(Editor’s Note: The original for this post is on the Genghis Grill site. Please jump over there and give me a positive vote for it. We’re in a tough race.) I have to say the icing on the cake about this challenge with Genghis Grill so far has been the people who I have enjoyed [...]

Ready to Start Again

Tomorrow I begin another adventure in the world of weight loss. I went and weighed a little while ago and I’ve gained back about 17 lbs since coming back home from Alabama in September. That’s not good. In late August, I had that heart attack. I was supposed to lose weight, not add it back. [...]

Despair = Suffering – Meaning

It’s amazing how much anxiety people feel over change. They fight it. Fret about it. Talk about it. Blog about it. Resist it. Hate it. Complain about it. And so many of us each and every day seek to keep it from happening. Friday I received Chip Conley‘s new book, Emotional Equations. WOW. A few [...]

Feeling Like Ugh

It’s day 2 of 2012 and I’m drained at the stressors around me. Work is ever-present and I’m doing my level best to perform. I have three major projects underway and I’m doing everything I can to make them all come to fruition on time and within budget. The house, oMg, the house that has [...]

Welcome to 2012

Goodbye 2011. I don’t mind seeing you slip into the mystery of the past. The year was certainly better than 2010, but it still wasn’t where I want to be on my life journey. There are some cool projects under way and I will be sharing more about them soon. In the meantime, I ask [...]

Let’s Face It Cowboys, We Are Not Going To Win With Tony Romo

Donny Claxton — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 05:07:09 +0000

I just wasted another four hours on a Sunday to watch the Dallas Cowboys lose. Again. For a long time, I’ve been writing here on this site that Tony Romo is NOT the quarterback who is going to take the Dallas Cowboys to anything but a losing season. Time and again he has shown he [...]

Balch Springs Police Officer Matthew Garcia

Donny Claxton — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 04:24:31 +0000

I was saddened to hear the news today of the death of area Balch Springs Police Officer Matthew Garcia who died in a motorcycle accident off duty this morning. To make things worse, Officer Garcia’s wife was following behind and has to endure life with the memory of having actually seen what happened to her [...]

December 2011

Donny Claxton — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:31:48 +0000

Well, December 2011 is flying by. Sort of. Lots of work is going on on a couple of new and incredible projects. Last night my girls and I stopped at the house of former next door neighbors of ours and decided to knock on the door and say hi. We haven’t visited with the couple [...]

Happy Black Friday

Donny Claxton — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 13:35:19 +0000

I know some of you who were up, well maybe never even went to sleep last night so you could be out shopping in the darkness of this Black Friday. Some day I hope to 1) have a situation where I have tons of money to go spend on the morning after Thanksgiving, 2) have [...]
