Wesley Holland

Laurie and I went to Galveston last weekend and left Chompsky with some friends of ours who have a little puppy named Chewie.  New super-cute pictures in the Chompsky album of him playing with his new BFF.

Laurie and I got a Bichon Frise puppy named Chompsky (a purposefully misspelled homage to Noam Chomsky).  You can see pictures of him here.  He has a bad case of BPS (Blurry Puppy Syndrome); this is caused by an energetic puppy moving so fast that he cannot be captured accurately on film.

About a week ago I was contacted by another Wesley Holland, who was surprised to find that there was a website with his name on it.  He’s a computer science major a couple years behind me in school.  I’d like to give a shout out to Wesley E. Holland, Jr. and his father Wesley Holland [...]

Today Laurie and I went to view about 10 houses with our realtor.  While viewing the last house, Laurie led the way up the stairs and into the master bedroom.  She stopped directly in front of me and said, “Is that a real squirrel?”  I looked and said, “No - I think it’s stuffed.”  At [...]

This blog seems to be turning into a biannual newsletter.  Let me summarize what’s been going on since my last post.
In September, Lindsey came to Austin to celebrate her birthday.  Unbeknownst to her, Michael and Ted arrived secretly a couple hours before her.  We all surprised her at the airport - it was probably the [...]

Mine and Laurie’s apartment was broken into last night while we were at her birthday party. We got home and the front door was chained from the inside. I went around back to see about the status of the back door; it was completely unlocked and unchained (we basically leave it locked and [...]

I graduated, but I didn’t walk in the ceremony. I now have a M.S. in Computer Engineering. I’ve tried getting all my friends to call me “Master Holland,” but no dice.
Laurie and I are moving next week to Austin, where we’ve found a really nice two bedroom apartment in a gated apartment complex. [...]

Laurie and I spent Christmas down in Florence. After that we drove up to the Liberty Bowl with Amanda Pinion and Sarah Crowe. There, we met Moug, Dirtbag, Amanda (Ringer), Nathan, Craig, and Spencer. We hung out on Beale Street, but the most fun was when we went to GRACELAND!!!! Pictures here.
