Welcome to a Part of Me

To those that care, those that might and those that are just curious:


I am a Christian, husband, father etc. At times a bit of a contrarian so don't assign me all of the labels one might associated with those categories. I have an extreme love of food and wine and sharing them as frequently as possible. I have opinions, many of which will never see the light of a computer screen.

As time progresses you can anticipate snippets on what I understand about following Christ, copious posts about my wonderful family, failed fishing jaunts - (I don't do trips, they require too much time attention and care - jaunts will suffice for me), hikes and camping both with and without my boys, food glorious food, politics, business and the current (now past tense) job search. I am sure there will be more...

Time

Time has been a topic of conversation a lot recently.  My wife has said it is past Time that I write another entry here in the blog (thus half the reason I am doing so - don't want to be in trouble).  I think it is high Time I had found gainful employment.  For all of you work-a-day fools, yes I am a bit jealous but don't feel too bad for me...unemployment is so under-rated.  Take the Dave Ramsey course and then smile real big when someone tells you you're about to have a lot of Time on your hands.  

It is about Time for school to be out.  Angie seems more excited about summer than the boys.  4 weeks from today they will be done; whatever will we do then.

We have finally taken the Time to do some of the annoying upkeep on the house.  Angie painted the kitchen cabinets.  As many of you may be thinking - oh no, cabinets are impossible to do well...you just don't know Angie.  Angie has painted a good bit of the baseboards that needed work.  Angie has done touch up paint in the bathroom.  Angie is about to paint the exterior of the windows; here is the Time where I come back into the work thing....I paint anything past the third step on a ladder.  I also re-caulked a few things in the bathroom....and I do a lot of yard work.  Yes, I feel I need to take a bit of Time to be sure not all of you think Angie does all the work around here.  It may be true but I don't want you to know it.  

It definitely takes too much Time and effort to kill off all the weeds in the yard.  

I can't stand the still freezing cold water for a long enough Time to find the current leak.

I am donating some of my Time to help Phil Williams on his Alabama State Rep campaign (district 6- check him out www.votephilwilliams.com).   It is fun to take Time and talk politics.  It is sad when someone notes I worked on Sid McDonald's US Senate campaign and says "wow, that was a long Time ago".

My mom keeps reminding me that God always comes through just in Time...his Time not mine.  She notes that 11:59 is in Time if you turn into a pumpkin at midnight.  My reply was it feels like 11:45.  

One of my favorite Time quotes is actually from Albert Einstein... "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes.  When you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours that's relativity." It really highlights attitude, situation and focus can affect how Time seems to pass.

Now I have taken a bit of your Time and my Time to talk about Time.  And it is Time I let the dog out as her whimpering is likely due to some pressure making Time drag on for her while the whimpering is finally getting annoying enough for me to take the Time to stop what I am doing and let her out.
