My little sister got married this past Sunday, September 13th. The wedding was at the Running Y Ranch and Resort, so all of us guys went golfing the day before. This Arnold Palmer designed course is pretty spectacular. Highlight: I drained a long put, best drunk estimates put it somewhere between 30 and 100 feet. Lowlight: My 12 yard drive on #2.
As for the wedding, it went off hitchless. The Running Y Ranch was an excellent venue, offering impressive views and a really cool pavilion for the reception. The food was quite good, and the ice cold Bud Light from the keg went down with no hint of protest. I officiated the ceremony, a first for me. I was pretty nervous going in, but I think it went well. I am really happy for my sister and Sean, it was a great day. Laci looked great. Sean, welcome to the family.
It was nice as always to get the family together!
It has been way too long since my last post. I am sure some of you were starting to think I was more inconsistent than U of O football. Things have been a little out of control lately, with long work days for both Amy and me.
Cutting the Cable Update: So far, I have not missed TV, with one glaring exception: Sports! I didn’t realize how much I would miss baseball and football, especially as we near October, the climax (chuckle) of my sports season. Seriously, it doesn’t get better than October. The chill entering the air is synonymous with college and professional gridiron battles and the greatest sporting event on Earth, the World Series. Having said that, a lack of television has not been problematic for us. In fact, it has made me get back into reading, something I enjoy immensely. Also, we don’t sit and eat mindlessly in front of the tube, time we have replaced with talking and reading the newspaper (yes, it turns out they still print newspapers (at least for the time being)). Our Netflix service is great and we watch a ton of movies now On Demand through the Xbox 360. If anyone would like to have a free one month trial of Netflix, I can email you a free month coupon. Just let me know…
I have finally started up an Inventor User Group at work, a group that covers topics specific to the software we use here. I taught the first session yesterday and it went well. This is something I have taken on extra and I believe that it will help our group get better and really learn from each other. We will see how it progresses from here, but I think it is off to a good start.
I conclude this post with a pleasant memory: BYU 14, Oklahoma 13. Sweet…
