Goodbye, Old Friend – Pictures
I wanted to post a few pictures to supplement my original post, Goodbye, Old Friend. This is the day I bought the car back in 2000. I bought it from Gentry Motor Company in Macomb, IL. Me, sitting with my car for the last time. The interior. Not too bad after ten years of heavy…

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – A Movie Review
The fourth installment of the Indiana Jones mythos was adequate and entertaining, but failed to capture the charisma of earlier films. I thought something that worked particularly really well was the pairing of Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf. LaBeouf takes a lot of flak from the internet community, and I’m not sure why. He’s got…

With the contemporary release of theatrical versions of the first two installments, I’ve enjoyed rereading the books for the first time in twenty years. Prince…

Original Art for the Baby
Talented and award-winning artist Dixie Petticrew (and my aunt) created the below picture as a gift to our little girl. Kristen and I absolutely adore it! We have several pieces of art by Aunt Dixie throughout our house, but this one is by far our favorite for obvious reasons. If you enlarge the picture by clicking…
