Now and Then

I rolled over in bed and squinted at the red glow that was my alarm clock: 10:12AM. Ugh. I don’t want to, but I get up anyway, rubbing my eyes and thinking I really need to lower the temps on the thermostat so the air conditioner will run even cooler during the night. I go…

He’s a real Off-Season Man, Living in His Off-Season Land…

Making all my off-season plans, for noooobody… I have to love the look on people’s faces when I talk about taking a vacation in the middle of February.

Not enough time!!!!!111eleventy!

Vegas was such a whirlwind of an experience I’ll have to leaving blogging about it on the backburner for now, at least until I have a chance to recuperate in Tennessee. It was from Vegas to Little Rock and then Crossett, Arkansas, where I spent one more dinner with my friend and his awesome family….
