Tis a difficult thing to stand alone
Amongst your friends and loved ones dear
In principle, Ideals and fear
Tis a difficult thing to stand alone
Passion is valiant trait
And conviction be a Heavenly gift
For they drum the beat
And fuel heart’s heat
But can set the driven soul adrift
On a sea at odds with those that make me whole
Whose own [...]

Sometime around mid-afternoon this past Friday, we crossed a magic line.  No body knows exactly where that boundary exists, but it’s Northwest of Junction, Texas and intersects several small highways that crisscross the Western portion of the great state.  Once you pass that mystical latitude, it becomes obvious that you are in a different place.  [...]

Huge stack of mail and papers that accumulated on the desk

Today was not nearly as exciting.  (I had to do something to all you all to recover from yesturday).  I’m not even quite sure if I can call today successful.  I took some stuff with me to work to sell via an email list we have at the office.  So, I got it out of [...]

I upgraded to the lastest version of Wordpress tonight.  I also added a new theme.    The upgrade gave me some cool features like the ability to “auto” install plug-ins and such.  I really like the new theme and this one allows me to use widgits.   They are turning out to be very useful.  Here are [...]

I have too much stuff plain and simple.  Crap I don’t use, clothes I don’t wear and junk that I should throw way but haven’t for some reason beyond me.  I’m going to try and impact that a little bit by getting rid of something every day for the next 30 days.  Yeah, I know [...]
