There are only three stations in Memphis and I have yet to go when I don’t have to wait in line for at least an hour. Each year I am trying to figure out when the lines might be shortest and have yet to guess right. Insert webcams! Now I can go online and study the ebbs and flows of vehicle inspection in Memphis. Thanks to @greggwitt for the link!

But I am over it now. This last weekend was the 1st Annual MLK Metro Volleyball Tournament held at the Memphis Cook Convention Center. It was a great event! Over 100 team played in the first tournament with all volunteer help paving the way to a successful tournament. Our team did very well with some great play on Sunday and went on to take 1st place in the Silver Flight.

Great job Metro and great play girls!

I follow a few feeds like @wsj and thought surely they do not manually push all their posts to twitter. I noticed recently that they are using a service called twitterfeed. With just a few bits of info, and a few minutes to remember my open ID I setup my account at twitterfeed. Now every blog entry gets pushed to twitter. I think I just tripled my readership!

Blue Steel is our 2002 Ford Excursion land yacht. When you have as many kids as we do you need some room to move around. Blue Steel has been to Colorado twice, the beach more times than I can count, and has cranked every time that we ever asked her to. Other than gas, oil, and tires there is almost nothing that we have done for her; though she does take A LOT of gas which this last summer was not very much fun.

We are very grateful for Blue Steel and the service that she has provided to the Nelson family. We have prayed over her more than a few times to thank God for providing such a wonderful and reliable car for all the kids and Catch. Today, Blue Steel reached a milestone in her life and flipped 100,000 miles. We will celebrate tonight as a family.
