Master’s Week Reminiscing

In 2000, I had the privilege to go to the Master’s (Augusta National Golf Club) for the first time. Television, video, and photography give us just a glimpse into the beauty and history of one of the greatest courses and tournaments in golf.
The pictures to the left are Tom Lehman on the 14th Tee [...]

Things to do in 08

Here is my list of things (goals, priorities, interests) to do in 2008 (in no particular order):

New blogs. Yeah…that’s right, blogs in the plural is not a typo. I don’t know if it’s a cultural influence thing or just natural, but I like variety, and it’s time to change/upgrade this blog. I have already [...]

Surprises, 30, and Cali

They say it’s my birthday! Well, it’s actually on Sunday, the 21st. I will be turning 30. Man…the years go by quick. However, I have gone back to the hair-do I had in my younger days, as you can see in this picture. Long and crazy.
My wife finally let me in on the surprise for [...]

Chicago Trip Part II

More photos from the trip. This picture is at the top of a 15 story Ferris Wheel on Navy Pier overlooking the lake front.

Here is a painting at the Art Institute by Georges Seurat entitled, “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte.” This is the painting in the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” where as [...]

Chicago Trip

Just got back from a weekend trip to Chicago. We had a great time. It was fun visiting a big city. We experienced the train rides, Wrigley Field (kind of), deep dish pizza from Giordano’s, the Art Institute, the “Magnificent Mile”, the 96 floor Hancock Building, and the diversity of people. Here are a few [...]

Trip to Augusta

We just got back from visiting my Opa (Grandfather) in Augusta, Ga. My Opa has cancer and the doctor’s say that he has up to a year to live. So the trip was bitter sweet because we got to spend time with him, my mom, sister, and nephew but it might be the last time [...]

We Survived Youth Camp

Just returned from youth camp this weekend and we survived, barely. We attended an all Hispanic Youth Camp in Florida and I guess our youth enjoyed themselves because they want to go back next year. I told my wife that if our church returned we would need back-up. The picture above gives you a hint.
I [...]

Road Trip

Just got back from Las Vegas with the family. First time for my wife. She enjoyed checking out all the beautiful hotels and lights on the strip but didn’t enjoy breathing in a couple packs of cigarettes from all of the smoke in the casinos. Overall we had a great time eating, shopping, and [...]
