I have spent hours of the past few days uploading all of my pictures to my account on Flickr. A friend from work gave me a pro account on Flickr. When Yahoo bought Flickr, the people who had pro accounts on Flickr were given 2 free pro accounts to give away to friends. I uploaded… Read More: My Flickr Photos »
Dad called me last night to find out about the Astros schedule for the post-season. He had just gotten out of a cold shower and was sweating already because they still didn’t have power being close to Beaumont. He was setting up the generator to run a window unit during the night. He told me… Read More: Mom & Dad »
We arrived home yesterday around 4pm after leaving Brownsboro around 9am. We had no electricity and it was pretty hot inside the house. Everything was just as we had heard from a few people who stopped by earlier to check it out for us; the fence was down, there were branches and leaves all over… Read More: Home »
I heard this evening that someone from our church went by the house to check on our stuff. The fence between us and the neighbor fell into her yard, but it didn’t look like anything else was damaged. Not even my building! That made my day much better. My parents don’t know yet whether there… Read More: My Storage Building! »
I text paged my Dad earlier asking him if they’d made it to Tyler yet, and he responded that they were there, comfortable, and headed to bed. For anyone who doesn’t know… If your cell phone isn’t working, your text messaging should work just perfectly. I haven’t been able to talk to my family in… Read More: Update/Cell Phone Service »

We’ll be in Athens in, at most, 6 hours.” As soon as Beltway 8 was in sight, I saw nothing but lights… standing almost… Read More: 18 Hours On The Road »
I looked at weather.com this morning and it indicated that there would be thunderstorms all day long. I love thunderstorms. It’s just a small indication of the power of God. We’re going to be pool-sitting for a family from church this week. It’s supposed to be fun. But the way it looks right now, it’s… Read More: No Excuses »
I can’t stand driving in the city. All these people driving all over the place, everyone thinking that their destination is more important than mine, and now there’s fewer lanes to drive in because of the stupid Metro Rail. I saw at least half the people driving were talking on their cell phone, and I… Read More: It’s a … »
We’re supposed to find out today. Everyone keeps asking us what we think it’ll be, and we keep saying that there’s a pretty good chance that it’s either a boy or a girl. I know it sounds lame, but it’s true. I hate it when people ask me what I want, because I don’t want… Read More: Boy or Girl? »
I found this article about my grandfather’s first cousin, Leonard Kunefke, and his service in the Marines. It is pretty interesting and is composed of a 2-part feature on his service.
