Okay. So after I did my weekly “Early on a Sunday Morning” post earlier today, which, this week, was just a rumination about the current presidential election race, I decided to take some time to get better acquainted with Sarah Palin–Senator McCain’s celebrated choice as his Vice-Presidential running mate.
I logged on to youtube and typed [...]

Ugh. I just sneezed five times. I’m not a quiet, gentle sneezer either. It’s loud, thunderous, and almost obnoxious. It runs in the genes. We are a family of loud sneezers.
So, I watched most of the first big presidential debate between Senator Obama and Senator McCain on Friday. To me, Obama came out punching and [...]

So, last Thursday, I finally made it out to one of my nephew Tyler’s football games. Here are some photos:
My nephew’s team from Mt. Juliet High School won with a score of 19-6. Tyler scored one touchdown and played on offense and defense through most of the game. That boy’s got some serious skills, and [...]

As many of you know, I played my first show with a band on Sunday night here in Nashville at the Rutledge . . .

Anticipation. Nerves. Excitement. Uncontrollable fits of random smiling.
I experience all of the above on the day of a show. The feelings never get old. If it ever got to the point at which I lacked any and all feelings before a performance, I would probably quit. Nonetheless, it is always an exciting time for me.
Tonight, [...]

I wanted to take a little while to pay tribute to something that has been a part of my life for many years now.
Everyday that we live, we use all kinds of items that help us stay nourished, productive, alive, and even prosperous.

Okay, so, actually it’s early on a Monday morning, but oops, oh well. I spent this morning sending out invites to my show that takes place in exactly a week . . . .

I just got done watching a good bit [...]
