Everybody Talks About the Weather….
Mar192002
A couple of weeks ago, we had some fairly cool weather. Well, what passes for cool here in South Alabama, anyhow.

Clan Controversy
Mar122002
In Scotland, there has been some long-standing animosity between the Campbell and MacDonald clans, dating back to the Glencoe Massacre in 1692. Having marched alongside some MacDonalds at the Alabama Highland Games a few months ago, I kind of figured that after 300 years, this was more-or-less water under the bridge. Apparently not. A Campbell has been chosen as the head of a visitors center in Glencoe, and some of the MacDonald’s aren’t too happy … Continue reading

Busy Bee

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve stayed pretty busy at work, and at home, too. But it’s been a good kind of busy. Yesterday at work, we got our web team together and finally settled on a template and structure for a redesign of our company web site. This is something I’ve been itching to do since I started working here 2 years ago. Our web site has a lot of good features, … Continue reading
