Happy New Year! + Happy 19th Wedding Anniversary!

Over the New Year Holiday, we enjoyed a visit from Michael & Dena, and their great kids! Mike, I enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks for coming. As a special Anniversary Treat (Mary Lynne and I were married 19 years ago tomorrow!), here is a picture of me and my Best Man - Mike! I also have to include one from the actual ceremony, so our friends can see Kurt Weber standing three feet away as we make our vows!

We also had a great visit at the start of the holiday season from Migdalia Garcia, who came to visit the farm on the night of the Winter Solstice! Unfortunately, Mig was sick during her stay with us, and spent most of the time in bed trying to get over a bad cold before pushing on to visit her family in El Paso. I have also put in a photo of her from our days back at St. Mary's University.

Year's End...Sam the Lamb Rules!

Sam the Lamb (aka A.J. !) is in danger from his cousins, Nora and Joshua!

Christmas 2006 - Cards from Family & Friends

Tarrant County College - The Campus

These are some photos I took of the Northwest Campus of Tarrant County College, where I taught Philosophy during the fall semester of 2006.

Tarrant County College - My Students

Above are some of my students from the fall 2006 semester at Tarrant County College. I taught three sections of Philosophy, and enjoyed every minute of it! I also learned quite a bit, and I enjoyed working with the outstanding faculty and staff of TCC.

Snow in November!

It is 30 November 2006, and we had a light "dusting" of snow, but - by God! - it was real snow, and it fell steadily all day. Quite lovely for us Texans who are not acustomed to snow. The bottom two photos are of the house next door, which belongs to my brother, David, and his wife, Jennifer (they have an active, vivacious home, as they live with two kids, a cat, and Jennifer's mother - a full house!).

Thanksgiving Fun at the Farm!

Here is A.J. playing with his cousin, Eddie, in the new "Bouncy-Bounce" toy at Grandpa and Grandma's house! In fact, A.J. got to see a lot of his counsins this Thanksgiving, and enjoyed playing with Eddie, Joshua, Nora, Sam, Joey, and Sarah! What fun to be at the farm!!

I want to reach out...

Tour of Dublin, Ireland


I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel, sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

The NACMS Conversation Group

Mary Lynne and I joined our colleagues from the North American Center for Marianist Studies (NACMS) during the weekend of 3-5 November 2006 in St. Louis at the Provincial offices of the Society of Mary. The Conversation Group meets twice a year at various locations to discuss issues facing the Marianist Family. Here are some scences of us thinking and talking last weekend!
