Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays.  It has food, football, and family – all of the staples of an American man’s life, wrapped into one great day of celebration.  I’m very thankful for the wonderful family, steady job, and comfortable home with which the Lord has seen fit to bless me.  Twelve [...]

Well, that was easy.  After a fairly competitive first half, Michigan laid down in the second as OSU romped to a 42-7 victory.  They just couldn’t stop the big play.  As a matter of fact, if Pryor were a better passer, Michigan wouldn’t have been within 7 at half time.  Pryor is a great playmaker [...]

No, that’s not a typo…  We checked out two movies tonight.  Get Smart, starring Steve Carell, was a better-than-expected nostalgic trip modernized for the current era.  Carell was a very believable Maxwell Smart, and not quite the bumbling simpleton I expected (feared) he would be.  Certainly he has his moments, but there’s some talent and [...]

I occasionally brag on my kids here, and since it’s my blog, I’ll take artistic license to celebrate their wonderfulness once again…  Ten total grades: 7 A’s, 2 A-’s, and 1 B.  Not too shabby!  The kids are polar opposites in how they manage their work, but both are successful nonetheless.  Just as important, the [...]
