I Still Do

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

A decade ago this evening at about ten minutes after seven o’clock, I said, “I will.”

I still do.

Luv you, Dearest.

Obligation

My inconsistency has no bearing on your obligation.

Arden, Hannah, Whatever

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Our two-year-old has finally begun to talk and build a vocabulary. Folks who know about this kind of thing tell me that the American English R is one of the most difficult sounds for kids to learn to enunciate.

As you can imagine then, Whitby has a difficult time pronouncing his older sister’s name, Arden. So he pronounces it “Hannah.” A natural and logical approximation, I’m sure you’ll agree.

A Good Thing

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord. —Proverbs 18:22 (NKJV)

Hmm. Never says that about husbands. Coincidence?

Good Night

You have, for the last time, heard him say, with that trademark crack of a chuckle in his voice, “Paul Harvey … Good day!”

Best Family Ever

Friday, May 30th, 2008

My condolences go out to all of our competitors.  I’m sure there were several in the running, but I’m afraid the contest is closed.  In fact, I didn’t even know there was a contest until my three-year-old daughter proclaimed to my wife and me, “We’re the best family ever!”

I’d like to thank the Academy, Mom & Dad, my wife, …

Happy New Year 2008

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Here’s to a happy new year to you, and a more blogful new year to me!

Hello and welcome.

After years of thinking about it, I have finally put up a blog. I kept thinking I would come up with a site design and customize a WordPress theme to fit that design, but I never got around to doing the design. I ultimately decided that, if I would ever get this ball rolling, I would have to set up the blog first and do the design later.
