Sam & Tammy

In place of words that are work to ryhme,
I would have your sweet ardent time.
In my heart there lives a song that cries,
and weeps for a time when end sighs.
In that place for lack of time,
we ne’er will fret nor pine.
In that eternity of enraptured bliss,
a moment encapsules an eternal tryst.

I really, really, really like meat, tender tasty beef, and maybe a piece or two of lamb and chicken. I also really like mixing my meat with various fresh fruits, especially sweet ones.
So here are many photos, of our wonderful time at Rei Do Gado in San Diego where we went with Julia and [...]

I get offers in the mail all the time for terrible merchandise offered at exorbitantly high prices, or secured credit card offers with $70 in annual fees.  But this one I got the other day really takes the cake.
They send you this credit voucher that looks like a check for $400.

I’ve been doing a bit of readjusting in my free time activities, basically they’ve been canned. You see I was spending way too much time following the pursuits of my fleshly pride, yup, so the Lord canned them. Sort of by force, with my help of course.
In the place of vain [...]

I’m sure everybody in this modern age of spam has received a spam email followed by a random collection of words and phrases from well known literary fiction.  This is what happens when you try to let computers do creative writing.
In a fleurdelis without warning the face of count grew sullen Black angry [...]

On Mother’s Day, Tammy, Shani and I went to two of the parks nearby, we walked from one picnic to the next offering a free heart or flower balloon to the mothers. After we got our foot in the door with the balloons we passed out the Mother’s Day Activated magazines or some appropriate Reflections. [...]

Life has been busy, occasionaly hectic, sometimes a little bit crazy, but generally a whole lot of fun. On Easter Sunday, over a month ago now, Tammy, Shani, Kyla and I went to the park, along with half of our small town. (The place was packed.) We found an empty picnic table on [...]

To my Mother: For 25 years you’ve been a steady support, a wonderful friend, a wise adviser and most of all an incredible mother.  Now that I’ve started a family of my own I feel blessed to have a reference point in a great childhood and such loving parents.
To my Wife: Tammy you’ve made me [...]
