Went to Bark in the Park in San Jose Today

Today we took Hurley and Lacey's parents (Sandi and Gary) to the Bark in the Park today. The weather was great and the vendors passed out a ton of samples (treats and food..yummm). Some of the dogs had costumes, Hurley was wearing his UT jersey since UT was playing Texas Tech this afternoon.

After we left the park, we had lunch over at Yankee Clipper in Santana Row and then after that back to the apartment. I did speak with Kristian today and he is going through rush at North Texas and he and Kelli are enjoying themselves. He plays a lot of ping pong in the dorm/rec center and seems to be adjusting fine. He wants to pledge Delta Sigma Phi so I will have to do some research on them.

Changes at Work

Well we had a reorg yesterday and it looks like several of the VPs and Sr. Directors that I work with are moving into other areas. My QA team today found out that I was moving back to Austin to work in the development area and I will say that they were not very happy. I will have to reassure them that they are in good hands with Michael at the helm...Time will tell I guess.

BTW, tomorrow is Hurley's 2nd birthday...Happy Birthday little guy!!!

Happy Day for Me and KB Back in May

I went to Kristian's high school graduation back in May and it was in the UT Coliseum with a ton of folks there. This is a picture that Cecile took of me and Kristian outside after the ceremony. I am very proud of him and how he has managed to get all of his college stuff figured out. He is going to the University of North Texas and wants to major in Education with a minor in Music. I look forward to seeing him next month when we are moved back to Texas. I will be able to go up there and see him from time to time...on the way up to Denton, we could stop by and visit Taylor.

Hurley at Carmel Beach

Sometime ago when we first went to Carmel Beach on a windy and chilly day when Taylor was visiting over the Christmas break, Hurley decided that we needed to run on the beach and boy did we have a hard time keeping up with him. He just loves the beach and the surf...my kinda dawg....

Sausalito Art Festival was Great!!

Cecile and I are getting close to heading back to Austin after being in the bay area for just over a year. We had not been to Sausalito which is right across the Golden Gate Bridge across the bay from San Francisco in a cove right on the bay. The art festival is a very big event with high-end artists. Funny thing we saw as a painting that someone was trying to sell or 14,000 dollars!!! Weather and food was outstanding as you can see from the pics.

Let's go see the Saints play the Raider Nation

A few Sunday's back, Cecile and I heard that the Saints were playing a football game against the Oakland Raiders and let me tell you the game was a trip. Great weather...just a bit hot. Insane Saints and Raiders fans cracked us up. Oakland's stadium is really old and in a very sketchy part of Oakland but it is part of the the NFL lore for sure.
