My 2nd Father’s Day!

Posted in: General- Jun 15, 2008 No Comments

Well, I am enjoying being a father. Arthur is a delight. He is a lot of work for Sarah and I, but he rewards us in so many ways that it makes it easy to forget that we practically do everything for him. It has been nice in this month since I have been out of school to slow down a bit and soak up some of the other tasks of mowing the yard, playing with Arthur when I get home, etc.

I am happy to be a dad. It really is an amazing responsibility. It is ever-challenging in new ways but like I said before, it is rewarding in just the right number of ways.

Louisiana Tech Has Its Own Bulldog Logo!

Posted in: General- Jun 13, 2008 No Comments
The athletic department at Louisiana Tech has taken some serious steps to up their graphic identity. They now have a trademarked bulldog logo that is all their own as well as a few different logo layouts that will come to represent Louisiana Tech Athletics in the future. These are two of the images that have been worked into the Tech Athletic Graphic Standards.(This Logo utilizes “LA TECH” which, like it or not, is how Tech is referred to in the athletic world.)

(This Logo displays a version of the Athletic wordmark and the new bulldog logo that is exclusively Tech’s”

I am really proud that they have done this. I just wish they would have done it sooner. Go Bulldogs!

New Blog Design. New Phase of Life.

So, I thought it’d be best to update my blog since it was plastered with my caricature and Ron Paul propaganda. Ron Paul OFFICIALLY dropped out of the race last evening, although most wrote him off months ago. 

It’s a new day for us Richeys and I thought I’d give my blog an update in look to reflect that. TTFN.

Randy Newman

Posted in: General- Apr 15, 2008 No Comments

My uncle Rodger and I are scheduled to go see Randy Newman in Lafayette on April 28. I am really excited about it. Randy Newman really fascinates me. He doesn’t “wow” me, just intrigues me. He is a political satirist who really has a unique sound. He is no cookie-cutter singer/songwriter. He is his own breed. His music still carries even without the band backing him up. He is much older now than these YouTube videos. Hope your palette is whetted:

“Intelligent satire meets willful cruelty.”
