27 Jul 2009 Good thing I’m not a doctor.

Well, I’m glad I didn’t decide to get my PhD.

www.drscottcrews.com is taken. I found the site this morning, thanks to the power of Google Alerts.

Dr. Scott J Crews is a dentist in Spokane, WA. I’m sure he’s a great dentist…after all, with a name like that, how could you go wrong? Besides, he made the site with iWeb, which means he (or whoever made the site) is a Mac computer person. Another potential identifier of greatness.

I don’t know why my sister is even bothering with her PhD. There’s apparently already a Dr. Laura Timmerman. I don’t think she has a website yet, though….

Anyone else have a good story of someone else who shares their name?

21 Jul 2009 Kroger’s Price Policy

I love Kroger’s price policy. If it doesn’t ring up right…it’s free! Through the years I’ve gotten free yogurt and a free cheesecake from this policy.

This morning I got free Hydrocortisone cream for a bug bite. It was a nice surprise. After all, the only thing worse than getting bit by an insect is having to PAY money to because you got bit by an insect.

16 Jul 2009 Countdown to the X-Games

I love watching the x-games every year. During the last couple years I haven’t had cable in my house, so during the X-Games weekend I usually try to arrange hanging out with all my friends at their houses. (The bigger the TV, the better!)

This year I’m excited to see a few more of the folks I’ve worked with over the last year getting to compete in the X-Games.

The first two are BMX guys.

We have a team here in Nashville that we book and manage: Outcast BMX. We do events, primarily in churches and schools, where our guys roll up to the location, pull out the ramps, and do a big show. Through this we’ve gotten to work with a bunch of great riders.

So this year, when you’re watching the BMX freestyle street contest, here are the two people you should cheer for:

Nathan Williams. He’s from Nashville!

And…

Seth Kimbrough. He’s from Alabama.

And the other person you should cheer for is our friend Willy Watts. Willy has come to a few of our Freedom Experience events, and appeared with Kevin Johnson on our DVD, Standing Room Only. (Last year Kevin won a Gold medal in the X-Games)

Willy is riding in the Moto best trick competition. I do believe that might be my favorite event to watch. So needless to say, I’m pretty excited.

13 Jul 2009 Chris and Rachel got married

This past weekend my friends Chris and Rachel got married. Lyndsay and I both got to be a part of the wedding, which was a blast. I took a billion pictures, which I will post soon.

A couple months ago, Chris and Rachel asked me to make the slideshow of their pictures growing up. We played it at the rehearsal dinner, but it turned out so well I thought I’d post it here too.

09 Jul 2009 Kroger, the eco-friendly hypocrate

When I’m shopping in Kroger, I hear ads running over and over telling me that buying a reusable bag will help the environment and save hundreds of bags throughout my lifetime. I even see it written on signage out in the parking lot.

But when I check out with a single item, I get at least 12 inches of register receipt tape, including my entire monthly Kroger Rewards Point balance and even a credit card application for my very own Kroger credit card. For ONE item!

Seriously, Kroger? I don’t need a foot of paper to tell me that I bought a candy bar.

C’mon.

06 Jul 2009 Happy Fourth

I hope everyone had a happy fourth of July. We got to go visit some of our friends in Birmingham at a wedding shower for our friends Chris and Rachel, who are getting married this coming weekend. We grilled out, played corn hole, ultimate frisbee, and watched fireworks. It was a great time. I only took a couple pictures, but here they are.
