My little bride and Elder Daughter received bouquets like this one yesterday. Somehow, it’s become a tradition that I send them flowers on the anniversary of Buddy’s death.
I’m delighted to be able to send them. I enjoy their sincere thanks for their beautiful flowers.
And, as long as I draw breath, and can afford it, the [...]

Man, 10 years.
That’s calendar time, though a year or two is missing from my recollection.
Missing, but filled by a dull ache.
A couple of things:
You were not as bad a dumbass as I thought;
I’ m not as evil a stepfather as you may have thought.

I wish we could talk over a beer,
and head to the pool [...]
The drivers, and important numbers for todays running of the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway are as follows:
#31-Jeff Burton, 795
#11-Denny Hamlin, 796
#24-Jeff Gordon, 797
#12-Ryan Newman, 798
#99-Carl Edwards, 799
Dale Jr is not in his familiar channel 799 slot today; presumably, winning the pole will make up for that.

I write from time to time about our son Ryan, who died long before his time as far as SWMBO and I are concerned. We always called him Buddy. Our church had a long-standing custom where congregants could purchase an Easter lily, fill out an “In Memory of ..” form, and have it [...]
Happy Memorial Day! A day off. Always a good thing. We’ve seen yesterday’s race cars, many in military service livery, roar around the track. President Bush has made the visit to Arlington, to adorn the Tomb of the Unknowns. All this is right and proper.
I don’t know anyone who has given [...]

I’d previously bemoaned the fact that my brother-in-law’s CableCo doesn’t carry the NFL Network, resulting in our not watching the Kansas City Chieves on Thanksgiving night. Scott, aka The Fat Guy, suffered through listening to his Cowpokes on the radio, since he couldn’t get NFLnet.
Only yesterday, I wrote about NASCAR’s HotPass package [...]

It seems like only yesterday, and also like a hundred years.
Still loved, Still remembered, Still missed.
In Memory of Ryan, 5/29/1968 – 11/8/1997
The Nextel Cup Fall Challenge has started at Fantasy Sports. Point totals are reset to zero, and new teams are picked. As it turns out, the $10 million funny money salary cap was not sufficient to reconstitute my team from the Spring Challenge. So I pieced together a new crew, and after race one, [...]
I really do miss Kansas. Even scenes like this. Storms have incredible power, along with an island of peace and tranquility that you can see, even though it might be afar off.
I came across this site today, which chronicles one episode in the life of a Nebraska storm chaser. On this day, [...]
