Well....
On Friday Erin and I went to Ft. Worth to stay with Brandy Patrick! Brandy cooks amazing food....we had amazing treats.....mmmmm....... We got there Friday night after two hours in Houston traffic...... grrrrr...... two hours to the east or north or west of SLC and you can be in a different state.... two hours in Houston and you're still in Houston. The good news is that our AC is going out in Erin's car so we had the whole road trip to roast......
Travel woes aside, the trip was a lot of fun..... we have a habit of staying up quite late with Brandy! We were up 'till 2ish watching a movie on Friday night..... and had planned on leaving Sat. night so we could have Sunday for recovery..... well on Saturday we went boating with Brandy, Marylin, and Doug... and we were met for boating by my roomie from Seattle, Jason Brewer! So that was a lot of fun.... we also visited a fast food joint which came highly recommended by Clint Roberts..... Taco Bueno.... and their tacos were indeed bueno.
So we got done with boating around 7:30 and decided to stay one more night..... Marylin and Doug made a feast for Brandy, Erin and I (readers will note that Marylin is Brandy's mom - who lives in Grapevine) which included steaks, grilled veggies... salad... potatoes etc. it was excellent!
On Sunday we returned home, two happy campers.... of course when we walked in the door the Broncos had fumbled on the 2 yrd. line and proceeded to suck until we left for church which really had me steamed (especially after the Utes inept offensive performance on national TV.... weak Utes..... weak). But the Broncos did win despite their best efforts.....
On Thursday I am going to play some keeper for a local side! Houston has a really well developed league w/ 7 divisions that function similar to English football with the opportunity to move to a higher division if you win your league. This side - Atlas Lions I think... is composed primarily of Moroccan players... so I think that will be a lot of fun - not just because it's football, but the cultural experience should be a lot of fun!
Anyway - Erin started a new block of classes - so the stress begins anew.
peace.

Egads man, that's even bigger than Phoenix. (I thought Phoenix was a big place when I lived there.)
Jake,
Any concern on your end over Hurricane Rita? Seems to be tracking your way.

Jake, are you guys going to be okay? That's a mean piece of weather out there.
Grace, Peace, V, and Hz.
