memory lane
after living a semester in the Taylor Terrace apartments from yesterday, I moved into the Ponderosa apartments in today's photo. The building I lived in, and the other building several friends lived in are gone. Not sure if it was fire or demolition =)
When i lived here, the nickname was Pond-a-roach-a... to be fair, i never saw a roach.. it was a little old, but we didn't have roaches =) i remember several '100 minute' contests here. i never made it past 35 minutes. (an ounce/shot of beer a minute for 100 minutes-the equivalent of about 8 beers) =)

today's photo is another look back to my college days... my first apartment after moving out of the dorms. =) It's the upstairs apartment on the right. There were parties nearly every night at my fraternity brothers' place two doors down =)
this is primo real estate compared to the one i'm posting tomorrow. tomorrow: my 2nd apartment!

home sweet home
this was my home a long, long time ago.... first on the 6th floor, then the 4th - until finally I arrived in the penthouse - resident assistant on the top floor, summer '88 ... all the rooms were on the same side, facing the parking lot as marked =)
**taken in Commerce, Tx on Saturday - at Texas A&M University Commerce campus.

midway
well, here we are at the close of another weekend... i decided a while back not to wish time away, so i try to enjoy the weekdays just like the weekend =) but i do like when i get to sleep in on a weekend day!
today's photo is the midway at the state fair. always a magical place for me as a kid; i loved all the games and flashing lights and loud noises. and candy apples. and cotton candy =)
everyone at work will be happy about the rangers... all my family in missouri is happy about the cardinals... would be cool to go to a world series game! for free... it would be cool to go for free =)

went out to the state fair today! a fun tradition =)
today's photo is from the Texas Lottery booth at the fair. i've ALWAYS wanted to win a chance to get in a money machine and grab flying dollar bills around me! i had so many chances today at spinning a wheel, but never got to go in the money machine...
jim from terrell daily photo? that's him in the photo. he got to go in the money machine!

skies of blue
and clouds of white =)
we started out the day with some much needed rain... and ended with a beautiful, blue sky littered with white clouds...
don't forget to make your way out to the State Fair of Texas soon- it comes and goes so quickly, it seems =)

sunday eve
well... another weekend closes. today, i accomplished finishing a 20k. and i wasn't last =)
20k is 12.4 miles - so i only have .7 more miles to get to the 13.1 for the half marathon next month... i think i'm pretty much ready now - just have to maintain for a month!
jim finished ahead of me today. and i have excuses, but he mostly just ran faster, i guess... =) he did the 20k in 2:18 and i finished in 2:25. I'm pretty proud just to have finished.

lazy saturday
today i drove out to tyler with jim to take some pics at the firefighter combat challenge. we went to one a few months back in greenville, and this was part of the same series. a LOT nicer weather for this one =) the wind and clouds made for a nice afternoon.
tomorrow? the 20k. i've been trying to carb up and hydrate today. i feel nervous and ready... or at least prepared. jim and i have been preparing for this for quite a while. the farthest run has been a 15k - so this will be adding 3.1 miles... hopefully i'll still be able to walk when i finish!

customer service
well... here we are at the end of another weekend. they always end too soon =)
it's the beginning of customer service week - and for all those out there who provide customer service, this week is for you!
today's photo is from the archives from last year's customer service week - cookout day... kabobs and corn on the grill =)
for anyone interested in getting in shape at my work, meet me in the parking lot tomorrow, Monday, at 11a and 3p, when i'll be leading fitness walks around the block!
oh... and one week from today jim and i will be running in and recuperating from the lost dog 20k at white rock late... this is the next step in the training for the half marathon for us. after this, we'll just have to maintain for a month to be ready for the race!
