First signs of Fall
As I walked behind the mower last week, I saw them - brown, green, crisp and dead - laying there in the mower's path; they were the first visible signs that fall is almost upon us. I realize that Labor Day isn't even here yet, but the dead leaves laying in the yard, the yellowing of the beans and corn, as well as the lower morning temps, are a sure sign that fall will be here soon. This time...
Abby’s first trip to the Zoo
With summer winding down, and hunting season close to kicking into full gear, the wife and I really wanted to do one last - purely for Abby - activity.   Then, one night while reading one of her favorite books, I instantly knew where we were heading - the zoo. Abby loves to read books involving animals, and she loves to name the animals as we read through the books.  She loves all the animal...
Moving stands, checking cams: No outfitter needed!
When I'm watching outdoor television, there is nothing that gets under my skin more than hearing the person in front of the camera say something like this: "Well......we're on our way to Battle Creek Outfitters to hunt for a few days. Jim, of BC Outfitters, has been watching a few bucks during the year, so hopefully we'll have a chance at one of them in the next few days. We're gonna get a sh...
The Aftermath
It rained on July 4th. And while the rain was a welcome relief to the retreating soldiers, as well as the victorious ones, it was not welcomed by the local residents of the little Pennsylvania town.  It came down in sheets, soaking the unburied bodies still on the field - some with hands folded, and others with clenched fists; it inhibited the Army of Northern Virginia's retreat across the Pot...
Nature: Life in Stereo
As the beginning notes of Round Here made contact with my auricles, I was in heaven; I had forgotten how incredible my Bose earphones were.  I could hear every instrument in the song - the chords on the guitar; the intricate timing of the cymbals and snare; the keyboard quietly playing in the background.  It was as if I was experiencing the song for the first time, though I had heard it many tim...

Waiting on Blog Content

Posted By: Arthur on December 4, 2008 in Ramblings - Comments: 7 Comments »

As you can tell, my new content suppliers for the blog are doing one heck of a job aren’t they? (not!).  Hopefully they get their act together soon, and actually decide to supply something for the site.  In Jeff’s defense, I know he is currently working on an end-of-the-year video, so hopefully that will be up soon.  It’s Jeff’s first time taking a crack at creating the videos, so it will be interesting to see what he comes up with.   Lord knows there won’t be much footage of me on it.

And as far as the former South Carolinians contributions to the site, I’m not really sure where that stands.  He keeps telling me that he will write something, but I have yet to see or hear anything about it.  And since he is currently down near the lowcountry, if he desires to post something, he should let me know and I would be glad to get him set up with an account on here.

Both of these guys have been talking a big game about wanting to write on here.  And I have given them ample opportunity.  Only time will tell if they really mean what they say.  I think they are starting to appreciate what it takes to write a post on here everyday.  I guess I need to rack my brain to come up with things to write, because if all of you have to wait for them for content, it will be Christmas before it gets here……literally!

Oh, and on a side note, Abby turned 2 months old yesterday.  Man how the time flies.

    Arthur I know how tough it is to put content on my blog some days, it’s not easy. In this day and age of run here and run there and do this and do that we are luck to have time for anything else.

    Hang tough……..

    I’m glad to hear Abby is doing well, take lots of pictures because before you know it they are growing up.

  2. Wow, Abby’s two months old already! Time does fly.

    I think all bloggers face the issue of having to create content. If you need a guest post or two let me know. I could probably whip something up. There have to be parts of Michigan I haven’t written about yet.

  3. Aww Abby! They are so sweet at that age. Except for the crying.

    I saw you mention someone got ran over by a reindeer on another blog and I’m not so sure I read about it here. Have I?

    Just wait till you are celebrating Abby’s 1st Birthday… trust me the time really does fly!

    C’mon fellas! Don’t let Arthur down.

    There. That was my best attempt at a pep talk – and thus you see the reason I’m not coaching in the NFL.

    It is certainly easier to WANT to post things, than it is to actually come up with stuff to post :)

    Love your posts, Arthur, but I do look forward to your other guys doing some posting too, just to get even more perspectives.
