?Twas the day after Christmas: they suddenly knew all their friends and their neighbors hadn?t a clue that the big New Year?s bash had been moved to their church (since their not being home to clean left them in a lurch). They were in Boston, snug in sis-in-law?s bed, but visions of chili danced through …

Happy Birthday, Mom!
Happy Birthday, Mom! Today is a somewhat momentous day on my mother’s side of the family. My mom turns 58 today, the same age my granddad was when he passed away after a heart attack. As it turns out, one of my mom’s brothers has been feeling some of the same “uh-oh” symptoms lately. Sigh. …
Site update
Site update Greetings! Thanks to the miracle of RSS (Really Simple Syndication), I’m now able to provide some relatively up-to-date headlines of things that interest me somewhat.

Brief background: Laureen and I and some friends attended the 2003 Christmas Celebration at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano. …
Prestonwood: a mega building
Prestonwood: the mega experience Well, last night we went to Prestonwood Baptist Church to see their 2003 Dallas Christmas celebration. I am a mixed bag of feelings on the entire event, mostly because I have reservations about mega-churches. Let’s put it this way: rougly 1,000 volunteers contributed time and effort to this. There was a …
Some things I miss
Some things I miss I truly miss grocery delivery service. Peapod, Groceryworks, et alia were great services, at least for me. I don’t know why, but I just hate going into grocery stores. Even with the most recent trend of new upscale stores like Central Market or Rice Epicurean down in Houston, there still are …
What’s in a name
What’s in a name So, the process of trying to pick a name for our child is rapidly winding down. Laureen and I were trying to determine name histories in our family. She was named for her father (Lawrence). I wasn’t really named after anyone, except for my middle name. We’ve decided on the following: …
