Don't be that guy....

A brief rant.

Don't be that guy....

The guy who doesn't wait with the rest of us to get off or on the interstate, but who drives right up to the off/on ramp and "nudges" his way in line.

The guy who circles around the Target parking lot for five minutes to find a "close" parking spot, when you would have saved about three minutes if you just took that "not so close" parking spot. Bad weather excluded.

It is about to rain

I am sitting here eating my lunch and looking out the window. It is
close to raining. I really like the look of everything right before a
good rainstorm. Its almost like everything has to work extra hard to
stand out because of the gloomy light being cast everywhere.

Little did Santa know it, but his life was about to change forever.

I have an addiction...

.....to USB flash drives. As you can see I have many thumb drives. I don't know why. To be fair I don't discard any when I "upgrade" to larger sized drives. What do I do with the ones that I don't really need anymore. Everytime I am at Target or Best Buy or whatever I always think "boy, that's a great deal on a 2GB flash drive. I need to get that".

I do keep them organized a little bit as you can see by the Hog 3 label.


This is how I carry all of my drives around. Soon I might need to get another one.

Fun times

This last Sunday my wife, my mother-in-law, my father-in-law, and I went to the Nashville Zoo with some good friends of mine. We met Carter and his family along with Darren and his family.

After meeting up at the front of the park we all set out to look at some animals. Carter and Katie brought a wagon for their kids, but let Elijah use it too. That was very nice of them.




It was great seeing Elijah have fun with the older children. They really played nicely with our little guy. It was especially great considering Elijah is so much smaller and slower. We did fall behind a few times, but Elijah had a great time just wondering around the paths looking at grass and speakers and stuff. I still don't think he is at the age where he notices the big animals, but he had a great time.


We stopped for lunch at one of the best stocked park cafeterias I have seen. They had a lot of different choices for us vegetarians. After lunch the older kids wanted to spend the rest of the day playing at the playground that was on site. Brandy and I had no problem with that since we were there for Elijah anyway. He (we) had a great time in the play area. There is this large padded room that toddlers can just run around in. Elijah got to play with a lot of new little friends. Elijah and I went down this very tall slide that was at the top of the main play structure in the play area. A small four year old asked me not to "run him over....because I am only 4 and you will hurt me". Cute kid.

It was a great day all around. Thanks again to all the older kids. They helped make it the great day that it was.

It is no secret that I enjoy playing with toys at FOH.  My wife and I joke that my son Elijah and I will have to fight over toys when he gets older.  I don't know about that, but I figured I would post some pictures of some of my toys "in action".

The FOH Rangers

Here our rangers are attempting to run the show.  They didn't quite make it to the 'go' button, so I had to help them out a little bit.

This guys is so in love with the trackball

Putting good use to those muscley arms.....

Hope you all enjoyed looking at my toys.  More to come (hopefully).
