This is one of the photographs I made in a very cool park in Coppell that I went to with Rachelle a few Fridays ago.

I realized today that, most people spend more time with something to say ready to escape their lips than they do with the desire to listen to each other and learn.
We all have stories we want to tell. We have things we've accomplished that we're proud of, or situations that are funny or interesting that [...]

My source said that the other guy looks good on paper but "he ain't no Reverend" (substituted with my actual last [...]

Sunday morning we stopped by Fry's Electronics and I picked up a 200GB hard drive and a external USB 2.0 enclosure for backup purposes. I'm not sure that I like the enclosure I got though. It doesn't have any lights or indicators that it's doing anything. And, other than that, has no "features" really. There [...]

Meanwhile, I mowed, edged, and weed whacked our lawn and 2/3rds of the next door neighbor's yard. After getting *most* of the way through it, she came [...]
