HuH???

It's camera day for me today at NewSpring. I ran the camera one ( close-ups ) for the first two services. We added a forth service starting today and now are splitting the camera duties into two shifts one for the mornings and one for the evenings. I was running the two morning services. I had a little trouble with a failing back focus adjustment about half-way through the second service, but was able to limp through with constant adjustment. Now after the service I know how to fix it. Learning more every week.
Kristie slept in and came to the second service today and afterwards we went to eat at Mishima with Amy, Joel and Ashley. We ate then hurried home to get the food together for homegroup. It was our turn to bring snacks. Kristie whipped-up some of her famous Mexi-chili cheese dip an chips. Some glorious sweet tea and a few cola's to take. We had not met for a couple weeks and I had missed it . Everyone was there and we enjoyed our fellowship time. We studied a Rob Bell video and surprisingly even though it was chosen several weeks ago it was the exact same subject of Perry's message today. Weird huh? That is not the first time that has happened. COOL !!!

Saturday morning sleeping in was cut short this week by a busy schedule. Ashley had her first Basketball game at the YMCA at 8:30. It was a hoot. Then over to A.U. to see the Boys and Girls play. The Girls were first and they were just off. So they had to fight hard to win 87-79. But it was closer than the score shows. St Andrews is a good team
Then the guys played and in a surprising blow out upset they beat the St Andrews boys team 69-48. Maybe they are coming together.
After a quick drive and changing clothes in a restroom we were attending the wedding of Paula And Jeremy. Such a cute couple. The wedding was held at the Phoenix Inn in Greenville as was the reception. We had a full dinner of traditional Puerto Rican and Costa Rican foods. And a great time. Good luck guys.

Looking for a partner. I can kick in the first $35 if you can swing the rest.

The Trojans play at home tonight. Actually just the Men. This was the first game since the holiday break. Unfortunately the guys looked like they'd been off two weeks. Just couldn't get it going. Played against North Greenville but lost 59-69. The next game is a double header Saturday, which is shaping up to be a really busy day. Early Ashley plays her first basketball game. Then the A.U. games starting at 2 pm. Finally Paula and Jeremy's wedding. Whew I am tired already.

I went back to the gym again this evening. Third day in a row I've gone. I though it would be good to go before the b*ball game at A.U. but it turned out to be a lot of trouble doing that. Plus it was much more crowded tonight. Seems at 5:30 a lot of kids have practice. I think I'll go tomorrow mid-morning after I run by Bud 's office for the meeting.

It's ready, join me in a cup?

Go Monk

Kristie, Kevin and I went to see We Are Marshall tonight night. I should start by saying I've been waiting on this movie was first announced nearly a year ago. I followed the filming news. As a hobby I study aircraft crashes and have well over 500 official accident reports in my office. The stories around this crash are intrigue me. I read the report again the day before seeing the movie. So my expectations going into this movie were off the charts. I expected them to deliver the story just as I had it in my mind and my heart.
In the first 10 minutes of movie, my expectations were satisfied. They paid attention to details. This movie delivered the story. I will admit I cried a some in this film. If you don't, then you are probably an uncaring newt. I've nothing but good things to say after seeing it. This film flows well. Just the way it needs to go. The acting in this movie is strong. McConaughey is interesting in his portrayal of Lengyel. Ian McShane does a fantastic job, as does David Strathairn. This movie is an amazing production with stunning visuals, tons of football action, and most importantly a truly moving story. I feel it is one of the best films of the year. GO SEE IT

It is a New Year. 2007 Some amazing things happened last year and I look for more this year. It was rainy and foggy New Years eve so no flying over the fire works like ever other recent year. But we had fun any way. First Richard, Kristie's brother, and his wife Lisa along with my niece and nephew Katlyn, and Logan ( "Uncle Buck" ) spent the first part of the night visiting with the rest of us. Kevin my other nephew was spending a few day with us so he could be here for the festivities. Amy, Joel and Ashley, following the tradition were here too, right where they belong co-hosting.

We had a good time eating and talking, eating and watching the TVcoverage, eating, playing games, eating and watching the new Pink Panther Movie, and then we all ate. We rang in the New Year with hugs and and a prayer for 2007, then we all slipped back to the den to eat a snack or two more. No fireworks and no flying but I still had a great time.
