It just passes right through…the story, not the beer…well yeah the beer too.

It burrrth on Wednesday
Camera battery fully charged for the Canon.
Fistful of AA’s ready for the Nikon snap shooter.
Memory chips still have plenty of room for pics.
Long johns and flannel lined pants ready.
Warm socks…eeewww boy, I think I know where they are.
Scarf, gloves, cap – yeah, yeah, yeah
Pre-cooked spicy breakfast sausage on Sunday, ready to zap!
Coffee beans ready to grind…fresh carton of Half-n-half…hey, and travel mug is washed instead of rinsed for a change Continue reading “It burrrth on Wednesday”
Sometimes I really struggle with reasoning for most stoplights being on 4-lane divided rural highways in Texas Continue reading
The commercials and their game
So many times before, the Super Bowl commercials have out-played the teams at the NFL’s biggest event. I heard a statistic last week, from a media source I can no longer remember, that more than half the television viewers of the Super Bowl watch primarily to see the commercials. Now I sit down each year to watch the game, and will admit, many games have caused me to get refills, food, and frequent the commode during football play and be back in my seat in time for the commercials.
This year we were treated with a good game of football and commercials some are saying were lame. I say “hold onto your wallet that’s Jerry Jones walking by”. Wanna know my votes? Continue reading “The commercials and their game”
Now that’s good history
Today, February 6, 2011
…the Super Bowl is in Dallas, less the Cowboys of course,
…Bill O’Reily interviewed President Obama in the White House,
…I took yet another sunrise picture
And on this day,
Chirping
Something’s up.
We get a warm day for a change, the snow and ice pretty much melts away, reportedly some silly football game is about to be played soon in God’s Stadium (with the roof window closed I might add – you know who is gonna be mmmmaaaadddd!).
What’s got all the birds around here frisky, singing, and carrying on today?
Maybe the Groundhog told them about the coming of an early spring.
EIR: A Funeral of Which I’m Late For
This EIR (Email Inspiration Received) came from Deb. Some of you may have gotten it from her as well. It’s kind of a Sandra Bullock story, but ya know sometimes we need to just slow down and stop trying to look around whatever (whoever) is right in front of our face…by golly, let Sandra kiss us if that’s what she wants to do.
THE WRONG FUNERAL
God doesn’t make mistakes. He puts us where He wishes us to be. They say there are no mistakes, for everything there is a purpose. Makes you think….
Enjoy! We’ll never know where our paths will take us!
The Day the Music Died
In an Iowa corn field 52 years ago today, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, The Big Bopper, and pilot Roger Peterson died in a tragic plane crash. Spared that night was Waylon Jennings who surrendered his seat to The Big Bopper, and backup musician Tommy Allsup by losing a coin flip with Valens for the other plane seat (In 1979, Allsup opened a Fort Worth nightclub called “Tommy’s Heads Up Saloon” as a tribute to his luck that night). It truly was a fateful night.
R.I.P. gentlemen – you’re music lives on, as Don McLean celebrates with his much interpreted/misinterpreted “American Pie”….
Punxy Phil
It’s Groundhog Dog! Show’s over however.
In case you missed it…Punxsutawny Phil did not see his shadow, meaning our dreadful winter is about over, if you believe in the legend. I, for one, was ready for a cloudy day.
Ya know groundhogs are actually woodchucks – “Hey you dang woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!” (funny commercial). They’re also kin to the squirrel, so that means they dig and climb, and can even go for a swim if the need arises.
A snow day for most
Today it was cold, cold, cold, cold, cooooollllddddd for north Texas. It started with thunder-n-lightning rain about 3:30 this morning, then that turned to sleet about 4:30, and the wind chill was around 0°. Perfect weather for Mackie, Queen of Scots – she suggested we make the best of the day since there was no way the boss man was driving to Fort Worth today (and maybe tomorrow): Continue reading “A snow day for most”
Zoey, the Heir-Apparent
My apologies for the repeat, but I just had to give this first photo of Zoey its own billing. I had buried it in my “Aldo” post a couple of days ago because of the emotion in the stare and the content of the text I placed it in (stop me before I try to be creative again).
Thump 1-30-2011
Personal notes from a Sunday morning at Denton Bible Church:
Music:
- Everlasting God
- My Tribute
- Forever Reign
- Amazing Grace/Chains Are Gone (benediction)
Text Reading: Ephesian 2: 8-10 – there is not a gospel presentation that doesn’t have this verse or the essence of it in it; like John 3:16, Romans 5:8, Romans 6:23, Revelations 3:20…you just know this text. Continue reading “Thump 1-30-2011”
Aldo had it all together
Clear skies, 70°, and no sound of the neighbor’s lawn mower puts one’s butt in a patio chair in the back yard, dogs at your feet, a donned hat to shade the eyes (or protect the bald noggin), and you’ve blown the dust off a fine book worthy of an unseasonably warm January day read. Not too many books out there that fits that bill – maybe only one other… Continue reading “Aldo had it all together”
Ahhhh, Garrison

Pie in/on the face holiday(s)
Yes, I have pie on my face…for a couple reasons.
One, I failed to mention this past Sunday was National Pie Day. I like pie! Every January 23rd, the American Pie Council celebrates the heritage and tradition of pies. Any of you know…all the amateur pie bakers out there can join the APC for a mere $30-$40 membership fee (not sure what all you get for that…maybe a pie tin or something?) Or maybe just more pie recipes: Recipes for a belated celebration Continue reading “Pie in/on the face holiday(s)”
Where have all the basketballs gone?
Long time (not) passing…or assists…or scoring…or team play.
Please know, I show you this with an admittedly sour attitude (no kidding!) after watching a woefully played basketball game between my beloved (KSU) Wildcats and the Baylor Bears last night. It was a game where fouls were as abundant as turnovers and charging calls…What is it that seniors cannot figure out when to “Pull-en” up for the shot or “Pull-en” it out and set a play. Geezz! Continue reading “Where have all the basketballs gone?”
So Long Jack
Sad news came over the weekend: the life juices for Jack LaLanne stopped flowing on Saturday. He was 96. Fitness and non-fitness folks alike lost a true champion. He was a pioneer in fitness from the 1960’s, and was still going “strong” until his death.
Yell, Yell, Yellow Yellowstone
According to a National Geographic, Yellowstone has an upset tummy. That’s all we need – a political climate in chaos, an economy that continues to stink up the place, and now a rebellious park with a tempermental disposition. And here I was all worried about global warming. Continue reading “Yell, Yell, Yellow Yellowstone”
Edgar
Those of you that follow my blog (or Facebook postings) may have read that Wednesday, January 19th, was Edgar Alan Poe’s 202nd birthday. I slathered y’all with an Edgar quote: “I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”. I couldn’t help but chuckle over that, but like I habitually do, wanted to take it a step further.
