Honeybun had surgery yesterday to repair her broken arm. The break was where the radius (one of the forearm bones) joins the elbow.

Yesterday Honeybun broke her arm when she was playing tennis. Ouch. It hurts too much to go out so our Easter dinner was takeout from Outback Steakhouse. Her sirloin was tasty, but the ribs I had were the best. Honeybun isn’t doing much besides laying down and popping Vicodin like they are Tic Tacs. I [...]

Honeybun and I have been remodeling the house. We are in the eighth month of a three month project. Today we are getting a new door and security screen. Well, maybe a security screen. There seems to be a question about whether or not it will fit.

Amy Welborn has linked to an article about the United Church of Christ’s new TV commercials. The UCC press release describes the commercials: The 30-second commercial begins with a shot of an African-American mother trying to calm a crying baby.
