It was brought to my attention this evening that my blog was down.  Actually I knew it for a couple days because my browser defaults to this page.  Since we have had other priorities with working on the house, the web site took a back seat.  It was an easy fix and only had a [...]

This blog has been therapy for me for many years when things are bothering me.  Unfortunately with all sorts of stress from home and work, I have not really felt like arguing with people on politics or differences of opinions.  Sometimes a person wants to think happy thoughts and not sit around arguing politics.  Let’s [...]

This morning I was just getting around at 8:00 AM when I began to feel a rumble followed by a strong boom.  The television hanging on the wall shook visibly and it sort of startled me.  My first reaction was that someone at my neighbor’s house knocked over something very large and it hit my [...]

I can get use to these long weekends.  Today is a holiday and Friday I took off work making this a four day weekend.  It is  hard to go back to work after being off for several days off.  My class actually begins tomorrow so next weekend I will have to get busy with my [...]

Today marks the end of our long Holiday weekend and months.  We, just like most have been in sort of a holiday mode since Thanksgiving back in November.  I have been off work for the last five days celebrating the New Year holiday and tomorrow it is back to work.  Back to a normal schedule.  [...]

As the weekend and year comes to a close I find myself sick with a cold for only the second time in 2008.  It is ironic that after the sickly year of 2007 where I was off work sick all the time I have only missed two days of work for being sick this entire [...]

I had another business trip to San Antonio this week so I have been busy down here.  I finished up early so I will be heading home tomorrow.  We just returned from the Riverwalk area downtown.  I took nearly 300 pictures while being here.  It was a bit warm waiting for the buses so I [...]

At work we were given several tests to evaluate our personality so we will know how to approach coworkers.  These tests were very long and asked questions how you would answer them.  This test was the Meyers & Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).  I must say after getting my results that I completely agree with mine.  [...]

I went ahead and re-opened my Facebook account as it gives me more control over the content unlike Friendfeed.  I left all the other social networking sites closed.  Of all  the sites that I really do love to use, I would say Flickr, Twitter, and Facebook.   The rain is moving back in today and I [...]
