Auburn Basketball vs Vanderbilt in a Tough Loss 82-75
Auburn went back to the conference play today and we went to see the 1:00 pm start in Auburn against Vanderbilt. Perhaps a game Auburn should have won but in the end Auburn came up short. It was all offense on both sides today with no one playing a tight defense. As always Deb and…

Long Ride to Florida and Key West by Motorcycle
It usually gets to be about this time of year when I start dreaming about being some place warmer where the days are not 50-60° and gloomy (yes I know if you live anywhere farther north than the deep south 50 is not cold, but it is to us). One of our favorite spots to…

So today I went to see Defiance the Movie. This was the story about the Bielski partisans a group of Polish Jews that came together for common protection and to oppose the German occupation of their homeland. I won’t give the story line away here in this post but it reminds me that those in…

Here I Am Lord… Now Send Somebody Else
I love the title to this book, it is so accurate to the way I think sometimes. I want to dive in head first in the deep end from the 50 meter platform and forget that once you get to the bottom, you actually have to swim back up to the surface to breathe. It…

Closeup Snowflake Photo on a Frosted Window
I started off today with a beautiful creation by our Creator that I am not all that thrilled to see when I get up. 20* Frost. I took this photo this morning when I went out to get in my truck. We live in the deep south and I like to think that our winter…

Us Lefties are Doomed Once Again :: Quips
Deb loves to point out all the niceties about living with a south paw (and there are many). She clipped this graph out of the USA Today more than 10 years ago and I just found it going through some of my old photos this past weekend. Once again I am shown what a right…

Auburn Tigers vs Alabama Basketball Wins 85-71 :: Photos
What a great game Auburn played today. It was a total domination by Auburn and Alabama never really got going at all. Where was this team when they played the Florida Gators last week? They hit 3-pointers, free throws, played a great defense and actually stepped it up on offense. Mark Gottfried (see photo below)…

Dave Ramsey :: Life is Not a Snapshot, It’s a Movie
Back in October 2008 I had the great privilege of being able to attend an event where Dave Ramsey was speaking. I had a chance to shake his hand and take some photos of Dave speaking but most of all I was able to hear what he had to say and apply it to my…

Consume More, Creating is Like Paying Taxes
You may be thinking you don’t create anything but I wanted to know, do we pay attention to the difference between when we consume something and create something? I listened to an album by Chris Tomlin this morning on the way to work, but I didn’t create an album. I also consumed a message by…

iTunes Plus and DRM Free Music is a Great Thing
I did something last night I have not ever done in all my music and digital life. Download a full length (well EP) album from the iTunes store (Prospekt’s March). You may be saying, who cares, but last week Apple dramatically changed the way their music is handled on their iTunes platform by finally offering…
