Arrrrruuuuu!

This is what it looks like when fire engines go zipping by our house. Sorry, no sound but one can easily imagine the cacophony of howling hound dogs.

Signs, Signs, Signs

I had a recent urge to post some pictures taken in various places. I think it was the marque at the Quality Inn in San Marcos that got me to go back and look at some pictures I took of signs. It was tough to narrow my selection down to these few. Anomalous, mostly interesting and often informative signs are everywhere and I, oddly, take pictures of them.

Duncan AND Sharon

So, I was working on some updates to my webpage today when my wife, Sharon, came home from work. I showed her some of the changes for her comments and suggestions. Something she noticed was that my website is "duncan-centric"! Sharon is not on any of the pages!

Sharon has been my ultimate supporter during my academic challenges. I've dragged her from her comfortable and familar job in Austin to move to Fayetteville. I spend so much time away from the house, it's unbelievable. She takes care of our dog and keeps the home front going.. all while I chase my academic goals. She deserves so much more than just a photo - I'll work on that. But for now, here's a couple good ones of us enjoying our friends wedding in Austin a few years back. The photographer kept taking pictures and I wanted him to go away... so I started playing back with him and making stupid jestures while he shot away. We were in tears laughing.
