It’s not very often that I get a chance to take a weekend off. What’s even more rare is a weekend off that’s still work related. And, what’s even more rare, rarer … If you will, is a weekend conference trip where I join up with 1,999 other people just like me. That’s right, I’ve […]

Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow//
The one of the best parts of my job is that I get to be creative. It’s even in my title. I think, when people ask me what I’m doing… I’m going to start saying, “Being creative.” Yesterday I found myself in an oddly creative mood at 9AM. We’ll see what happens with this… And, […]
Read MoreFEELING BAD ABOUT YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU CAN’T KEEP UP WITH SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO//
I LOVE the Back To The Future Trilogy. Maybe it’s my parents’ fault. It’s the first movie I remember. We saw it at the drive-in theater next to the County Sheriff’s department where my dad worked. I remember sitting on Mom’s lap with those “mom earmuffs” hands over my ears for good long stretches of […]
Read MoreBACK IN BUSINESS//
It’s been a couple of weeks since a fairly long email/text/twitter conversation with a friend that was trying to comment on my joke blog and wasn’t able to find the “submit comment” button. Turns out that the theme I was using was “damaged” in my upgrade to WordPress 3.0. Annoying. But, when all was said […]
Read More“DADDA!”//
I got home from rehearsal tonight around 9:30. As I walked up the stairs, my 80 lb. pedal board in one hand with the other on the bannister… I heard something moving from Isaac’s room. When the boy moves… everyone knows. His crib was shaking with excitement. Then I heard him. “Dadda! Dadda! Dad! Dad! […]
Read MoreWEDDINGS//
I like to go to weddings. I do. This is by no means one of those posts that is intended to make wives go home and say to their husbands, “PJ likes weddings. Why can’t you?” Inevitably, I would get in trouble if this happened. So, I’ll leave it at this… I like weddings. I like stories. I like happy endings and new beginnings. That’s what weddings are to me. Plus, there’s usually free food… and what kind of Christian would I be if I passed up free food…
Read MoreWHAT? IT’S ONLY BEEN 6 WEEKS?
So, what? It’s only been 6 weeks since I posted anything… I’ve heard a lot of people talk about how they get burned out on blogging and they feel like the need a break. A “blogatical” if you will. Then they come back and they have all of these profound things that GOD taught them […]
Read MoreDAMAGES//
If I’m honest with those of you that read this blog, I’m damaged goods. It sounds cliche, I know… but it’s true. It’s something that I live with. It’s something that we all have to come to grips with. It’s just a fact of life. It makes it really tough being the emotional train wreck […]
Read More11 OTHER PLACES I COULD LIVE//
I like change. I just do. Angie and I think that there may not be two pictures in our house of me with the same beard structure/hair style. I love the change in seasons. I like to rearrange my office. I just like change. I’ve never lived farther than 30-45 minutes from the town where […]
Read MoreWHEN ALL OTHERS SLEEP//
It’s 1:11am… And, I’m writing a blog. What’s wrong with me? There are so many answers to that question. But, in this particular instance, I find that I am more creatively inclined between the hours of 10pm & 2am. I haven’t had any caffeine today (see blog sub header). I just find that the juices […]
