Rode To Cloudland Canyon 09.27.09

Today we went for a bike ride that took us over to Cloudland Canyon State Park. I’ve been wanting to check it out but just haven’t made it over there yet. Unfortunately when we left the house at the start of the ride, I didn’t know we were going to stop there or else I [...]

Atlanta Floods 09.23.09

The flooding that the southeast has experienced over the past few days made national headlines. Local schools were closed for a day or so, and I’ve heard about a few roads being washed out around here. But I think all the rain and rising water that we got wasn’t nearly as bad as other places, [...]

Transition Means Changes & Meetings 09.21.09

Since my work has merged with another one of what we previously were, we’re no longer a non-profit organization. Changes in benefits, retirement plans, positions, procedures, etc. are all forthcoming with the transition. If it were up to me, it’d take a long while to get to those changes. We’ve already had one staff retreat [...]

8th Anniversary – 9/11 09.11.09

I can only imagine what this day is like for those who lost loved ones on 9/11. I missed watching Obama’s first anniversary as President today, but sadly the only reminder of what today was that I experienced were the scores of flags that Dalton had standing on the lawn of the courthouse, and my [...]

Mom’s Fender Bender 09.08.09

On Saturday we went up to my parents new place to put the shingles on the back side of the house. After a couple of hours of working, mom went to get us something to eat for lunch. She hadn’t been gone but just a few minutes when my dad’s phone rang w/ her ringtone. [...]

Pink Ball From SocialVibe 09.04.09

If you earn 2,000 points for your cause on SocialVibe, they send you a pink stress ball. I’m at 4,132 points so far, so with 100 points equaling 457 gallons (according to their Facebook app), that’s over 18,000 gallons earned for charity: water so far by me. I’m hoping they add in some type of [...]

Sending Ringtones To Verizon Phones 09.03.09

I’ve always tried to avoid the ringtone sites where you choose your carrier, enter your phone, and let them send it directly to your phone because I never feel like reading the terms to see what kind of hidden charges there may be. It turns out that sending a ringtone via email to your phone [...]

A Great Street Sweeper 09.01.09

Today I spent my lunch hour riding to the mall to get a much needed haircut. While I was either waiting on my turn, or waiting on my brother to get finished up so we could leave, I can’t remember which, I was reminded of the following quote.
If a man is called to be a [...]
