My Son Is on the DL

Last Saturday, while trying to keep up with his bigger cousins at a soccer game, Sam fell and hurt his left arm. He favored it the rest of the day, crying whenever he tried to pick anything up -- or push himself up -- with it. We thought that, maybe, his wrist was either strained or sprained, but, by Monday morning, he seemed to be better. The arm didn't seem to bother him, as he was using it as he normally would and not acting like it hurt.

Yesterday, as a precaution, Melissa took him to the doctor. X-rays showed a tiny fracture just above his wrist. He's now in cast, and will be for the next three weeks -- including the week we're on vacation.

Neither Melissa nor I have ever broken a bone. I have to tell ya, it just breaks my heart every time I look at him.

I'll post some pics soon.

My (Amended) Future in Blogging

A quick announcement...about my earlier announcement...

This blog is staying put. For now.

• While I am creating a new BillColrus.com, which will serve as a resume/personal life/personal projects reference site, it won't be done for quite some time. This site will continue to act as my main blog in the interim. I will be tweaking it, however.

• Though Newspinion.org, my new news and opinion site is now live, my possible involvement in another kinda similar Web project might signal its early demise. (Timing can be odd sometimes, can't it?)

• I am still also developing a spiritual study and discussion site. It's formulation, objectives, and approach are, yes, still being ironed out, but it's a topic I've been wanting to write about for awhile, and I'm still excited to do so.

• The Chattanooga Film Blog remains -- and will continue to remain -- deceased.

• Also, I am now twittering. (See right.)

If you hadn't noticed, I enjoy blogging about what I'm gonna blog about.

My Picks for Most Beautiful North Shore Locations

1. Ziggy's.
2. Krystal.
3. That building where Melonhead's used to be.
4. The Small Business Development Center.
5. The vacant Northside Lunch building.
6. The vacant floorcoverings building at Coolidge Park.
7. The vacant Pruett's building.
8. That parking lot where Tubby's used to be.
9. The Nautilus Building.
10. The vacant Electric Mouse building.

I would like to personally state my relief that neither the Coolidge Hotel nor the condos on Stringer's Ridge were built. The absence of these developments marks sensational community efforts to preserve the beauty of the North Shore area.
