As I was walking this morning, I came to the bridge that spans Peach Creek, and I decided I’d take a couple of photos and share them and this story with you. I’m thinking my old pal, Dan Findley, might have spent some time in Texas.

We got back to College Station last night, and things didn’t go that well. But, I’m not here to tell you about the little problems (one of them was ants, thus the title of this piece), because that’s not what I preach. Read the rest of this entry »

Foobaw 2013 ~ Day Seven!
Who Could Ask For More?
When Nathan was leaving the house to go suit up for the game, I told him, “Have fun, and play every play like it’s the last one you’ll ever play.” As I sit here this morning reflecting on the game and writing about it, I’m thinking maybe he took my encouragement to heart.

Foobaw 2013 ~ Day Five!
Big Sky! Little Troubles!
Undaunted by my little scheduling blip, and after about an hour and a half of backtracking, we were back on schedule and headed north to Montana. And it seemed the minute we entered the state, it was suddenly obvious why they call it the “big sky” country. Read the rest of this entry »
