(Jeff Hamilton of the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra is playing the drums on this Diane Krall version of “Let It Snow.” Jeff and I grew up in the same town and we both played in the High School Band. Obviously, Jeff is a far better musician and I’m a big fan of him.) Okay, enjoy the…
Image via Wikipedia We have had snow this Christmas. That was followed by warm weather. Sunday it may snow. Changing weather means changing conditions. Now is a good time before it gets colder again to check your tire pressure and your fluid levels in your vehicle. Changing weather can cause a tire to lose pressure…
Image via Wikipedia Over the holidays we enjoy seeing family and friends. Also, children get new toys. Ralphie, in A Christmas Story, wanted a Red Ryder BB Gun. Everyone told him, he would shoot his eye out. The irony is that after he got his BB Gun, he almost did shoot his eye out! Many…

Image via Wikipedia One of the things that I do as an attorney is a lot of driving. This past week I drove up to Huntsville for the mediation of a case. Another day, I was headed to the Lovelady Center to lead the Alpha Course, a basic course on Christianity. I noticed that I…
Image by Bitman via Flickr The weather is supposed to get bad tomorrow with predictions of 1-2 inches of snow! If it does, please don’t drive! We don’t have the roads prepared like they do in areas that normally get snow. More importantly, even if you do or think you know how to drive in…
One of the lawyers in our office saw this and passed it on. I thought that you might like the sentiment as well. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior who was born and died for each of us. P.S. Be sure to be safe as you…
