Man what a change in weather. It was just four days ago it was 104 degrees and we had not had any rain in a month. The grass was dead and the air conditioner was running 24 hours a day. Yesterday I woke up to a nice rainfall that lasted five hours. [...]
This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a weekend without having to do school work since I finished the summer semester last week. The fall semester does not begin until August 25th. I just wish it was not so hot but I guess this is typical of August to be 100+ degrees. We have been [...]
I had high hopes for getting a lot of things done this weekend prior to going on a temporary duty (TDY) to San Antonio but did not get much of it done at all. We spent most of the day yesterday cleaning out my father in-law’s rent house on the next street. The former renters [...]

Call me naive, or just plain old fashion but I am tired of accepting dishonesty as an acceptable means for getting what you want. This evening I was reading a post on the OKCTalk website about the Howard Shultz’s lawsuit against the owners of the Seattle Supersonics. I began to see a trend of postings [...]
The ongoing drama of the NBA arriving or not to Oklahoma City has been a roller coaster but has finally happened. On Friday, April 18th the NBA’s board of governors voted 28 - 2 to allow the Seattle Supersonics to relocate to Oklahoma City. Our city has longed to have a team ever since the [...]
