2013 Dreaming

Looking for some cool things to do in 2013.  So far thinking of

Hawaii in May

Driving trip with Bennett again in the Prius.  Mall of America?

Longhorn 70.3 in October in Austin
Cap Tex Olympic Triathlon again?

Texas/OU weekend
Texas A&M game - Vanderbilt at home?
TMLT golf on October 14

The year is filling up!

Worldwide

Looking at my pageview stats, its interesting how a blog with only 3 registered followers can have as many hits (e.g.  6 on my last post).  Thanks Mom!

It was back to swimming this evening.  I had decided I was going to go and I did.  Its amazing how much more you can accomplish when you plan to leave work at a certain time.  Unfortunately my ankle was kind of bothering me still, so I'm planning to have it checked out from my sprain 4 weeks ago.  I'd had to be in this position at the end of November in the same situation.

NBA season started tonight with Boston v. Miami.  Now LA Lakers v. Dallas is on.   All Star Game is in Houston this February.  Maybe I'll go.  I would like to catch a Rockets game in the Toyota Center.  Funny saying that, even Sterling McCall smiles when he hears that.  Not a bad investment for him in the late 60s, a Japanese car maker.

Tomorrow is Halloween so we have lots of candy to give out.  And when its gone, lights out!

Sunday October 28

This was a welcome weekend home.  The first cold front of the year came in Friday night, and so Saturday morning was a cool one for the 5th annual Ride Against Cancer.  I sponsored part of the ride so I wanted to partcipate.  I did the 20 mile ride and was happy that my ankle held up OK, but it's still not 100% for hard training.  Between the exercise and the early start, I took a long nap that afternoon after watching UT barely escape Lawrence KS with a win over Kansas. Hard to tell which UT team will show up any given week.

Today after church, Susan and I went shoe shopping.  Afterwards we had to clean out part of the closet to make room.  

I went to see two movies this weekend, Argo on Friday night and Cloud Atlas on Sunday.  Check out all my reviews on SouthLandView.BlogSpot.com

Tuesday night - October 16

The Presidential Debate # 2 was tonight.  I watched as much as I could before I felt the need to switch over to baseball.  Much easier to see who wins the baseball game:  Tigers 2, Yankees 1,  Tigers up 3-0 in best of 7.

The NL series is a good one also with the Giants v. Cards.

Working on the fall schedule, I'm going to Houston for the UH Law 20th reunion this weekend and Susan to Austin for AD Pi initiation.  I asked Susan if she remember initiation and she did not.  I look forward to asking Kate that same question.  Kate is going up for support also.  Should be a good family weekend for all of them.

My friend Erich is in town as the honored guest of Weslaco H.S.  He's working with them to do another balloon launch to "near Space" (100,000 feet) like he and his friend Rich Garcia did.
We had lunch today and it was a real pleasure to be around him.  I'm already planning a trip to visit him in May 2013 in Hawaii.  Already checked the flights! Start saving now.

Seeing my posts, it looks like Tuesday night is the blog night.  I'll have to get with it again.
