I wanted to wish all my family and friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 2007 has been a good year for us and here’s looking forward to an even better 2008. Â
Back in August, knowing that Maggie would be graduating this semester, we planned a celebration trip to Las Vegas. This past weekend Maggie graduated with a degree in English and on Sunday we left for Sin City. We were already booked into a pretty nice hotel, The Wynn Las Vegas, and when we went to […]

If you’re like me, you’ve subscribed to a ton of Blog feeds. I was up to around 200 until I read a friend of mine Will’s post about consuming blogs. That post has changed my blog reading life. I went from having hundred’s of unread posts when I got home to my Newsreader, to maybe […]
The Human Calendar is pretty cool. It took me a minute to “get it” that all the other people in the calendar were looking at today’s date. Pretty neat.
Well, the NHL season is a little over a quarter of the way complete. So far, the Stars have been very inconsistent ( except for that nice 6 game winning streak last week ). They started the season very uneven and lost some real heartbreakers. The most brutal of which was the game against the […]
I think it’s something about the music that makes this somewhat disturbing
Been a long while since I’ve posted. In that time we’ve had Halloween where Brenden went as a adorable dragon ( pic at Maggie’s site ) . We also went to Maggie’s sister’s wedding in California and has a great time. Well, except for Brenden not having the best sleeping patterns. You know, like screaming […]
Avalanche 4, Stars 3 At least this game didn’t remain the blowout it was becoming. I’m also glad that Morrow came back. That was a nasty spill he took. I’m guessing he broke his nose. And I’m guessing it’s going to be another year of the Comeback Kids. I just wish the Stars would play […]
Tomorrow the start of the 2007-2008 NHL Season and I’m pumped up for it. Well, I guess technically, the season started over the weekend in London, but that was almost like exhibition games. Tomorrow is the real start when all the teams in the league get going. And that includes my beloved Dallas Stars. They […]
Over the past couple of days I’ve had two distinct “getting older” moments. The first was while talking to one of the new guys at work and discussing a movie, which one, I don’t quite remember. His response was “that movie was before my time”, and I was like “but that was like the late […]
Over Labor Day weekend, Maggie, Brenden and I went to Denver to visit friends of mine and their 3 boys. Did I mention we drove there? 13 hours of driving there. I was actually amazed at how well Brenden did with being confined for that long. It did make us alter our return drive to […]
Two weeks ago Weird Al made a stop in the DFW area. He was supposed to play in McKinney, but the venue got a little to soggy ( it was outdoors ) and the event was moved to Garland to their “Special Events Center”. This of course caused some major headaches with seating and such, […]
For the first time in my life, I have read a book straight through without taking a break for silly things like sleeping ( Maggie was up with me, no idea if that’s happened to her before ). Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows is well worth the wait and all the reading leading up to […]
