Offer from Ole Miss »

Coach Bob Redford took an offer from Ole Miss

I was playing College Hoops 2K7 last night.  It was NCAA tournament time and I got as far as the Elite Eight and lost by a basket or two.  I thought about resetting the game and trying again, but I figured a Sweet 16, three consecutive championships [...]

$700 Billion »

The bailout didn’t pass so the stock market had a record crash today

The bailout bill, a $700 billion package to fix the financial crisis, didn’t pass the House today.  $700 billion.  Let’s write that out.  $700,000,000,000.00.  That’s a lot of freaking zeroes.  Democrats are blaming Republicans for putting ideology before the interests of the country [...]

First Figure Eight Island Visit »

Amanda and I got up and went to Port City Community Church this morning, both of us wearing Grow Zone shirts.  (Mike was a little snug on me, but I think not in a bad way.)  The music was good- Matt Blair returned (or did a guest spot, I don’t know) to the band and [...]

We [...]

Pam and Jim are engaged

The new season of The Office premiered tonight and the big deal that didn’t happen in the finale of last season happened tonight.  Yes, Jim popped the question to Pam, who accepted, of course.  They’re going to have to add some drama to the relationship of course, and I’m guessing Pam [...]

No Surfing at Wednesday Night Surf Club »

The day didn’t start off too busy, but it got that way this afternoon.  I picked up my paycheck and met Amanda for lunch at J Michael’s then went to the bank, and by the time I got back to work I had enough to keep me busy enough that I couldn’t work on the [...]
