Not Your Typical Harvard Commencement Speech

I ran across this commencement speech from Harvard University in 2003 given by commedian Will Ferrell. There were a couple of political stabs in it, but oh well. It’s still too funny to not let you in on it. Gotta go, I’m starting to hear the faint music of "Sweet Home Alabama" playing in the [...]

No Underwear…No Problem

Before I begin: this is indeed a family friendly post. Still though, given the title, I can only guess what kinds of sordid ads Google will choose to display at the bottom of the page. I have no control, so consider yourself forewarned. Even though I get paid a few cents every time you click [...]

Yeshoo are. Yeshoo are.

I got lectured again today by my Wesley’s groomer. But before I tell you why, let me briefly set the scene. I dropped him off at 7:30 this morning to get a haircut and a bath. As soon as I walk in the groomer starts talking to him like he’s a newborn baby:"You sha shweet [...]

Maps, maps, how I love maps

I’m a map junkie, and I’m not afraid to admit it. When I’m not driving, one of my favorite things to do on road trips is to pouring over Mr. Rand McNally. I once spent half an hour looking at the road systems and highways on Montana’s page, just to try to figure how many [...]

Midnight Trucker’s Network

My alarm clock went off at 4:40 this morning so I could be at the gym at 5:00 and back home and showered before Caleb wakes up. It’s my routine on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have no idea what station my alarm clock is set on…some talk radio channel. Normally I turn it off [...]

Life in the Wild Ain’t That Wild Afterall

I’m pretty sure that this weekend was the first time a zebra has stuck his head in my car before…and an ostrich has pecked on my window…and I witnessed a giraffe eating out of a sunroof. Yep, you get all this and more at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, TX. My [...]

Fashion Controversy

Tiffany: What pants are you wearing with that shirt?
Me: My brown ones. You wouldn’t let me wear them all summer because dark brown is a cold weather color. Now it’s late October, so I want to wear them.
Tiffany: Are you trying to start a new fashion trend? Dark brown with a baby blue shirt? [...]

Over and Over Again

...over and over again…over and over again. I think about it over and over again. It’s all in my head, ‘cause they play that song over and over again. They replay it over and over again, and I can’t take it yeah I can’t shake it no more.

I spend most of commute time (about [...]

My golf game

Well my golf game has been elevated a notch, maybe even 2 or 3 notches. So instead of being classified as “terrible”, now I can be classified as just “plain ol’ bad.” A friend of mine named Andrew, who’s dating Tiffany’s close friend Sarah, is a professional golfer, and he comped me a lesson [...]

New Favorite Font

The new font you see on the site is my new favorite font: Trebuchet. I think you pronouce that “Treb-you-shay.” It sounds nice and French. Je parle Francais un peur. Oui Oui Misseur. I think it’s the lower case “g” that really makes the difference in determining a lousy typography from a top notch [...]
