Danelle had three pieces in a local art show run by our wonderful neighbor. The evening was a lot of fun, and several people commented on the two-canvas sailboat pinting. The result? She got fourth place of the 33 artists at the event. (Don’t tell anyone, but Corvin voted twice!!)

Many people look at TV shows like The Jetsons in awe at what the future will be like. Go to a large airport and you’ll see a people mover. Every day, the automated future gets closer. More restrooms now offer automatic flushing, automatic sinks, and automatic towls or air driers. The benefits to hygene are … Continue reading “A Wonderful Destruction”

With the wedding over, it was the day where family started to all go their own way. None of us were anxious to leave as we don’t all get together this often. Several people were going on to Corpus Christi, Texas for the rest of their vacation. I’m not sure what we were thinking, but … Continue reading “Family Vacation Part 7 – 7/9/2012”

The first run was 16 miles and I didn’t think too … Continue reading “Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction”
Danelle and I enjoy following the growth of our friend’s kids. Mason is now turning three. He’s quickly becoming a big kid and speaking tons. After all the festivities were done, it was to the common area to throw a football for the boys!
Danelle and Kelly went to the U2 360 concert. Like any concert, they came home talking about how amazing it was and the effect. I’ll let the video and photos speak for themselves though!
