Y or Y not?
The letter “Y” can change a lot. Happy certainly isn’t the same as happiness. I know I get pissed when someone spells my last name without one and it seem to soften the flint of an otherwise difficult name to say i.e. Cutty, Gunny, Baby,. Starting to get the picture? It can completely change a fish to fishy. No “Y” brings about images of open seas and aquariums and the other makes you curl your nose. And let’s face it. A fair and a fairy are way off. I guess the one rule of thumb that sticks out in my mind. If you have to put a “y” on the end of class, It’s probably not.

Hot Boiled Peanuts
Hot Boiled Peanuts are a TREAT here in the South. Whether YOU like 'em or not, every true Southerner knows the smell of salty filled water boiling over on the stove in late Summer. The anticipation of what's to come with these salty little boiled devils is enough to kill you.

You’ll never guess what Gabby wants to name her little brother.
The other night, we were having dinner. April was over because Kenn was out of town on business. Amber and I had just returned home from our doctors visit where we found out the sex of the baby.
We all gathered around the table,... - Daylight-Savings Blues?
Can we just keep daylight-savings time?
* Think about it... An extra hour of daylight without losing an hour of sleep each year? What a concept.
* Sleep is important and we're throwing an hour away each year. Why not save the hour by not coverting back in the fall.
* How to cope with your sleep loss... - The Kindness of Strangers
I had the opportunity to ring the bell for the Salvation Army this year. In the past I have done as many of you have. Pretended that "you gave at the office" or faked a call on your cell phone to avoid the deep, soul searching stare that is followed haunting "Merry Christmas". I've thought...
- Discovery
Gabby discovered that the trees change clothes before winter today. I cannot tell you how much it warms my heart to see the world in her eyes. No recession. No goals. No reason to not have a popcycle. You name it and child-like optimism wins. She gets so excited about everything. I want to help her...
- Long Time, No See
I know it's been a while. A long while since I have posted on Meet The McKinneys. There really has been a lot going on and I probably have several good excuses, but I won't use any of them. I'm sorry. Now that it is out of the way I feel better. Don't you? Good. Bringing you up...
- Judge Not, Least Ye Be Judged
This morning began like many other Saturdays. No coffee, no milk, and nothing to eat in the house. After a the hustling and bustling of a busy, character building week, the last thing you want is to wake up without coffee. For some reason I find delight in not preparing for my...
- Do You Have a Dream?
As cliche' as the questions is, it was asked of me in my reading. Right now, I have the pleasure of reading John C. Maxwell's book The 21 Most Powerful Minutes in a Leader's Day. Day by day it asks provoking questions 5 days a week. Today, I am on Day 1...

Getting stuck in the house on a Saturday or a Sunday Morning absolutely kills me. It makes Gabby particularly cranky too. A week or so ago We decide to take the whole family for a walk. It was nice to see this strange phenomenon called...OUTSIDE!

In the last few weeks, something interrupted my flow. Not sure what the heck was going on. I found myself wondering how I would continue doing my job well enough to satisfy me. I was feeling pretty empty and no gas stations in sight.
There has been a lot going on. The...
