Hurting

I am, mostly hurting, but I am having a bunch of mixed emotions today. A long-time friend posted on Facebook, last weekend, a story about her son and a serious motorcycle accident he had been in. She talked about the accident itself, the injuries, of course, but she also talked about something that took me back after my day today. There was a period of time, apparently about 15 minutes, between th

Don't Be Flaky

Recently, my alma mater, The Baylor School, announced the retirement of the Headmaster, Scott Wilson. Scott was the Admissions Director when I entered Baylor, as a freshman. He is a great man and was a great Headmaster for Baylor for 12 years. I wish Scott all the best in his retirement.

RIP Papa Grubb

Today, I mourn for my Brother, Phillip Dewayne Grubb, aka "P.D.", aka "Papa Grubb." Papa Grubb was a Harrison Lodge Brother of mine and also the father of two other Harrison Lodge Brothers of mine, Phil and James.

Papa Grubb was a fine man. James was the Master of Harrison Lodge, when I became a Mason. I first met Papa Grubb fairly early on in my Masonic journey. Quite honestly, he s

This is a listing of my website "portfolio", per se. Building and web design, in general, is just something I do for fun. I do not do it for pay or as a vocation. I do it at my leisure, for things I find interesting.
