Full of Annoyances

Seems like the last couple of posts, besides the wonderful picture of Coach Dawson, have been annoyances. Well, yet again, I was confronted by one this afternoon.

After forgetting to upgrade my wife’s phone of two years, I finally called Sprint this afternoon to take care of that. Sounds pretty simple right? Wrong.

I call in, and go through about 7 different phone menus, only to get a customer service representative who is barely audible, or to me at least. Maybe I am just going deaf, but as soon as I get put on hold, the music almost makes me deaf, so I don’t think that was the case.

Anyways, after asking for the upgrade, I am then asked if I want to add a phone line to my account. I am pretty sure that we are not going to have anyone else that needs a phone in our family anytime soon, so I had to reluctantly decline. Then, after asking if I own any computers, I am given the option to purchase an a wireless internet plan. While tempting, I had to decline.

Thinking the sales pitch was complete, I exhaled, only to be asked again if I wanted to add an extra line! No. I do not need another phone number. Laura does not need another phone number. Our unborn children do not need a cell phone, and won’t until they are old enough to pay for it. Just please upgrade the phone like I requested and let me on my way.

I think I am getting impatient/grumpy in my old age…

A Weekend for Football

As I am sure many of you know, last weekend was the opening week for NCAA football, and it was full of upsets, blowouts, and a few lackluster games, just like usual.

But the most exciting football last weekend was taking place in the small town of Hico, TX. Each year, for the past 5 years (I think), Hico has been the host of the Six-man Super Saturday.

This year was the first year for me to attend, but instead of me sitting and enjoying all the games, instead I was sweating a few pounds off with Caleb taking photographs for his new venture End Zone Photo. It is definitely a different perspective, just taking pictures of the game instead of getting to watch it, but it was a great day for some football, and ended up with some awesome lighting, especially in the 4th game.

While most people pick action photographs that show someone getting creamed for their favorite picture, the one below keeps drawing my eye to it. Something about the perfect light from the setting sun that just makes it one of my favorites.

Check out End Zone Photo’s website for some more pictures. And remember, any picture that you think is good, I took. ;-)
