It probably is.
My eBay auction ended last night and the winning bid for my Nikon Coolpix 8700 digital camera was $1,925.00!
A few hours before the end of the auction the bidding was progressing as normal between two people (starting at $250.00 and working its way to around $300.00) until a third bidder entered the auction. [...]

Last night, Sharon and I enjoyed a live performance of Phil Keaggy.
Even though he lives in Nashville, this is the first concert we have had the chance to attend. It was Sharon’s first time seeing him live, and hopefully it won’t be our last.
He truly is an amazing guitarist. As you can see in the [...]

Here’s some blackmail material.
Jesse and Troy really do get along most of the time. Both boys are quick to show their affection for Mommy and me with big hugs and kisses. We encourage the same toward each other. Here, Jesse is lovin’ on his little brother. Hopefully this “Kodak Moment” won’t be used against him.

My computer at work uses two hard drives. The system drive is a 80GB Western Digital and is almost 4 years old. The other is a 20GB Maxtor and is (I’m guessing) about 7-9 years old.
Yesterday one of the drives (I wasn’t sure which one at the time) started to make a clicking noise like [...]

I haven’t had the time to post this past week due to several reasons. One was that I was in the middle of moving offices here at work. The office that has been the home for all my clutter for the past three and a half years was a windowless, doorless (a doorway but no [...]
