1. Vote in Florida Primaries
2. Fill up with gas before the 8 cent tax relief is over.
3. Pray Hurricane Frances goes away.
4. A whole bunch of other stuff.

So far, so good. Still working on #4 though.

Sheesh!

I don’t like the way this is going.

Email etiquette has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. Ever since I learned my lesson in 1998 that I shouldn’t CC everyone the same hoax, I’ve been on a personal crusade to see that people follow certain rules when they email.

I’m losing.

But I read this article today called How To Be a Boor and it’s good. It captures all I really want to say…except when you get an email that is a forward of a forward, etc, before you forward it again, please verify it at snopes.com! Go there. Stay a while. You’ll learn a lot about the lies going around in email!

So maybe equipped with this blog and this article, maybe I can win again?

One can only hope.

Thanks to Seth Godin for the link.

The 2004 Athens games are finally over. It was fun to watch. And who finished #1? The Bahamas!

What’s that you say? You thought it was the US of A? Well, not according to this chart adjusted by points and population.

But we still got the most medals.

TheManInBlue.com is conducting an interesting survey trying to determine favorite colors.

What makes this survey kinda fun is not only do you pick your favorite color, but you also let him know if you’re a designer or if you’re from “the real world”.

Go check it out. Link via Digital Web Magazine.

August has been a crazy month for us. We started by celebrating Rob’s birthday, we continue to prepare for our mission trip to Vancouver, and hosted a visitor named “Charley”.

Read the rest of our latest update.

I haven’t had a good laugh like this in a while. Please know I love my baptist brothers. But this is funny.

I’ve always thought owning an atomic clock would be cool. I don’t have one, but it looks like I might be able to get one soon!

Cool.

Anything to make a buck I guess.

Good grief.

Today we decided to head out to the beach one last time before heading up to Vancouver. It’s going to be a different kind of place up there…but we’re looking foward to it.

We went out to what is referred to as “The Space Coast” becuase from where we sat overlooking the ocean, to the left was NASA’s lauch pads and buildings (I think a rocket is going up tonight…bummer it didn’t go up while we were there). It’s not the greatest beach, but it’s a beach and that is what is nice. It’s always fun to be at a beach where I can dream of Jeanie.

I started reading Blue Like Jazz while there. Got through the first 3 chapters…it’s pretty good. It’s like a blog book! If you’ve read it, leave me a comment as to what you thought of it.

Do you use message boards? My favorite is the TigerNet where Clemson fans and alum post.

If you post or want to start posting on a message board, you should watch this flash presentation called Posting and You.

My next door neighbor shot this footage of Hurricane Charley coming to visit. (video takes about 1 minute to load).
