Memphis to Lamar
| December 20th, 2008We are in Lamar, AR. I recently learned that “Jay” Tucker was born in Lamar.
Just to give you a little taste of what five hours in a Toyota Camry with the two coolest kids west or east of the Mississip is like, I recorded a bit of it.
The Fam

Brad Johnson (a.k.a Hound Dog) took this shot for us.
Air Traffic
| December 19th, 2008Mr. Lumpkin shared this with me. Craziness.
Every commercial airline flight in the world, over a twenty-four hour period—a visual reminder of the scale and scope of culture, and the unprecedented ways that air travel connects us to one another. Also a reminder that prosperity and connectivity go together, and their distribution is uneven, to say the least.
Away in a Manger
| December 18th, 2008Sophia loves to sing. And now, she’s all about the Christmas tunes. The other day I could over hear her in her playroom singing. It went like this:
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Cried and cried and cried
It’s Christmas Break!
| December 17th, 2008My joy is best expressed by this saxamaphone wielding reindeer.

Vacation Deprivation
| December 15th, 2008
Expedia wants you to take a vacation. Man, look how days French folk get off every year. No wonder.
But I Believe
| December 14th, 2008Who am I worthless that You spent such pains
and take may pains again?
I do not understand; but I believe.
Jonquils respond with wit to the teasing breeze.
