I am enjoying the new camera…

I had to get a new camera because the last one that I’ve had for 9 years finally died.  I was so sad, and it was a battle just to decide on which type of camera I was going to get, but Joanna finally took my wallet out of my pocket after week 5 of looking at different cameras and told me;

“Just buy the damn thing!”

So, Shelby and Ryan’s pictures this time around are going to be sharper better and I finally bought something for ME!

Enjoy a West Texas sunset.

And OhCaptain, you and me HAVE to talk!

To my love Joanna…

My brain works a thousand miles an hour but when you are directing traffic, everything goes where it needs to be.

My soul has been hurting until you came along and smoothed over the rough and sharp portions of it, tailoring it to what we BOTH needed.

My heart had been lost, without fire or spirit, but with you I have new energy and try to find successes in every path I take.

You are my lover, my friend, my soul mate , friend and guide to my children and the one person I trust implicitly.

I love you now and forever. Though I am far from perfect you see past my flaws and see the true me, the diamond in the rough.

And for that I will always love you my dear.

How much do I love you?

Take a breath, and while you hold it imagine the millions of atoms in that one breath.

My love for you is like the collection of all the atoms in the universe.

Now exhale and remember that my love does not question, it just is.

I love you!

Sean

Working on Miracles…

No, not the USA Curling team who blew yet another game tonight.  WHY OH WHY did we let Charlie Brown skip our team? We’re the laughing stock of curling. Wait a min. That means nothing.

I’m working on Miracles in Audio for my favorite time of year, the CMN Radiothon at work.  I think I tug at the heartstrings enough.

Stand by on the 25th, 26th and 27th.  My job is to make people feel.

What do you think?

My creation

I would like you all to just do me a favor and say a prayer / send good thoughts and if in the Lubbock area consider making a pledge to the CMN Radiothon.

For those 3 days, I’ll be part of a team trying to raise $250,000 for the UMC Children’s Hospital.

And every dollar we get stays in Lubbock.

So be part of the miracle…

And if you aren’t in Lubbock, you can listen online.

This is the one time I break my rule about not posting about work on my personal blog.  But every year I ask, and I am amazed at the end result every year.

The city of Lubbock Traffic Dept… SUCKS!

But we have great news from the insurance company…

They found that since we have evidence that there have been reports of problems with the traffic light and since there are multiple errors on the police report, plus a lengthy delay by the City of Lubbock to provide details from the traffic signal…

They will not pay ANY of the bills for the person who hit Joanna’s truck as there is enough evidence that she was NOT at fault.

WHEW!

That’s a relief!

Joanna’s leg is healing quite nicely and the search for a new vehicle is continuing.

So we take it one day at a time.

Whew!

I love hole in the wall restaraunts

I’ve had a ton of Chinese food in this town.  And Lubbock has it’s assortment of Chinese buffets and small Choo Chai’s etc.

But tonight…

I found the place I’ll be at on Saturday nights for Chinese.

It’s Gilbert’s!

Gilbert Auyeung is the man because he makes one hell of a family style meal. It’s five courses and appetizers.

We started with pork spare ribs served with a spicy horseradish or a sweet and sour sauce on the side.  The meat fell off the bones and was perfect.

Next was a tasty egg roll that was great because the key to a good egg roll is the pastry, is it doughy or is it cooked just right.  You should know what version everybody gets at Gilbert’s

The first main course came with a beef with asparagus.  Now this was spicier that I had expected but it was incredibly tasty.

Next was beef and mushrooms served on a sizzling plate that came straight from the oven

Rice was served here almost as a palate changer.

Sweet and Sour Pork that Joanna could tell was great just by the first bite of the pineapple. It disappeared quickly from the table.

More rice was brought out now.

Ginger Chicken: Now Joanna thought this had too much ginger, I didn’t think it had enough.

General Tso Shrimp: My friend Chris , whose birthday party it was reminded me that before this course, “Sean, this is a marathon and not a sprint.” I reminded him to stop looking at the shrimp that I pulled off to my plate.

Tender, perfectly seasoned.

Just a perfect meal.

Now here’s the best thing, it’s family style, so they just bring out big plates of food for you to eat and eat.  The bad thing… you have to have reservations for the Saturday special, and DON’T come late, because if you do… your table MAY be gone!

Diners , Drive-In’s and Dives should definitely check this one out.

I thought I was going to a birthday dinner for a friend with 16 other people. I came back finding a new hole in the wall to take people I like. I won’t bring people I don’t like here… not sharing!
