So, as I am sure for most, this is a great time of year. One where children wake up earlier and are a twitter with excitement over the coming of Santa Claus. I would just like to wish all my friends and family a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I hope that each of you has a very relaxing time off work and remember to enjoy the time you spend around those you love.
So... have you ever had this conversation before concerning vacant office space with your job? So many thoughts come to mind relative to this strip... Like...
We lost a couple of people this week. I am gonna need you to come in this weekend... or...
We have an auditor coming in to "place" random people in empty spots in our offices. Spread some papers around so it can "look lived in"...
So, during Thanksgiving Break this year, cousins met and reunited this year. It was definitely a great time had by all. Notice any resemblances???
Anyway, it will never cease to amaze me how cousins instantaneously bond like brothers whether it was the first time they have ever met or the one thousandth.
So many things can be said about this one... meetings which are typically interminable if they do not have focus, taking technology out of the hands of people that use it for productivity, crushing one's souls, which people who know me know how I feel about that one...
OK... gonna try this over the weekend... But on the surface it looks pretty cool... Found via Lifehacker (a good blog with a wealth of info)...
Webapp FreeRinger makes free PC-to-phone calls from your browser to over 30 different countries across the globe-or at least that's the idea. FreeRinger is powered by another free international calling service, Talkster. The calls are ad-supported, so you never have to pay anything, and since the app runs from your browser as a Flash application, you don't have to install anything to use it. Unfortunately FreeRinger, I wasn't able to successfully log in when testing FreeRinger (even after forwarding port 1935, as the troubleshooting page recommended), so I wasn't able to verify the quality. If you give it a try and have better luck, let's hear how it worked in the comments.
I got flashbacks this weekend to insect collection requirements during the course of all the years of science classes I had to take when I ran across a walking stick at the cabin...
Question...
How come any time you wanted to find a walking stick or praying mantis they were nowhere to be found???
Regardless of how hectic and tumultuous life can be, how could you not be calmed down and forget about some of the worries of life when you can see something as beautiful as this?
How could someone ever think there is not a God who could put together something as complex and magical as a the things in nature?
No fish this weekend... Got some scouting reports from my uncle, so it is game on next weekend...
So, we did the fishing thing at the lake again this weekend... So, where is the pole, you say??? Well, this was Jackson mid-exploration of some fish he saw near the boat ramp...
So, formerly a paid service, Quicken Online has now turned its service into a free one. Some of the features and benefits:

A rumor picked up by Kyle Veazey... The Internet is abuzz this morning with a supposed report from the Birmingham CBS affiliate about the hot rumor of the past week-plus around here — the one involving Mississippi State offensive coordinator Woody McCorvey and former Auburn offensive coordinator Al Borges.
Read more about what he found out about this...
Well, my little Cards fan was fishing again last weekend... Didn't catch anything but neither of us cared...
So, the TB Rays won last night... I hate it... I still think the Sox where the better team... Losing Ramirez I think hurt them more than people will let on... Serious power outage....
Anyway, what killed me the most was seeing all the "throngs" of Rays fans cheering on their team... Most were donning shiny new jerseys since they were watching a Rays game for the first time...
Think I am off base??? The Rays averaged 22,259 this year with an overall attendance 800K below the A.L. average. Their game average was 16K below the Red Sox... Sour grapes? Sure... But it does sicken me to see fans so behind a team when they haven't shown up all year...
Jackson is always so funny with the questions he asks (incessantly) and the ways he figures out solutions to problems. Sometimes these problems are actual problems and sometimes they stem from wanting something that I want agree too...
Where did they learn how to be so sneaky? I guess they learned it from the best... Their parents...
Anyway, the great thing about sitting on 16 acres off a lake is the fact that he can take his battery-powered four-wheeler anywhere without getting in any trouble... And he loves it too...
