Steve Carrier, Nelson Rue and Ed G. These guys played rugby with Paul back in the 80's.

SUMMER?

Okay, so my last post was a photo of snow on the the van. Yesterday it was 90. Today is another beautiful day in the neighborhood. Paul and I got out this morning and ran around doing some errands. Had to shed the sweater around 9:00. Looking forward to going to Nelson's tonight to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with friends.
Speaking of St. Patrick's Day, that happens to be Harrison Stewart's birthday. He left or Afganistan yesterday. Please mention his safety in your prayers tonight, along with all the soldiers in harms way.

Snow

It snowed in Waco friday morning. Not much... but it counts. Of course it was back up in the high sixties by the next day.

Becky's New Car

Friday Becky took delivery of her brand "SPANKIN" new Nissan Altima. That Sonoma Red sure looks pretty in the sun.

Bonanza

A few weeks ago I was watching Antique Roadshow when someone inquired about their autographed photos of the cast of Bonanza. According to the expert the most prized photo was the one of Dan Blocker. He unfortuately was not around as long as the other actors, dieing before his time. I immediately called Becky, knowing that she and I both had photos of Dan Blocker. Becky's dad, Mike, was grew up in the same small town and was buddies with the man that would become Hoss Cartwright.

Today, Becky brought by a couple of photocopies she made while at home the last trip. The first photo was of Mike Burns, Dan Blocker, two police officers... and... wait a minute... i think I know that person... Yep. That's my dad squeezing in the picture. I'd know that jewelry anywhere. Keep in mind that was 1967. Wearing that much jewelry back then.. .he must have stuck out like a sore thumb. But he did make it all, so it was cool.
