Check out my friend Darren at the Alamo Dome for Tech’s run to the NCAA championship (he is the E, and yes that is a light saber in his hand!)

And no, I wasn’t jealous of him for going without me!!!

Here is the image for your viewing ease:

I used to work with him:

He is getting married soon and I just wanted to say best wishes.

So we have secured tickets to see Cirque du Soleil’s “O” instead of Mystere, and since we are staying in the hotel where it shows, we got special seating… 2nd ROW (section 104, row B)!!! A little more then I wanted to spend, but how often will I get to see this show on the 2nd Row… not often.

We also secured some outfield seats (section 104, row 23) to the May 31st game between the Arizona Diamondback’s and the San Francisco Giants! If you couldn’t tell, we are a little excited about this trip.

We have also decided that we would like to check out the Heard Museum, and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West Museum, while we are in Pheonix / Scottsdale. Any other suggestions would be appreciated… just click on “Add a Comment” below.

Sherry and I have just dropped the Ciz-ash on a little trizip we like to call our 2 year anniversary. We have opted to stay state side versus crossing the big pond. Sherry has wanted to check out the midwest so we are going to the desert. Here is our itenerary:

We are heading out Saturday, May 29th to Phoenix (Sky Harbor Intl.) touching down at 10:29 am. We will then rent a car, and head to our fancy hotel, The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, where we will unpack, take in some sights, and then go to a “dive-in” movie (movies that you can watch while you are in the pool).

We are going to stay 3 nights in Phoenix / Scottsdale and then head out on June 1st to the Grand Canyon. We are only going to do the drive-by tour, but it should still be a wonderful thing to see. We have alotted two hours or so there since after driving there we have to head over to LAS VEGAS, BABY!!! Sherry and I have decided to continue the pimpin and stay at The Bellagio, since last time I was in vegas I was most impressed with it. We also plan on checking out the Cirque du Soleil production, Mystere, while in town.

After 3 nights in Vegas we are heading home to return to a life of working for the Man.

But needless to say, we are very excited about our little trip. Tony and Jo might also be going to Vegas at the same time so it would be cool to have some friends there to hang with.

Thanks for a great season Tech. Last night was rough… but getting there was an amazing experience, and next year you won’t be so shell shocked by the whole experience. Keep up the summer practices and next year will be a very nice thing indeed.

Check out my friend Anne’s tale of being born a Tech fan… pretty humorous, cause it’s true.

Well I have met my new year resolution…. to loss 30 pounds. I weighed 204 this weekend for the first time in about a decade. I can SQUEEZE into a size 36 pair of pants (been wearing size 40 for the last 8 years), but a 38 fits comfortably. The only reason that I know I can fit into a 36 is because Sherry’s “Papa” (pronounced Papaw) gave me around 15 suits this weekend. Everyone was quite impressed with my fashion show when I tried them on. Although my voice was a little higher then normal, I was able to zip everything up and didn’t rip any of them. Hopefully in a few weeks they will start to fit a little better.
