Blurred Vision

Ten years ago we had the opportunity to go to England, and, since it was a potentially once-in-a-lifetime trip, I decided to buy a “real” camera. At the time, “real” was a medium-priced Canon film SLR and a couple of decent lenses. The trip was a lot of fun, I took a lot of pictures, and discovered that I liked photography. I wasn’t very good at it, but I liked it.

In the intervening years I’ve upgraded to a digital SLR and a long zoom digicam. I still like to take pictures, but I’m still not very good at it, mostly because I don’t take enough pictures.

Overweight Suitcases

I don’t travel much, but I travel enough to know that checking luggage is a bad thing. To paraphrase Darrell Royal, there are three things that happen when you check luggage, and two of them are bad. I’ve gone on a week-long trip many times with only a single carry-on suitcase (and my laptop), and I would do it every time. If I traveled alone.

But, of course, I don’t always travel alone. I’m blessed to have a lovely wife to accompany me on vacations, the occasional business trip, mission trips, etc. When we travel together, checking luggage is a necessity.

Art Imitates Life

The Dallas Summer Musicals had several shows this year my wife and I wanted to see, so we bought season tickets. Our daughter and son-in-law ended up going with us as well; we enjoyed Wicked, Chicago, and, of course, Spamalot among others, all at 8:00pm on Sunday evening.

This evening was Lion King, the spectacularly costumed musical version of the Disney movie. It also happened to be opening weekend of the Texas State Fair, so we arrived extra early, around an hour before showtime. Since we were so early, we decided to go and look at a few trucks and the new Honda’s at the Auto Show pavilion.

Be Very Afraid

My dear friend William Attaway says I should do this, and since he’s a pastor (albeit a baby-faced one), I guess Father knows best. (Yes, I know, pastors aren’t Fathers, but work with me here.) It’s midnight and I’m in the middle of a conversion for work, so I’m not going to write anything that I might be held accountable for later, but I thought I’d at least get this thing started.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

This was originally going to be titled “A Love Story in Four Acts,” but I realized that would lose my main target audience (males) before I got started. Gentlemen, now that I have your attention, you should read this if:

You have a daughter.
You’re married to someone’s daughter.
You’re dating or have dated someone’s daughter.
You want to date someone’s daughter.

Ladies, you should read this because the content is still “A Love Story in Four Acts”. Just don’t tell the guys.
