Sunset on Lake Cumberland

I keep bragging about where I live, this is why:

Elton’s Southernization

Move over Scott, here comes Bill!

10/15/04 The Scott Peterson murder has dragged on forever. The media has hounded every single move as if it were important. I only one detail, the verdict.

Dreams

I have a friend that for as long as I’ve known him, has had very strange dreams. The strangest part is that I could repeat every single one of them here. None are perverse, they’re just weird.

Took Brendan out looking for punkins this weekend. These are the two he picked out: He couldn’t carry them, but he tried real hard.
