The Cryptic
I must admit, this Facebook User is the one that irritates me the most.  The Cryptic loves posting updates that nobody has [...]

This is Part 4 in a series called Facebook Users.  You can read Parts 1-3 here:
Part 1 - The Detailer
Part 2 - The Feeler
Part 3 - The Joiner
The Gamer
These people are hard core (aka freaks).  They devote hours of time honing their skills and climbing the fame game ladder.  When I first started Facebooking, I [...]

This is Part 3 in a series called Facebook Users.  You can read Parts 1-2 here:
Part 1 - The Detailer
Part 2 - The Feeler
The Joiner
This Facebook User is often seen joining groups. They are just suckers for cool groups. I think they actually mean well. But I still have to chuckle at most of [...]

This is Part 2 in a series called Facebook Users.  You can read Part 1 here:
Part 1 - The Detailer
Facebook Users: Part 2 - The Feeler
This is the person that wants everybody to know how they feel, but usually doesn’t explain why.  The Feeler posts updates such as “Michael is tired”, “Sally is angry”, “Charlie [...]

I recently had a discussion with a couple close friends about how each of us use Facebook differently, very differently.  We ragged on each other, and then the conversation evolved to all the many different ways other people use Facebook, including all the irritating ones.  I thought it would be fun (and funny) to try [...]

I always thought Fonzi was so cool, especially with how he could just bang things with his fist and turn on lights or juke boxes, or break tables, or unlock things.  But I was wondering… if the Fonz lived in our day, how would he manage dealing with computers.  Can you imagine the Fonz updating [...]

Have you ever thought about the most historically important video footage ever?  What is it?  I’ve been trying to think of a few that may be at the top.  But I know I’m missing a bunch.  Maybe Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963.  Nixon’s resignation in 1974.  Lou Gehrig’s Farewell speech [...]

Who do you think has more experience on dieting?  A skinny guy or a fat guy?  OK, but let’s not kid ourselves - experience does not equal mastery, right?  Kind of like the guy that has a LOT of experience with the 5th grade.  It doesn’t exactly make him a 5th grade genius.  But I’ll [...]

I recently found out that it’s a felony in the state of Illinois to “threaten or accost an Umpire in a youth sports game.”  That’s great!  I know they are not the only state to do this, but I’m not sure if Texas is one of them.  That got me to thinking… so I came [...]

We don’t go to Ryan’s very often, but when we do, strange things seem to happen.  If you are not familiar with what happened during one of our last visits, read “The Cone on the Throne“.  Jaxon and I decided to go, because it’s one of his favorite places.  When we walk in, the first [...]

I hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas.  I thought I’d take this opportunity to share a couple Christmas related notes.  First is a conversation I had on Tuesday with my son, Jaxon.  We were together and my brother-in-law, Mark, called to ask if I had any suggestions about what Jaxon would like for Christmas.  [...]

Gramm, our 9-month old, had some turkey today. You would never have known it was turkey by looking at it, or probably tasting it either. Here’s a short clip showing what he thought about eating turkey on his first ever Thanksgiving.

This email discussion between a chiropractor’s office and one of their clients is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.

Here’s a video clip Beth took at Jaxon’s most recent TaeKwon-Do class. They were bandanna sparring, which is where they have a bandanna tucked into their belt behind them, and they try to grab the other person’s bandanna. It’s pretty funny. You can tell Jaxon just loves this stuff. The kid [...]

I created a couple of caricatures from one of the on-line sites for both Beth and me.  You can choose from a bunch of different features to create the most accurate caricatures possible.  I think both of these are pretty good representations.  It was fun.  As you can see, I married way over my head.

Jaxon began taking TaeKwon-Do this week.  He’s only been to two classes, but so far he loves it.  Here’s a few pictures of the class.  Some are not so clear becuase I’m taking them indoors with a moving subject.  You can click on the pictures to enlarge them.  The first one is when they were [...]

OK, imagine you are watching a stand-up comic and he gives the old line, “My friend is soooo worthless…”  And of course the crowd responds in their monotone shout, “HOW - WORTH-LESS - IS - HE?”  And then the comic comes back with something like, “My friend is so worthless, he has to pay his [...]

You might find it hard to believe, but I do have more in common with Tony Romo than just good looks, mad skills, and having to deal with man crushes and chicks digging me.  We have both recently broken the pinky finger on our throwing hands.  This is very problematic for both of us, considering [...]

Jaxon, my 5 year old, wore out his old bicycle, so we went to the bike store last weekend to look for him a new bike.  I tried to get him to get this one, setting out in front of the store, but he wasn’t too keen on it.  So we went inside to see [...]

I’ve never done this before, and it probably won’t be the last time, but here’s a link to a post in another blog that I’ve found to be very entertaining.  For those of you that have spent many years in church, I think you will too.  The blog is titled, “Stuff Christians Like”.  I’ve also [...]
