I upgraded WordPress, and haven’t figured out how to import all of the entries that are here. However, if you click over to www.pruetts.com/jeff/, you can read about all the interesting things I have to say these days.

Eventually I’ll write some kind of script that redirects automatically. For now, click here to see Jeff Pruett’s new Blog.

Oh yeah, Kristen has a new Blog, too.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Isaac slept through the night for the first time two nights ago. Kristen and I both woke up a little bit surprised - but also well rested. Hopefully this is just a sign of things to come =).

We’ve been busy keeping up with the little guy - he’s rolling over, trying to crawl, and laughing all the time. I continue to be amazed at how much he can communicate without words. It’s crazy how quickly his little mind picks things up.

Well, the fun nevers stops around here - so I’m off to bed in anticipation of an interrupted night. Hopefully, Isaac will prove me wrong.

Words are the most effective weapons of death in man’s arsenal. But they can also be powerful tools of life. They may be the only ones.

I did what I believed to be the ordinary things that an ordinary man would do. I said no to outrageous actions the way I thought that anybody would, and it still mystifies me that so many others could say yes.

Well, the final was anti-climactic. UCLA never really had a chance as Florida just had too much talent in the NCAA finals tonight. Fortunately the Bruins are young, and we may get to see them again next year in the tournament. Hopefully they’ll continue to improve and come back even stronger next season.

I’ve always been a UCLA fan when it comes to the NCAA Tournament each March. That heritage comes from my Grandfather, who was an assistant coach for Wooden during summer clinics way back when UCLA owned this Tournament.

Thursday’s win was a thrill to watch - but only the last few minutes. The game was torture! UCLA seemed to just stare at the zone - and was content to hoist 3-pointers all night while the steadily lost ground to the Gonzaga team. Then they turned it on with 3 1/2 minutes left and somehow snuck out a victory from 9 points down! It was awesome.

They play again today at 4. Guess where I’ll be.

Isaac got to meet his Great Grandparents this past weekend. He’s the first great-grandchild on my mom’s side of the family.

Good and Evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.
