About Me

My photo
Born in Memphis, TN many moons ago. Educated at East High School and Christian Brothers University in the mysteries of Electrical Engineering. Married for 36 years this year to the same lovely lady with three beautiful children. Lived in LA, WV, IN, IL and essentially all-over TX (well, at least on business trips). Love my family deeply, feel very blessed by God (more than I deserve) and appreciative of all the friends I have made in this life! My first car was a Chevy II Nova (in upper right of my picture) - one of the first Nova's of this type made. It had a straight 230 cu in six and Torque Drive. Torque Drive meant it had no clutch but you still had to shift it from first to second when starting out (second to third was automatic). Very unique car. I loved it! Now I have a Mustang GT (going on 19 yrs old) given to me by my wonderful wife and it is still a blast. I now have a new daughter - the beautiful lady my son married! So thankful for all my family!

The First Snows of Winter 2006-2007

Nothing is as pleasant to me as the coming of cool Fall weather and the first snow of the new winter. (I know - I'm weird). While most people see it as a harbinger of tough cold weather to come, I see it as Mother Nature turning on her air conditioning for a while. After the long and warm days of Summer, I am ready for some calm, peace and tranquility. The quiet of winter is wonderful and the opportunity to rest from Summer yard care a great relief.

Here are some pictures of our first light dusting of snow on 12OCT06. I hope you enjoy them. - JR

Just had to rub it in a bit. Snow is such a wonderful thing and has always been one of my very favorite of things!

Our Weather Today:

It's been a very wet Spring so far this 2015. However, we have had periods of beautiful skies in between. Currently that trend continues. Oddly enough it's been quite cool compared to the norm so perhaps that means a summer that is not a scorcher. Really, I'm ok with that...
