After our visit to the Pope Duval Fish Management Area on Friday of last week Tyler wanted another try at catching one of the smallmouth bass congregating along the shore.
So Saturday afternoon we headed back to the last lake for him to try his luck. I let him wander down to an open area so […]

Cigarjack has a post, generated from his answers, from a QuizFarm.com quiz named “Your Ultimate Sci-Fi Profile II: which sci-fi crew would you best fit in?” So I thought I’d play along and see where I fit into the sci-fi genre…

You scored as Deep Space Nine (Star Trek). You have entered the dark side […]

Last Tuesday on the way to drop Ryan off at his girlfriends house, we passed by the Three Lakes and noticed something had been killed on the side of the road, and it looked like a beaver. In the 46 years of roaming around the woods and lakes in this area, I have never seen […]

Just as a true South Park dad might do, I neglected to add my two step daughters in the original Fun in South Park post. Thanks for the gentle remainder and the images, Elizabeth.

These images are from the South Park Studio website and the imagination of Elizabeth, who is currently attending FSU, and should be […]

I was up late last night surfing the net and ran across a website that enables you to create a South Park character. I have never watched South Park but I know the kids watch it a lot. So this morning we all gathered around the computer and headed to South Park Studio and made […]

Think about it. What would you include or exclude for the perfect smoke, that cigar that could replace mom, baseball, or apple pie? I asked a question the other day about good/great smokes for under $3.00 on a cigar email list so far I have had one suggestion. I’ll give it more time, of course. […]

Saturday evening Patrice came home with a bundle of mail in her hand and began sorting through it, hers and mine.
A few weeks before, she and I had planned a short trip to Inglis, Florida to visit mutual friends for a much needed weekend with good food, good drinks, and great conversation but I was […]

It was a full house here this weekend. Elizabeth came home from FSU for the Thanksgiving holiday. This weekend I had Rachel and Tyler, so we were almost a modern day Brady Bunch household.
Patrice and her girls have declared the day after Thanksgiving including the weekend a national day of shopping. Saturday they […]

In the last post, I made comment on my cigar smoking taking me to a zen place. It is true that many times when I smoke I choose a quiet place, usually on my patio sitting next to my girlfriend, Patrice. However, after some thought, I realize that there are a number of places that […]

I want to vent on the price of gasoline. Weeks have gone by, New Orleans is slowing rebuilding, oil rigs in the Gulf were to be up and running a couple of weeks ago, but the price at the pump is still floating around $3.00 a gallon.
What’s up with that?!
The scary thing is the […]

Not real sure who gave him his nickname but that’s what we called him for as long as I can remember. He lived behind my papaw and mamaw on the other side of the hollow, Cherry Street, Knoxville, Tennessee.
Every year we visited my moms parents in Knoxville, he would walk down the hollow, then […]

There is no excuse for neglecting posting on this blog, however I’m gonna try…
You have heard the saying “a month of Sundays” but have you heard “a month of birthdays“? June was a month of birthdays for me. My birthday was 6/7, my daughters was on 6/10, my girlfriends was on 6/22, and my […]

I haven’t had much time to update the blog. Seems life gets in the way much too often. I have picked up a few cameras from eBay and a digital camera (Canon S100) from my brother last month. Also will give an update on the Canon Sure Shot Classic 120.
