As I mentioned in my last entry, I golfed last week. I couldn’t hit a good tee ball with my woods, but started teeing off with a four iron and ended up with a good round despite my challenges. I need to hit a few balls tomorrow, because I’m playing in a Stepping Stones tournament [...]
As my regular readers have observed, I’ve been woefully neglectful in blogging. I would fill this entry with excuses justifying my lack of effort, but it would be a waste of good blogging time. Instead, I’ll just say that I was encouraged to write today by a mom — not my mom, but the mom of [...]
Today is my birthday. At this point, I am enjoying it by watching the first few games of March Madness in the Holiday Inn Express in Mineral Wells. Some of you may be asking why I would be at a Holiday Inn Express a few miles from my home — the answer is simple really [...]
Upon seeing me enter a room, one of our students often says, “The Dean’s in the house.” Well, I am in the OVU house today, but none of our students are here because they’re on Spring Break.
Logically, I understand why we have Spring Break at this time of the year — it’s mid-point in [...]
Jeff and I (along with one of our friends, Amy) watched Expressions! 2008 last night. From Colonel and Kelly’s romantic song to the hilarity of the social club skits to the crowd participation in the Players’ vignettes, the show was great! I enjoyed every moment. Congratulations to all the performers and to the director, Erin [...]
I’m heading to Austin, Texas on Monday. My task in Austin is to project employment patterns in the years 2012 - 2014 for a global company. I’m pumped about this opportunity. If you have a chance, please pray that I travel safely and that I represent myself, and OVU, well on this trip.
Thanks!

Jeff and I spent the Christmas holiday with my family in Nashville, Tennessee. It was great to be with my parents, brother, sister-in-law and nieces. And, of course, it’s always nice to be with Jeff. We visited for eight days, but when we left on Saturday morning, it didn’t seem like enough time. I guess that’s [...]
I’m supposed to be grading finals right now. I’m procrastinating. I have no idea why. It’s unlike me to do so. The only reason that I can identify is that it feels too much like work and I don’t want to work right now. I guess that means updating my blog doesn’t feel like work. [...]
A few days ago, Jeff and I received our Christmas club check and determined the amount of money that we can spend on each person on our Christmas list, so it’s time to shop. I’m excited about Christmas shopping, which may be strange for those of you know me because you know that I don’t like shopping [...]
OVU lost a member of its community last night — a young man who played on the soccer team and was only a sophomore. He was a great guy and will be missed by all his teammates, friends, and the entire Fighting Scot family. As I reflect on the last several hours, I’m trying to [...]
