    Standing and looking up at the trees and that expanse of field, I cannot imagine stepping off and making that assault. It must have been a grand sight though.

    Just went to a hockey game with about twenty friends. It was a great evening. [​IMG]

    Today's weigh in, 3 weeks into Isagenix:

    I'm down a total of 11.8 lbs and 3.1% body fat. Doing the math, 60.42% of my weight loss has been fat.

    Way to go, Rich!

    Standing in on bass again for our worship team. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Standing on bass is very slippery and could be hazardous to your health.

    Thanks, Steve.

    Just don't get your feet caught in the strings and you should be fine.

    Raining but not too cold. Fire in the wood stove. Have a tri tip roast sitting here absorbing my special rub waiting to be thrown in the smoker later this afternoon. Just mixed a bourbon, brown sugar, and garlic (plus a few other ingredients) basting sauce to apply as the roast smokes. Good day for the football games coming up. A kick back Sunday. I ain't leaving the house today.

    Can't believe these words are going to leave my mouth, go Steelers. Either team that wins, I hope looses the Super bowl.

    Erik Redd Lizabeth, baby, I'm comin' to join ya.

    If the Patriot's win, he'll have to shell out $4000+ each for Superbowl tickets, plus airfare and hotel, etc. And then only to watch Atlanta beat them. He's secretly rooting for the Steelers in his heart.

    Hey, I'm a realist. Any given Sunday. Just watched Green Bay melt down. I know the same can happen to any team any game. If the Pats do lose, either tonight, or in the Super Bowl, I just hope it's not an embarrassing loss.

    And I can appreciate the NE haters; getting tired of them winning all the time. I was the same way when the 49ers were always winning back in the 90s - hated 'em. Where are the 49ers now?

    Patriot dominance won't last forever. Brady will retire. Belichick will move on. The Pats will go away just like the 49ers... for a while. I'm just enjoying the moment while it lasts.

    And for the record, I was born in Maine, 1980 grad from Dover, NH - a true New Englandah, not a bandwagon fan whose never been there.

    Two types of fans I can't stand...
    1 - bandwagon fans
    B - fair weath fans

    In Houston we have no fairweather football fans. The weather is never fair, except maybe preseason when everyone has great expectations.

    Did some honey do chores, took Herself grocery shopping, watched the Pack and the Steelers get stomped. Have to root for my new favorite team, the Atlanta Falcons.
    Gonna read for a half hour and hit the goosehair.

    And it's actually an interesting one. Galveston was the largest city in Texas until the hurricane of 1900, which decimated the city. Afterwards ships that wanted a safer port traveled upriver to the Port of Houston. Houston grew and Galveston declined. The beaches in Galveston suck, since the water is brown and nasty this close to the Mississippi delta, but some of the history exhibits in Galveston are enlightening. My German immigrant ancestors came thru Galveston in the 1880's and settled farmland in central Texas.
