Mike's Big 40 Celebration

Mike and Mom

Well, the big 40 finally came for my brother Mike. We had a nice birthday party for him and all the family and his friends downtown in Austin at a really cool place--J. Black's Feel Good Lounge.
We decorated the inside, ate lots of food and enjoyed some good refreshments. It was fun seeing all of Mike's old friends, Roger, Brandon, Todd, Mike, and some of his co-workers. Everyone else from the family was there hanging out and having a good time.
The pictures were difficult to take since the lighting inside was so low, but I salvaged a few, enjoy...and Happy Birthday Mike.

Nickie and Lory

Hello 2009

My Dad's Burial Site

Well, I hope that 2009 is better for me than 2008. Losing my Dad has been very difficult and hard to deal with. I think about him everyday, all the time. I think I had an anxiety attack as everything just hit me all at once like a ton of bricks. Luckily I had Lory there to help me, follow me to the hospital and stay with me for the next few days.
I have tried to stay busy with work and preparing for all my racquetball events for 2009. I will be going to Austin this weeknd for Mike's birthday and also for the Longhorn Open Racquetball Tournament. My doubles partner Eddie injured his shoulder so no doubles for us. I am thinking about buying a new digital camera so I can post some great quality pictures. It always feels good to buy a new toy.

2008 Year In Review

Wow, I can't believe 2008 is already gone and here we are in 2009. I bought my Flip Video in August and have had fun with it since day one. Here are some of my favorite clips from some of the videos I shot while traveling for racquetball or with family. I hope you all enjoy it and leave me a comment if you like.
