Lunch with Heath Pearce

The City of Frisco held an auction to benefit the Haiti earthquake relief efforts. There were a dozen or so celebrities that you could bid on and I was the high bidder on Heath Pearce. For those of you who don’t know, he’s a soccer player currently playing for FC Dallas. He’s [...]

Pit Stop at the Alamo

Jon, Brenda, and I made a pit stop in San Antonio on the way to Laredo today. As I write this, the Allen Americans are down 4-1 after the 2nd period. Hopefully I’ll be able to update this post later to say they pulled it back and won.
Edit: They didn’t. Allen lost 5-1 in [...]

Times Square

When I landed in New York yesterday, I drove into the city to pick up 2 coworkers before driving up to Connecticut.

First day of spring

I was wearing shorts yesterday. Monday’s forecast shows upper 60s. This is now:

Sign for Brandon Straub

I drew this tonight. Should I have 1″ buttons made and pass them out, or should I just make a sign? I’m thinking buttons

Popcorn!

Couch Surfers

I got a nice parting gift in the mail from Bank of America today. It won’t regain my business, but I’ll take it!
(I already applied it to my account, so don’t bother stealing the number)

Jarret Lukin

The players all went to Boston’s after the game and I got Lukin to sign my jersey.

Allen Americans Picnic

The Allen Americans hosted a picnic for the season ticket holders. MOOYA Burgers catered, and I was impressed. It’s hard to find good pickles in a restaurant, much less a catered burger. They delivered the goods. It was pretty cool hanging out with the players and chit chatting, and I also [...]

Warren & Susan…Engaged!

Lots of Susan posts this week. Warren P’d the Q on V-Day, and she said yes (duh).

iPod Jack for my car

Back when I got my car stereo in 2005, I plugged a cord into the auxiliary input so that I could listen to my iPod on the car speakers. Since then, that cord has been dangling from a hole in the dashboard. It’s not pretty. I’ve been meaning to create my own [...]

President’s Day

Who’s the goofus who went into work on a holiday?
