In My So Called Life, Now That's Crazy, Oxford
I live in Oxford, Mississippi. And there are lots of things to be proud of if you live here. Especially if you are an Ole Miss fan. But even if you’re not (cough cough) it’s still a pretty cool place. But no place is perfect.
But one of the things I can’t understand is the gas [...]

In Family, My So Called Life
So after a week of not writing anything, lots has happened.
On Tuesday I get a call from what I think are middle eastern guys about my Tahoe. They want to drive 3 hours from Gasden, AL to see it. So they make it the next morning to Oxford. I meet them at the Office Depot [...]

First pic is the lineup of shots.
Second is Mom taking the first shot to show how it’s done. No tears!
Third is my oldest. I expected her to cry. But her face screwed up tightly, but no tears came. Big Girl!
Fourth is the after-shot of my middle one. I couldn’t take an action shot because she [...]

In My So Called Life
My third child, my son, seems more laid back than my first two kids. Both girls.
I don’t know what factors are in play. Is it because he is #3? Because he is a boy? Have our parenting methods changed in the last few years? Or is it just his personality? Either way, this is what [...]

In My So Called Life, Travel
I’m reading a book right now that is centered around an elite boarding school in the Northeast. From my knowledge (that is all from pop culture) it seems stereotypical. Mostly wealthy kids. Lots of sweaters, khaki pants/skirts, uniforms, lots of sports that are different from the South (squash, crew, field hockey, lacrosse, etc.), rebellion, lots [...]

In My So Called Life, The Orchard
This NFL season we at The Orchard here in Oxford decided to form a Fantasy Football League. The draft was lots of fun and the first week was surprising. Here’s a picture of part of the first weeks standings.
Now the thing is, both of those guys, the top two ranked teams, are the PASTORS of [...]

Right now I’m in High Point Coffee near the square. Doing some reading. Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claibourne. It’s not that crowded in here. But the people who have a computer out, 3 of the 4 are Macbooks. Impressive. Strong wifi signal from someone’s Belkin router too.
On the tv is silent but showing news about [...]

In Church, My So Called Life
Last year a friend went to a conference in Granger, Indiana. Yeah, Granger. Never heard of it?
Anyhow, It was called Innovate and was at Granger Community Church. I’d kept up with the church for a little while because I read the blogs of some of the staff members. It’s a great church. Very creative. Very [...]

All Along The Watch Tower by Dave Matthews Band

I caught the bug first from Pat. But I spent too much time it last night. But it was worth it. Wonder what you would look like if you grew up in a different era? Yearbook Yourself!
Many more of friends here and here (if you are on facebook)

I’ve not been to a ton of concerts. More than some, but lots less than some of my friends. But I can say that a David Crowder Band concert is amazing to attend. He’s such a showman. He knows how to entertain. But he also knows how to bring you into the presence of the [...]

It seems they might try to sometimes. I don’t really know if it’s true or not. You could tell me they come in 2’s or 5’s and I could make it fit just as well most of the time.
But on the old (not ole, but old) iBook G4 I usually use the dc-in board had [...]
