Summer Plans
This summer is shaping up to be very eventful. Aside from the Math class that I’m taking for the first part of the summer, we have a wedding in Florida, a youth camp in New Castle and who knows what else. The class I’m taking is finite mathemetics. Luckily my wife was a math major…

Wading through the past
I’ve taken some time and posted some items in the Items of Interest section (see the "What’s New" section on the right for quick links). I dug through my archive of stuff and found a couple of items that I thought might interest some. Or not, you choose.

Adams & Agee website revamp
I spent some time today revamping the Adams & Agee website. I’ve been ignoring it for the last few years, but after receiving a CD order I decided it would be a good idea to clean things up. Who knows, maybe I’ll be able to draw in some more sales! If you’re interested in taking…

Rotary Revolution
As I mentioned in my last post, Jamie (my brother-in-law) and I went to Indianapolis this weekend for the 2005 Rotary Revolution. It was a large gathering of rotary engine cars from all over the country and it was site. Though we did have a great time looking around at all of the cars and…

Strange Days
This week has been very strange. Kristen’s great-grandfather passed away over the weekend and we had the calling and funeral Tuesday and Wednesday. I was out of work all day Wednesday, which didn’t make things any better. Wednesday, the day of the funeral was one of the strangest days I’ve ever experienced. You know how…

Rosebush
Kristen and I have lived in a small house in Richmond since we got married in August of 2002. Outside of the front door, on our porch, there’s a rose bush of some kind. I don’t know anything about roses except that they’re somewhat expensive and Kristen (and many other women for that matter) likes…

The smoking machine
I’ve been waiting for it and expecting it, and this morning it happened. My computer’s power supply blew up. This past week I’ve been smelling that fried electronics smell that I’ve come to know very well after losing 2 or 3 power supplies in the past. So, I had to just sit there and wait…

Richmond, Indiana: Then and Now
Those of you who have either visited or better yet still live in Richmond will appreciate this new resource from Morrisson-Reeves Library. It’s called Then and Now and it offers a glimpse into the past of Richmond, Indiana. I spent some time going through and I find it amazing how much change a city can…

Bike pedals and aching legs
This weekend was yet another great time. Friday night Jamie, Kristen, Tara and I had a campfire out at Kristen’s parent’s house. We made smores and tried to avoid the cold wind as we huddled around the fire. That evening I redicsovered my love for Rise of Nations as I played online against seven other…

New web project in the works!
As most of you know, at one point I was the webmaster and part owner of Living-Dead.com, an online community for horror movie fans. It was a website I started in my spare time, but it grew over a couple of years into a highly popular horror movie website that people visited from around the…
