Tim’s departure from Dripping Springs: 1:55 AM (CDT), Saturday morning Arrival in Dublin, OH: 10:22 PM (EDT), Saturday evening Google trip time estimate: 19h 42m Actual trip time: 19h 27m That’s a variance of 1.3% by my reckoning, which ain’t bad! Unfortunately, Molly didn’t take off either time that I let the dogs out of […]

T-minus two weeks to some semblance of normalcy in the Wilson household. I hope. I’m heading out at the pre-crack of dawn on Saturday morning with the dogs and a truck bed full of miscellaneous stuff that the movers did not or could not take for one reason or another. Google says it’s 19 hours […]

Come to think of it, I don’t know that I can remember a time that her mother had her toenails painted. Fingernails? Maybe twice in the last 15 years? I, of course, had my own fingernail-painting phase. But that was […]

Yesterday, we chatted briefly, and she mentioned that she had taken the kids shoe shopping and walked out of the store with six pairs of shoes. From left to right: boots (for the farm) for Benton, tennis shoes for Benton, jungle mocs for […]

The Leathermans also have a yellow lab who was pretty wound up when we visited earlier this year, but has apparently started to settle down a […]

Julie got the kids up at 5:30 AM yesterday morning in McKinney (just north of Dallas) with a goal of reaching Springfield, Missouri or beyond by the end of the day. In reality, she got a good ways beyond Springfield to Rolla, MO. Google says that’s just over an 8-hour drive. And Google doesn’t factor […]

…my mother??? What exactly is a fellow to do when he has no house (and, therefore, no yard and no swimming pool to maintain), no kids, and no spouse? That’s temporarily my situation. I did get into the office for a few hours on Saturday, and I made it to Borders to pick up an […]

I believe this is the longest stretch that I’ve gone without a blog entry. The title? Referencing caffeine. Up until a year or so ago, Julie and I probably consumed 8 cups of coffee and a case of caffeinated soft drinks a year. Combined. Currently, I’m at a cup of coffee a day during the […]
