I was taking my wife to work in our car this morning. It was a fairly normal morning for us, with little to no unexpected twists or turns. I backed the car up, put it into gear, and glided gently down the driveway. Our drive is rather steep, so there’s usually a bit of a bump at the bottom where it meets the road. I anticipated the bump, but this morning we had a bump and a loud scratch. We proceeded a bit down the road, and realized that something was not right.

My wife and I were shopping at a local store near our home, randomly looking at the cool & humorous merchandise. We saw some MONSTERMOUSLY LARGE fly swatters, some really ugly coffee mugs (even for patriotic stuff it was bad), and all sorts of old movies that I’ve never heard of before (probably for good reason!).

One item we came across nearly made us ROFL in the middle of the store… (more…)

I’m not entirely sure what it is about trains that has always fascinated me. Maybe it’s the fact that one or two engines can pull a hundred cars at one time, at a rather steady speed, all the way across the country. Maybe it’s the whole fascination with mechanical stuff that intrigues most boys / men. Maybe it’s something more.

I got an email today from my wife, asking me about my upcoming show in Summerfield, NC. She asked if I had submitted the info for the gig to GoTriad, because it had shown up on one of their websites. I emailed her back and asked her how she had found out about it, if she found it herself or if someone at her work had told her about it. She told me she googled our names out of boredom, and found the info that way.

Here’s a picture of my wife Amanda and our niece Olivia! (Olvia’s about 1 day old in this picture, my wife is about 25 years…)

Olivia Dawn Ervin was born on February 25, 2007 @ 6:30pm. She weighed 9 pounds, 2 ounces, and was 21 1/4 inches long!

Amanda Tucker Brady was born on January 25, 1982 @ 2:58pm. She weighed 8 pounds, 2.5 ounces, and she was 19 inches long.

My sister (who’s name is also Amanda!), went to the hospital Sunday morning around 8ish, and she was there until Tuesday. Olivia came into the world lookin’ like the perfect little baby, and she was completely healthy. Praise the Lord!

Cool, huh?
