Reasons To Write or Not to Write
So this is the typical blog away from blog post that seems to grace the pages of almost every blog I have ever read. For the first time in the 10-15 years I have been writing on my blog, I took a year off. Though I did stop writing here for a while, I never…

What a Beautiful Game
Being a baseball fan in the biggest football powerhouse town Imagine if any other collegiate sport played 35 home games, 56 regular season games? Or if any other major professional sports league played 162 regular season games, decided not to keep time on the field, and the person with the ball never scored? Baseball is…

A Non-Chemistry Auburn Basketball Season
It’s been a lonely season of empty seats and shattered basketball hopes at this point. Deb and I love going to the basketball games, but it would be nice if just one season we could actually improve. This year is no different, they seem to have no chemistry, no cohesion, and few wins, though I…

iPhoneography and Auburn SEC Conference Play
Last night Auburn started their SEC conference play. This is always a favorite sports season of the year for us, so I started off with a little iPhoneography art of Auburn Arena. Something I love about my iPhone is how it gives me the ability to move beyond formal photography and put my own artistic…

Auburn Tigers Football A-Day Game Photos For 2012
Today was the annual crazy-day game where we play ourselves, called the Auburn A-Day Game. Of course just about every school has a spring game where the offense plays the defense, it just seems to get bigger and bigger as the years go by. Today we had over 43,427 people at this game where we…

Cornerstone-Buloba Church vs Buloba High School Soccer Match
It’s about 7am on Monday morning over here and since I couldn’t get the internet to work last night this post is actually from yesterday afternoon. As time has gone by on our trip over here the news of a soccer team from America has grown to where Buloba High School (17-21 year olds) challenged…

Auburn Tigers Football A-Day Game Photos for 2011
Today was once again the annual spring football classic at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn Alabama. Much like the previous two years (see A-Day 2009 and A-Day 2010), it was a beautiful sunny spring day in the south, mid-80’s no clouds with a nice breeze, oh and with 50,000 or so fans sitting there watching us…

It is always wonderful to see Baseball season roll around again since it usually means warmer weather is not far behind. Unlike many seasons that start in February, today it was actually in the mid-70’s and one of…

Auburn’s Cam Newton in Tiger Walk for the Georgia Game
This was one of the shots I took from the last home game of the year for Auburn. The season just flew by, really can’t believe it’s over at least from here in Auburn. It’s been one of those unforgettable years for Auburn football, War Eagle!

Testing the Dagger Axis 10.5 Kayak at Chewacla
Last night we went out to Chewacla State Park for a very quick trial run to test out the Dagger Axis 10.5 Kayak. This boat is much smaller than our previous kayaks but is very stable, easy to maneuver, and tracks quite well. We got to Chewacla too late to give it a real good…

Fog on a Never End Cycle of Rain in the Southern Winter
Fog on a never end cycle of rain in the south in the winter. You can see the puddles around the tree swing, and the dreariness in the air. Somewhere Spring is coming.
