Bombers earn fourth straight win The cardiac magic carpet ride continued for head coach Shane Patrick and the Mountain Home Bombers with a 21-14 victory over the Sylvan Hills Bears in a AAAAA-East matchup Friday night at Sherwood. Mountain Home’s win was the team’s fourth straight overall and the second consecutive in conference play. The …

Closing, while exceedingly bumpy, went through okay yesterday, and except for a few things that have either changed or were missed (that I have to sign presently* at the title company), the house is officially mine. What an ordeal! This week has felt as long as two or three. (Weeks.) I’m so glad it’s essentially …

It’s a miracle. Nothing less. The call came right at 11:30 a.m. We’re clear to close late tomorrow. The aforementioned guy at the mortgage company accepted, on first glance, some things I faxed him last night. He actually did, in about 4 hours, something I asked him to do for me. Unfortunately, I have to …

For years and years now, people around me — particularly, I’d say, the people I’ve worked with — have always marveled at how I managed to cram so much life into the hours of my days. Particularly since I rarely get less than seven hours’ sleep and always insist on having just a little wedge …

Yesterday was our semi-regular staff retreat at work.

Our TiVo was working overtime last night, so I didn’t get to see but the first 30 minutes of the Cowboys-Redskins game, and that was fairly uneventful — though, the Cowboys did miss a pretty easy field goal attempt during those first 30 lapsed minutes (obviously *NOT* 30 game minutes). But then, the TiVo wanted …

I’m in a REALLY good mood today … maybe because I’ve made such tremendous progress on my pile o’ reading this week, it’s Thursday (which is almost Friday), and I’m just generally feeling great today. So, here’s a quick snapshot of my life today. It is: 9 hours until the bachelor party at Dave & …

muahahahaha Just now, one of my coworkers (hi catpants!) found me in the supply room/kitchen and asked if we could get away with me signing off on an order of business cards. Why me? ‘Cause my boss is on vacation and I was the only director in the building. Yes! For three seconds, *I* was …
