It never rains in California

January 31st, 2007 · Comments Off

I don’t think this is really true. I am sitting in Immanuel BC in Highland, CA right now and it is overcast and it had rained this a.m.
The flight from DFW was delayed for almost 2 hours due to snow at DFW. We were waiting for them to de-ice the plane, [...]

Weird weather?

Wow! I cannot believe the game I got to watch on New Year’s night. It was a spectacular event!
Last January, I was fortunate enough to see the Longhorns play USC for the championship. Watching Vince Young score the winning touchdown was just incredible. It was as if he willed [...]

Happy New Year

January 3rd, 2007 · Comments Off

The new year is already 3 days old! Wow, does time fly!
Since I don’t have continuous access to the internet, updating my site takes a back seat to just getting email done (which I am WAYYYY behind in doing…). I am behind with the holidays and with traveling for 3 weeks.
