I have been anxious to have a personal photo gallery attached to my main website for so long. I finally decided to make that happen. Let me know what you think in the comments section please. Thanks for viewing!

Fire In The Hole

Civil War Re-enactment outside Birmingham, Alabama

HTC Evo over iPhone 4

2011-10-14 20:19:00

Sitting here smugly knowing the iPhone 4s is obsolete compared to my HTC Evo. Still, iOS DOES have better apps.

Simplicity

2011-10-19 19:03:00

Still sorting out what is being sold, donated or thrown away from our rented storage unit. I think we shaved off about 20% recently and I am not done yet. 

I’m hoping that by simplifying my world I can gain more perspective on what matters most to me. 

Eliminating the non-essentials is very liberating. 

What is something that you can do without and would be willing to give up?

Let Me Stand Next To Your Fire

2011-10-19 19:05:00

I’ve been selling/donating books and throwing out old magazines.

I’m saving space and money by going digital.

The Evo has a huge screen but I still have eye strain when reading from it.

My birthday is coming way too soon.

I want/need the new Amazon Kindle Fire tablet.

The Process of Elimination…

2011-10-22 19:06:00

…is a true statement.

My in-laws are renting a dumpster and setting it up in their driveway. They are planning on eliminating years of stuff this weekend.

The rest of the family (local and even from out-of-state) are here to help with the purge, or salvage what they think is valuable.

Personally I am in favor of throwing a majority of our “stuff” over the side and celebrate when the waste company takes it away.

The process is almost over.

So I may have been wrong when I left Twitter recently and I’ll tell you why.

The community is a fantastic resource of information and updates.

At some point I will rethink its value and decide what to do but for now I am a Twit again.

Roughing It

2011-10-29 19:08:00

Why do people consider getting outside and into nature as “roughing it”?

Here in the city and in the suburbs are chaotic. The traffic, the hassles, the deadlines and the noise are unbearable.

The most enjoyable, peaceful times one can have are outdoors and even away from the city.

One of my favorite memories includes a weekend in a lakeside cabin, a borrowed Hemingway novel and no expectations.

“Three months of camp life on Lake Tahoe would restore an Egyptian mummy to his pristine vigor, and give him an appetite like an alligator.” - Mark Twain, Roughing It

Another memory included thin, crisp, clean evenings on a mountain range

Not very rough at all.
