Happy 2009!

2009 light, originally uploaded by Henry Hingst.

2008 has brought some wonderful changes for Amy and I. We bought a beautiful home in Decatur, GA, we made some new friends and became more embedded in our church and our lives in Atlanta. Have a great 2009!

Volkswagen Passat CC

Amy and I dropped off Amy's Passat at the VW dealer and they had a couple of these. This is a great looking sedan.

Amy and I went and got new phones and new service yesterday, so we've been enjoying listening to ring tones and just playing. I'll try to put up a substantial review in a week or two.

His conference record last year as a head coach ? 0 - 8. Wow. I'm hopeful that this is speculation, but The Birmingham News is reporting, from a story they picked up from Iowa TV station KCCI.

This is about a quarter of the Holiday inflatables at this house in North Atlanta. They had at least 50 and they were so close together, it was overwhelming. Many of them were patched with packing tape to cover holes. I am sure that their neighbors hate them and may be the ones responsible for the vandalism.

Samsung Omnia

Please Auburn!

Please don't consider this jackass to replace Tommy Tuberville. The reason you won't see this person's name in my blog is that I don't want to drive the buzz surrounding him by inflating his Google ranking.
