The A-Team Movie
One of the things my Dad likes to say about my sister is that she used to love to quote The A-Team, one of the best shows to come out of the 1980s. Besides really capping the career of Mr. T (who was, after all, introduced to the world in Rocky III) it also provided [...]
The Snowpocaylpse
My sister and Matt are up in D.C., and thankfully have power and internet still. The other day they received a lot of snow and were basically stuck in their apartment for the weekend with a couple of friends. Despite the Metro running in her area finally, she still is home from work as the [...]
Holy Mothballs
Grandma Griggs had always been the survivor in the family. Privately, everyone thought that she’d outlast everyone with her two pack a day habit and her penchant for drinking cheap beer, living alone out at the old farmhouse out in the county area. Pete used to say that if there was ever a nuclear war, [...]
Aluminum Tree

Cool Birthday Sunglasses
Oh how much more 1980s could I have been back during this birthday party where, wearing these glasses, it seemed I was more upset than anything. Could it be that they were the ugliest thing ever stuck on my face? Quite possibly so.
My Daily Photo: September 12, 2008
I was probably a month or two old at the time when this photo of me was taken with my sister. (My mother said that this was Mother’s Day 1985…) There have been plenty more since then, but I think this is the only one in existence that we aren’t actively trying not to look [...]
My Daily Photo: September 5, 2008
I have no clue when this was taken, but by the time it was Beauregard was an adult and Kendall and I were still treating him like our own baby pig. That we never, ever really cleaned up after. Of course, that wasn’t the point. I’d say with the denim shirt and shorts, this was [...]
The Myrick Family Reunion
As long as I have lived in these southern latitudes in these United States, change has always come slowly down here. It’s indoctrinated into the culture down here that slow, steady growth of family and business seem to go hand-in-hand, with it taking forever for a new franchise to open up in towns. Five Guys [...]
Post Wedding Photos
So Saturday’s wedding celebration, or Wedding: Impossible as I like to think of it, went as well as it could. The original ceremony idea at the pond was unfortunately cut out because of rain, and power was out at Mike and Patty’s house (where we ended up holding the wedding) had no power right up [...]
On Tennessee Time
I called my sister this evening to see if she had yet to make it to Tennessee today after driving all day from Washington, D.C. Kendall and Matt are on their way to Nashville in the morning to see a friend of theirs that is about to move to Portland before driving down to Chattanooga [...]
