Not only are the Spankers coming to Dallas while I’m off the mainland, they’re coming to DENTON, TOO!!! I don’t want to seem like a whiner, but … good grief!

I don’t watch a lot of television. That said, if I had thirty minutes of tv-watching a day to meter out, I’d choose never to miss an episode of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” — to me, that alone is truly must-see tv! Clearly, Jon’s stock is rising in the world of television and …

I’ve always felt a particular affinity for the underdog, quite possibly because I grew up going to a high school with a somewhat less-than-stellar football team. That doesn’t mean my optimism is quashed year after year, though; my blood runs blue and gold, echoes of “Bomber Man” replay in my mind, and I will forever …

I thought about posting this here, but good grief — it’s way too long. Brace yourself for the inevitable gasping in disbelief, and then mosey over to take a look at the AFI 100 list my Web site. I say brace yourself, because I’ve only seen 37 of them. Yikes! This was inspired by Matt’s …

Yup, that’s right, my good buddy Eric (von) Huber just found out today that an offer he placed on his very own house in Springdale, Ark., has been accepted. He’ll start moving in the third weekend of September. Three cheers for Eric! Congratulations!! 🙂

From my Web site, I’ve got a link to this groovy Flash chima that lets you build your own South Park character. I originally spotted it on Matt’s Web site when he posted his character. I created my own South Park gal, which frankly I’d say is not all that impressive. David, however, did a …

After much internal wrestling (I do that a lot, you know) and a very dangerous noontime trip to Barnes & Noble, I’ve settled on Lincoln (the book, I mean) as my presidential biography of choice. It’s a hefty tome, clocking in at about 720 pages, but it just feels like the right choice. I was …

{all due credit to Pa Norell for the subject-line quote} I was just trying to find a link from Google to Gmail (if it exists, I’ve got link blindness), and while poking around the site found a link to a piece of software called Picasa. This nifty little program is so damned cool! It creates …

Last night was my first Presidency & Public Policy class, which — in a break from tradition — is a class I’m taking at TWU face to face, not online. As it turns out, though, the professor has decided we’ll only meet F2F on alternating weeks; the rest of the time, our class discussions and …

I have no idea where or how I first became aware of what’s called a “come to Jesus meeting.” Nobody’s ever explained it to me, but since it entered my lexicon I have been asked to explain it many times. As I understand it, a “come to Jesus meeting” is one where everyone dispenses with …
