Turkey Projects …

Feeling accomplished…

When I called the Bible school to ask if I could pick up where I left off, they told me that would be fine. They had all the graded tests from the first year on record, so I could do one of two things. (1) I could just jump right in where I left off … Continue reading Feeling accomplished… →

No Shave November & Squinting

It's been some time since I participated in No Shave November. I've had a goatee since the late 90's. The goatee came about because of a car accident. I was hit head on and broke my collar bone in the accident. I didn't shave for a month and when I was finally able to, I … Continue reading No Shave November & Squinting →

The Beach Boys sang the surfing hit "Catch a Wave" back in 1963. They were the kings of "surf rock" and their songs had a "happy" sound that made you wanna grab a surf board and head to the beach.
