According to my personal datebook, Chance’s birthday is today. He’s a very lucky young man to have a father who can draw really well because kids are very precise on what they want in a superhero piece. His dad is … Continue reading →

This weekend, we paid off Somara’s third student loan with Sallie Mae. Thanks to all those recent windfalls I had happen (Chase, Wells Fargo and the State Comptroller), I decided they were enough to put toward the remaining balance while … Continue reading →

Somara did a spectacular job taking pictures of this special pre-season game so I wasn’t going to let her efforts go to waste because the timeliness of them was on the verge of irrelevance, besides, I think it’s the first … Continue reading →

Our friends/co-workers Tracy and Dave are now the proud parents a baby girl named Leila, born on 9/22. You can see the mother and daughter here! We hope to see the little lady at work in the very near future.

Hooray it’s her birthday today. On the downside, we have to go to work. But after we’re done, I think we’re going to dinner at a place of her choice…Texas Land & Cattle. This birthday is very special because we’re … Continue reading →
