i've officially grown up...

became a costco member and bought a grill...for some reason, they feel like such grown up things to do.




...the fruits of the grill would be a little more savory with victories on the field...

Finally!!!

Well football season has been a disappointment, and sports usually seem to dominate my blog posts. So with the tough years for my teams...my blogging has suffered significantly. But after an 0-5 start...the Niners finally notched one in the "win" column...here's to ten more in a row eh? And the Horns recovered from their two game slide and right back into the top 25 with their big road win at Nebraska...two victories and a nice hill country trip rounded out my weekend quite well.


(thanks to my extremely talented wife for the pic here)

...good times.

I just have one question...

...are you ready for Friday night?









there are two times throughout the year that i consider magical...Christmas time...and the beginning of football season. with it comes such anticipation and hope for a good season...i seriously get so excited this time of year. you can see evidence of one such reason i love the game in these pics of the good ol glory days as a Churchill Charger. i played the great game of football from 3rd-12th grade...i have some great memories. this year i look for the niners to finally turn it around and take the nfc west (yes cannons...the same division the cardinals belong too)...and hopefully the young garrett gilbert can lead our horns to a big 12 championship...don't know what to expect from the cougs but i'll be pullin for em. so heres to tailgate parties, victories, and good times.

a whiter shade of pale

in my wise old age of 28, i'm realizing that i've been blessed with some amazing examples for parents. i've learned a lot from them and their influences on me. one thing in particular that i enjoy, is an interesting taste in music...i have fond childhood memories of listening to john denver, the beatles, the righteous brothers, the monkees, and so forth and so on. i still enjoy this music. (much to chrissy's chagrin) once in a while i'll have a small memory of part of a song and it drives me nuts until i can figure out what the song is....so this one has been bouncin around in my head for some time...and today, on an infomercial for a cd collection called "flower power" i found the long lost tune. i quite enjoyed kicking back and listening to procol harum's "a whiter shade of pale." good times my friends, turn up the sound and enjoy.




this video rocks...and so does that dude's stache.
