signs of Spring
Here are some signs of spring: I took these pictures this morning on my way to the garage to go to work.
Invisible Children
I went to the Union last night to check out this documentary. It is about the night commuters of Uganda. I first heard of this tragedy when Third Day played a video about these children at their concert I attended last February. Children fllee their homes at night and congregate… Read More »Invisible Children
I Liked This Joke Too . . .
A couple had two little boys, ages eight and ten, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be confident that if any mischief occurred in their town, their two young sons were involved in some capacity. The parents were at their wit’s… Read More »I Liked This Joke Too . . .
A Morality Tale – Well That is a Bit of a Reach
So I subscribe to the Comedy Central Joke of the Day. It is a wretchedly run service that often repeats the same joke up to 5 days in a row on occasion. Even when they send out a new joke it often isn’t funny. This is the joke of the… Read More »A Morality Tale – Well That is a Bit of a Reach

Reflection on the Last Few Days (Part II)
All false male bravura aside, the ride home from work today SUCKED!!! I can’t emphasize this point nearly enough. You could underline that word about 4 more times and the point still wouldn’t quite be made. I think visibility at times was a negative number. My sister asked me how… Read More »Reflection on the Last Few Days (Part II)
Reflections on the Last Few Days (Part I)
I may have alluded to having a pretty great weekend in an earlier blog.
