Early Bird Day 6 – Religion

Okay, so maybe I should have made the Early Bird Challenge a “weekday only” challenge. Or maybe I shouldn’t have done the challenge over a weekend that Pam and I were traveling. Either way, I still posted every day, and that’s an accomplishment.
It was really good to hang out down in Kentucky this weekend. Brian’s [...]

Early Bird Day 5 – “Remember the Sabbath…”

Before you all start casting stones, remember the 4th Commandment.
I didn’t hit my blog deadline this morning. I was actually up around 6:00, but Pam is having some issues with her neck, so I was tending to that. Anyway, after that, I figured “it’s Sunday, I’m in a sweet hotel room in Kentucky, I’m going [...]

Early Bird Day 4

Good Morning!! Just to refresh, this is why I’m up so early on a Saturday. I’m glad it’s the weekend. Pam and I are actually taking a little road trip this weekend, which will make it interesting for me to keep my Early Bird commitments, but with my handy iPhone in tow we should be [...]

Hollywood Be Thy Name

Since I have been informed that this morning’s post was “lame,” and since I also agree, how about something good?
The friend of mine that I mentioned in the last post is Charlie Hardin (aka Charlie Murphey). We both hail from Mississippi. We’ve actually known each other for quite a long time, since senior year of [...]

Early Bird Day 3

This whole getting up early experiment is interesting. Getting up at 6 when you don’t have to work until 9 is very odd to my body.
The plan for today was for me to post about a new CD a friend of mine from Nashville just released, but that will have to wait. (Stay tuned.)
Well…my [...]

Early Bird Day 2

Whew. After working late for Day 1, it was hard to get up. But I made it.
So maybe it’s just a coincidence, but yesterday was a record day for traffic to the blog. 105 visits. The previous record was 87. Give yourselves a hand, everybody. That’s quite impressive. Check it out:

Happy Thursday!

Early Bird Day 1 – My New Guitar

As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ll be getting up early for the next seven days. Let’s see if a cool new habit develops. I cheated a little bit today. On Wednesdays Pam has her clinical for nursing school. She has to be there at 6:30, and I’ve been taking her every week. So…day [...]

The Early Bird Special

I’ve always enjoyed getting up early, even as a kid, but I’ve never been good at it. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t rushing to get to work or church. I’m rarely late, but boy do I cut it close.
You know those people who always get up early? They’re always at work before [...]

Blogger’s Block

After having this blog for quite a while, I’ve seen my stats drop off rather sharply. It’s progressed in typical Joe fashion – I get an idea, I dive headlong into it, then I trail off after a while. I don’t know what personality letter you’re supposed to assign to me, but I’m a classic [...]

Germtracker 9000

Calling all scientists and nerds. I’ve had a cold for the last several days. Today I had to go back to work. I’m on the tail end of the cold now, and it’s moved on into a sinus infection. I sound like Barry White, quite sultry.
So here’s what I propose. Somebody needs to invent some [...]
