Question to the Blog masses
If I want people to follow me on my blog, am I supposed to be the first one to sign up? What's the rule or is there any rule?

Changes in sound
Over the last 3 weeks, the normal sounds of our household has changed. With the death of our noisy Lab(the memoir to Lady still to come, sitting in the draft room)there has been a quietness that has brought a peaceful spirit with it. She was as you might say,"hot natured" and panted all the time. When she slept, most of the time she snored. When she gave herself a bath or drank out of the toilet it sounded like a misfiring Hoover vacuum cleaner. So most of the time she was making some sort of noise. The night she died, there was an eerie quiet unlike I've ever notice in my life. Humans may leave a mark on our life but pets leave a mark on our soul.
With the new quietness in our house, I've also heard a strange manly voice embark upon my ears. It makes me stop and wonder if we have company or not. That voice is the sound of my 15 year old, Jameson, going through puberty. Not only has he grown a foot in the last six months, he now can probably sing lower than me.

So long Startxchange
It saddens me that I'm going to have to quit surfing one of my favorite traffic exchanges. Today, Tim over at Startxchange decided to up the surf timer from 10 seconds to 15 seconds. First of all, I hate 15 or 20 second surf timers. I prefer ones that are under 10 if I can find them.
Now I understand kind of why he did it but the timing without warning has me perplexed. Mid-morning he just switched it over, plain as that. No notice given. To me, it's all about the principle of a way someone goes about doing something. As soon as my credits are used up, that will be it for me.
I liked Startxchange for several reasons. I could advertise 10 sites, 5 banners and 5 text links easily as a free member. Occasionally, I would win 1000 credits or my favorite was the 24 hour platinum upgrade.
I'm actually kind of glad, though. I found it be too addictive and monotonous. The way it's setup is kind of a ladder tier system where you are competing with fellow members for a position. I personally felt like a new prison inmate swatting others out of my rear end. There is no letting up. You get up to get a drink and someone passes you. In order to keep your position for the day you have to surf anywhere around 2000 times a day, more if you want to move up. If you like the competition, have at it.
Several times, I thought about upgrading so I wouldn't have to surf so much but I never could talk myself into it. Now my wife will be happy that I'm not surfing as much. She's says, " You've been at that for 2 years now." To tell you the truth, I'll just be surfing other sites.
Well, I enjoyed it, Tim. I will miss some but others I cannot forget soon enough.

Books by Cathy Bryant
You! yes you! Take a look to your right. See the slide show? Good.
Now I'm not much of reader but you'll enjoy these books. Especially, if you are into fictional Christian romance with a Texas grass roots background. If you're like me, you'll wish the characters were real so that you could meet them.
Get caught up and come join us as Miller's Creek followers are craving to get their hands on the 3rd installment. Tell em Little Bo sent ya.

It's time to "Let's Go Racing"
I can hardly wait until the new season of NASCAR starts. There's something about the start of new season, as with any other sport, and the stats starting at zero. Of particular interest is the repaving of Daytona. I, for one, got tired of looking at cars bounce all over the track like a roller coaster. If I want that, I'll go to Six Flags. If there's anything NASCAR fans want to see is speed and massive pile ups to soothe our sick sadistic minds.
I predict this will be the year that Jimmy Johnson loses the title.
Long live the Man In Black #3. God rest your soul.
