  • (Early) morning, all! Pray for my mom today as she undergoes a lengthy back surgery to remove a failed fusion and attempt a new one. #fb #
  • We just got paged on my mom's status, which is… They just got started. It's gonna be a long day. #fb #
  • No word on mom since the last update about an hour ago. I've found a quiet corner of the waiting area to do some editing. #fb #
  • The hospital's wi-fi has wigged out. Back to smoke signals. Latest update is that mom is doing really well! #fb #
  • Great news! Mom's surgery went well and she's in recovery. Now THAT is worthy of Thanksgiving! #fb #
  • Long night in hospital with Mom. The pain is making it difficult for her to sleep. To be clear, pain from surgery – not of my presence. #
  • A nurse from the lab just came in, turned on the lights and said, "good morning!" Is 4am really morning? If so, I do not find it good. #fb #
  • "Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!" -Phineas Flynn. #fb #
  • "I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with Thanksgiving." Ps. 69:30. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! #fb #
  • Hanging out in Mom's hospital room with my dad, Kelli, the kids and Aunt Ellen having T-give dinner while Mom gets a blood transfusion. #fb #
  • Okay, the sweetness and light of Thanksgiving are over. Smear on the war paint and crank up your blood lust — it's Iron Bowl time! #fb #
  • Overheard at Black Friday: "Kung Fu Panda is funny. It's about a panda who does Kung Fu." #fb #
  • I think I'm going to be sick. If I were Auburn, I would keep trying onside kicks. Wake up, Bama! #fb #
  • I guess the Auburn script was only two pages long. Now if Bama can get something going on offense… #fb #
  • End of the 1st quarter and all my fingernails are gone. Which finger should I chew off first? #fb #
  • Tie game! Now I can switch from bile and fingernails to beer and pigs-in-blankets. #fb #ironbowl #
  • Watch for the downfield pass play, I said. Did they? No. It's like Bama's coaches aren't even listening to me. #fb #ironbowl #
  • Any of you gambling types have the over/under on the number of heart attacks I'll have in the 4th quarter? #fb #ironbowl #rolltide #
  • Anyone else think maybe Ingram was already hurt coming into the game? #fb #rolltide #ironbowl #
  • Great game plan by AU, but the Tide holds strong! Roll Tide Roll! #ironbowl #rolltide #
  • Pundits who harp on Bama's "lackluster play" discredit a gutsy AU team and prove they don't understand the greatest rivalry in sports. #fb #
  • Congratulations, LSU & Arkansas. Your new-look uni's are making the SEC look like the WAC. #fb #

  • Morning all! Researching the Tuskegee Syphilis experiments today. And we wonder why people are opposed to socialized medicine… #fb #
  • RT @NASA: All six astronauts are aboard Atlantis and the hatch is about to be closed. #
  • Raise your hand if you're NOT running for mayor of Birmingham. #
  • I can't say "chicken pot pie" without hearing it in my head sung to the tune of "Jimmy Crack Corn." #fb #
  • t-30 seconds until launch of STS-129… #
  • The camera mounted on the external fuel tank sending back live shots of the shuttle's ascent blows my mind. #
  • Researching more gov't secrets. We have CIA and Secret Svc. guys at our church. Maybe they'll tell their bosses to go easy on me. #fb #
  • The deeper I dig into some of our government's doings, the less I want them to control any aspect of my life. There is evil out there. #fb #
  • My 8-year-old is studying the Renaissance and learning about one- and two-point perspective. Home schooling is just plain cool. #fb #
  • Morning all! I'm feeling paranoid & frightened after several days of researching once-secret government tests. Time for some frivolity! #fb #
  • Watching #Mythbusters and animating logos. Not a bad night. #
  • Morning all! Headed once again to those lofty halls of edit-dom, @OutpostPictures. #fb #
  • Working on cancer survivor videos. Cancer, mind-control, radiation, body snatching… can't I just do work about rainbows and kittens? #fb #
  • Anyone know if there's a #postini outage again today? #
  • Tomorrow, my beautiful bride and I celebrate our 10th anniversary. Thanks be to God for drawing us closer to each other and to him. #fb #
  • I just saw seven state troopers in a half-mile stretch of I-65 north of Prattville. Be careful out there! #
  • Wow. Les Miles' bone-headed coaching finally caught up with him on that series. #

  • Morning all! Loading up the truck and moving to Chelsea. (Actually, we're just going back home, but that didn't sound as Jed Clampittish.) #
  • On the drive home from Mobile I saw an abundance of Alabama wildlife: bobcat, red fox, coyote (or wolf), raccoon — all roadkill. #fb #
  • For those who don't know, AT&T's DNS servers are terrible. I've had dropped connections all day. Had to switch back to OpenDNS. #fb #
  • RT @NASA: Countdown has resumed for Ares I-X launch! Less than four minutes to go. — Let's light this candle! #
  • Great line from hour 2 of the Stargate Universe pilot: "The man gave his life to save me; I should know something about him." #
  • Watching "The Love Bug" on TCM while rendering. Talk about taking me back to my youth! #fb #
  • I'm sort of disappointed that the trial lacked the spark of the now legendary #langford Tuesday morning appearances before the City Council. #
  • Oh, sweet Lord! Jon Gosselin + Octomom? Someone needs to revoke this producer's artistic license: http://ow.ly/xais #fb #
  • Congrats to @thejasonsears ! His job is in the top 10 of "Stressful Jobs that Pay Badly." http://ow.ly/xaus #
  • Not to be outdone, @bobflayhart has a place on the list, too: http://ow.ly/xawe (And @KenNichols, et al) #
  • Woo-hoo! Film/TV Producers made the list of "Stressful Jobs that Pay Badly!" (Tell me something I don't know.) http://ow.ly/xayl #fb #
  • Well, I guess those jurors can forget lifetime passes to Alabama Adventure or VIP tix to the 2020 Olympics. #fb #
  • Langford couldn't get a jury of his peers… because they're all in prison. #langford #
  • RT @tlovvorn: Is being a crook a pre-requisite for being a politician in Birmingham? #langford – No, but it certainly helps. #
  • I was sick. Then I left town for a week and got better. Now I'm back home and sick again. I guess you can't go home again after all. #fb #
  • The wannabefilms.com domain has been renewed. Guess I have to stay in business another year. Anybody need a commercial? #fb #
  • Trying a new hair stylist for the first time in 12 years or so. Why am I so nervous? It's a haircut, not a labotomy… I hope. #fb #
  • Guess I have to peel myself away from this Boris Karloff marathon on TCM to carve a pumpkin now. Ahhh, fatherhood… #fb #
  • Up next on AMC: my favorite comedy of all time, Young Frankenstein! #fb #
  • It's one thing for your son to say "my poop looks like a rocket." It's quite another to agree with him. #fb #
  • Overheard at a Celtic bonfire: "Funny, you don't look Druish." #fb #
  • Going trick-or-treating? Check out my FB note, a not-so-serious bit of Halloween advice for parents: http://ow.ly/y1wZ #
  • Halloween tip #8: Kids mistaken for witches and burned at the stake have it coming to them: http://ow.ly/y6hG #halloween #
  • Again this year we ran out of candy by 7:30 – after about 150 trick-or-treaters. There were several dozen more we had to turn away. #fb #
  • Please check out my new blog post & gallery: "You can (and should) go home again." http://ow.ly/yloU #
  • Texas moved back ahead of Bama (by a slim 5 points) in the coaches' poll. I'd expect the same in the AP. http://ow.ly/ylS5 #fb #bama #
