Hopefully they will both cash!
GO TEAM!

Why?
Because that’s what a good fiance does.
I could give a rats ass about the whole wedding stuff , because I just want the end result.
Me + Joanna = Forever. How we get there doesn’t matter.
Over this last weekend I heard about our getaway car, being specially rebuilt for this one special day and transported down by our favorite car builder Jeff Kruger. It’s a 1967 Ford Mustang Convertable.
When Joanna saw it, she was in love. They finally got the transmission working so it would go forward. For the longest time, it would only go in reverse. I blame not enough crown and too much sweat.
I can’t wait to see the final result.
Joanna and I have sent out the final set of invitations. Funny story, I sent out an invitation thinking that we had missed it, and got a call from a friend asking why they got two invitations. Yes, Joanna had sent one in the first batch, and the excuse of the wedding came in.
“You got two because we really, really want you there!”
Some of my friends and her friends aren’t going to be able to make it and we both understood. We both knew that because of the timing, people would have plans, and we would be blesses by whoever made it.
In other great news, we’re off to Oklahoma next weekend. Joanna and I are going to drive up to see Gary Cox, his wife Carrie and the meanest son of a bitch in the state of Oklahoma. ( I know it isn’t true, but I have to help his self esteem.
All we have to do is worry about gas, the Low Limit Grinder is putting us in the FABulous Okie Vegas Party Facilities in beautiful Fort Cobb lake, then we will be escorted by the MSOBITSOO to Stillwater where he has tickets for us to see his Oklahoma State Cowgirls take on MY Texas Tech Red Raiders.
It should be fun.
And a side note to Gary after yesterday’s bull with the kids…
It’s still business brother.

The music I play every day was dependent on Les Paul. Gone, too young, but a full life he led.
Happy Trails sir.

One of my childhood heroes was Mark Holtz. When I moved down to Texas, one of the many times I did, I was amazed by listening to the both the Mavericks and the Rangers with legend. He opened every Ranger baseball broadcast with “It’s Baseball time in TEXAS!”
I’d used to be taken on a path of amazement as he made the stRangers teams in the 80′s interesting to watch.
But recently I’ve noticed the total indifference about an award that I thought Mark should win. The Ford Frick award in broadcasting. Now some writers have made efforts in the past, Ex 1. , Ex 2. to have a Texas Ranger broadcasting legend be put into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Now before you nay sayers begin, they have members of the Montreal Expos Broadcasters in the HoF!
Why not Mark?
Hello Win Column is still placed on the scoreboard at the end of every Texas Ranger victory.
Why Not Mark?
Please Texas Rangers, do something right, support Mark Holtz in 2009.
Sincerly,
Texas Ranger Fan in Denial.
I saw the doc and he painfully removed the 54 staples and replaced them with steri-strips. So we are closer to full recovery.

Today we spent the majority of the day watching for santa. Yes St. Nick was on his yearly ride across the world and Shelby, Ryan and I were watching http://www.noradsanta.org to see the entire adventure. We watched the great cgi videos and examined different places around the world. As Santa hit the east coast Ryan came up to me and asked,
Daddy,
Is there really a Santa Claus?
and I read him the great New York Sun Editorial …
Dear Editor,
I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O’Hanlon
115 West Ninety-Fifth Street
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove?
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart.
Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus?
Thank God, he lives, and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
Yes Ry Ry, there is a Santa Claus!
