This is actually ball number 3. The first two were punctured by various methods. I'm saying this is the last one. Watching someone bounce up and down on a ball while you're trying to watch television is very annoying. I've been told to get over it.

I just received 5 free copies of the magazine with my published article. The online version has been up for a month but it was kind of cool to get the hard copy.

Ergomates

Ergomates, for those of you who don't know is a product invented by a friend of mine and now is a company run by a few of my friends. Today, this article was posted in a business magazine.

Dad hits 100!

My Dad just emailed me to tell me he hit 100 geocaches. It's been just over a year since he started so I'd say he's doing quite well. He's going to work hard on his second 100 while in Lakeland.


He also has his sites set on 74. That's the golf score he hopes to shoot this year to match his age.

Paula's new smile

Paula has always hated getting her picture taken. Lately she has developed a new strategy using what I call her "fake smile". She's been getting several compliments and I on the other hand have had a few "disses". This comment from my sister after viewing this picture.

"It looks like Paula and her dad".

So I too have to work on my smile. Here's my attempt to compete.

Martha Skates

Martha was very excited to go skating and use her newly painted skates. Here's a clip of her efforts.

This is what the holidays are all about. Watching some quality shows and working wirelessly on your laptops.

Progressive Supper

The 2nd Annual Progressive Supper was held on Wednesday, December 21st. Val organized this event involving 9 couples.

We began at Buchanan's with appetizers supplied by Penny and Julie. We headed over to Lisa's for soup made by Debbie. Sheri hosted and supplied a shrimp salad. The main course was at Val's and she prepared a chicken thing wrapped in a big fat noodle with almonds and green beans. That's a brutal explanation but Paula's not here to provide me with the correct details. We finished up at our house for Tarimsu.

Update: Allan and Darlene have posted more photos as well.

Meredith sings at Open Mike Night

Meredith took advantage of an open mike night at a local coffee shop Sunday night to perform with Kurt.

Her prof's have encouraged her to pursue these opportunities. They did very well and also performed well at a wedding Saturday and will also perform on Christmas Eve.

Something Stupid

The Road Trip

I'm sitting in a hotel in Jameston, ND eating pizza and watching football highlights. Me, Sam, Dalton, Tegan and Mark are on our way home from a weekend in Minneapolis. We saw the Timberwolves and Lakers, Vikings and Rams and a number of shopping venues.

We discovered Mark is an amazing shopper, Dalton prefers finding a nice bench and the hotel room was a dizzying array of sights and sounds. We learned many interesting things.

Bethlehem Live

Saturday we took Martha and her friend to Bethlehem Live. This is a dramatic portrayal of the Christmas story simulating the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. Live actors and animals made this a nice beginning to the Christmas season.

I hate snow

It snowed today and I hate it. Martha was quite pumped and stayed out late building a snowman. Glad someone likes winter.
