It snowed on Friday and it's been cold since, this is a leaf off our Red Oak tree laying in a shallow puddle of ice... A fitting picture for January 31.. Looks like Winter doesn't it?

February 14th starts the Chinese New Year... 2010 is the year of the Tiger in Chinese astrology so my customer in Tokyo, Yoshiki Takei, sent this "Good Fortune" Tiger to me as a New Year's gift. It has something written on the side in Kanji but I'm not sure what.

The new pizza at Domino's... new crust, new sauce, new cheese.. The crust was very good, the sauce a bit spicy.. overall an improvement over their old version. This one is hamburger and black olive, the best ever!

Sarah & Travis enjoying the great food at Mi Cocina... Looks like Sarah has her mouth full..
Jenny wasn't feeling well and had to leave early, but she got to miss the extreme noise level upstairs, it registered 80 decibels on Travis' iphone app!

Tonight we had a beautiful sunset, one sure to please all the sailors.. red sky at night, sailors delight; red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.. actually has a Biblical basis..Mat 6:1-3

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

Sarah's favorite Starbucks on Loop 288 in Denton.. I've decided the Cafe Americano is my favorite, its just 2 shots of espresso and hot water, all you have to do is add cream.. its not full of sugar so a tall has only 10 calories (before you add the cream) so its OK to eat a doughnut with it!

I stopped at Walgreens to buy BC Powder, the best cure for a bad headache, and noticed they have a wine section.. which seemed odd to me.. really, who buys wine at Walgreens? Do these same people buy Advil at Siegel's?

This is Cappy's cousin Tucker from Kentucky...
Posing for his glamor shot!

Gribble Springs is so tiny that this church is the only thing there...
Yet their website states.. "The friendliest church in Gribble Springs", a bit odd.

Good advise though!

Our ski trip to Santa Fe last month marked 30+ years of skiing for Susan & me... I think a photo anthology is in order.. Starting with 1978!

OK, I took this pic in November... Its Lincoln's Gettysburg address, the one on the wall at the Lincoln Memorial in DC, stylized a bit using Photoshop.... It concludes with:

...this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government: of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Baby Tigger (aka meow cat) hiding under our bed from Max... it all started when Max saw the flash from my camera, which he thought was lightning, he freaked and tried to hide under the bed where the cat was... needlless to say bad stuff happened.
This cat is so private most people have never seem her.. so here she is.

Its Max our giant white German Shepherd
who lumbers along with doggy arthritis.
He loves to eat and to go to work with me in
the mornings.

The squirrel, who sometimes lives in our
Bradford pear tree, came back today and
drove Cappy and Max crazy.

January 8th and the tree is still up!
Anyone else do this?

The Old Fashion Cake donuts are the best! Easy to eat while your driving, not too sweet, great with coffee, can be eaten any time of the day, just about perfect! America really does run on Dunkin'!

The sign in front of the Aurora Baptist Church in tiny Aurora, Texas. Good advise.


Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Heb 13:8

The outdoor wireless antenna I installed at A+ RV Park in Alvord Texas. It gets an excellent signal from 1/2 mile! L-Com Global Connectivity has dozens of antennas for every WLAN application you can think of.

The part inside the toilet that starts leaking and has to be replaced after 10 years. The new one claimed to be able to be installed without tools. It lied.

Leaving Santa Fe and heading back to Texas after spending 5 great days skiing, shopping, eating and having fun with the family.

The miraculous staircase inside the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe New Mexico. An incredible feat of engineering, craftsmanship, and artistry all rolled up in one.
