In other news...

Last week was dry and cool here in Tupelo, the sewer got finished and the water meter gets set tomorrow. I'll believe it when I see it.

Got to the gym a couple of times...got to pick up the pace on that.
On Tuesday, went to Florence to have dinner with one of "the good ones" at Dale's Steakhouse. Wednesday, went to the Reformation Party @ LPC. Made me glad that event only comes around once a year.
Thursday, Had dinner with one of the guys from Columbus, Ga
Friday, a old friend from Dallas (now Jackson, MS) came up for a visit. Dan plays and sings a Swing/Big Band that was playing up here for a charity event. It was good to see him sing and play as well as visit with him on Friday and Saturday.(LOST MY BLACKBERRY, GRRR!! new one will be here on Wednesday) He headed home around noon.
Watched LSU vs. UAT. AU won nicely! Enjoyed watching the "Inside Man" again on HBO.
Went to church today, took Zeigler for a long walk, went to the gym and to church this evening.

Well, here's to water running at the car wash this week!

Where has the time gone?

Been a month since I have posted an entry...will attempt to do so as Auburn is playing the Hogs from my neighboring state Arkansas.
I have not put any photos up since I moved, I will fix that tonight! Click "more"!

This is my little pink house (duplex) here in "the Tupe".

I am not going to post any interior pictures here. If you really want to know what it looks like inside, you have to come and visit.

Look closely, do you see her? That is what I see every morning when I leave. Best. Dog. Ever.

So, I had to go to Columbus for some training for work, I got to stay in Auburn.

And visit with my buddy, Greg, and my other buddy, Greg.

And watch/hear Perpetual Groove! Good show, good time.
That was a Tuesday night, drove back to the Tupe, dropped off my dog and went to..

Oxford to see Perpetual Groove, and pretty girls.

Again, a great show, but my last one for the foreseeable future, due to the "real world".



Pgroove's lead singer, Brock Butler, and some goon.

Paul came over from Huntsville and spent a few days with me. We went to see Florida vs. Ole Miss



Saw this, BBQ Pork nachos! Not mine, but a masterpiece!

The legendary Grove

Construction on the car wash is almost complete, maybe open in 2.5-3 weeks. I am looking forward to that.
Life is good here in Tupelo, I have found a church to call home, and a great gym.
It seems to me, that I lead a life of solitude, and about 98% of the time I am good with that. That other 2% can be nagging though.
Special thanks to folks that check in on me! i love you more for that!

Got a scanner, took this picture in 1986.

Weekend Recap

Dave and Andrea got married this weekend, I know them from being friends/fans of PGroove. A raucous (for many) evening Friday at their hotel. People that came in Friday were: Patrick, Owen Brown and Gray, John- Ashley, Hal, Molly, Julian, Kevin, Marley, Lindsay, Debbie, Post, Meg, and Brent.
Spent a good part of the day Saturday with these friends.
Arriving Saturday were: William, Andy, Todd, Chris, Steven, Joe & Jessica, the Dannon, BDave and BJessica, Bradley, Brook and I hope I did not forget anybody! Sweet wedding at Burritt Museum atop Monte Sano, the bride was lovely and the groom cleaned up nice! Wonderful reception with plenty of food and drink to go around. A followup party was held back at the hotel. Needless to say, a good time was had by all, some more than others! I called it an early evening and got to church Sunday morning. Sermon was on mercy and specifically forgiveness and unforgiveness(spell check doesn't recognize that).
If you are unwilling to forgive, have you truly accepted the forgiveness that God gives?
Took one of the guests to the airport, party was still rolling at the hotel.

Late in the day, went to Decatur to watch a bike race, got some great shots. Here is an example. Almost filled the card on my camera.
