Best West Inn Duncanville

After a 12 hour drive, my longest push the whole trip, I arrived in Dallas. I found John and Patty's house, and although it was late, they were both up and waiting for me. Patty and John are old acting friends of my dad. When I was a kid in Los Angeles, we would visit them at there house. These were special visits. John was, and still is, a puppet maker and puppeteer. Some of my ...

... my tongue to try to stay awake. Dinner was at a local sushi joint that had great rolls. We spent the rest of the weekend watching several episodes of Dexter while Tommy upgraded my computer for this trip. Tyler was acting crazy as usual just running around. The next stop will be in Wichita to see the family and eats lots of Thanksgiving goodies.

... of art at centenary college of Louisiana is an educational unit of the college charged with the collection, conservation, protection and interpretation of visual art works of museum quality from the permanent college collection inclusive of the Indochina Collection of Jean Despoja's.

Vicki and I are extremely blessed with wonderful children. Because we have such great kids, blending them together may pose some occasional challenges, but if our first meeting was any indication...our kiddos will be BEST FRIENDS. We had a great day playing pick up basketball, and taking them to the Dallas zoo. Much fun was had by all! Truly blessed to have 2 new sons to my already great family unit.

This is our beautiful home in Warsaw, Tx. Warsaw is on a country road between the small country towns of Crandall and Scurry. It is 7 miles SW of Crandall and 3 miles NE of Scurry. Our zip code shows Kaufman, our water comes from Scurry, and our school distict is Crandall...whew!

Packing for a one-month trip overseas in generally one climate came quite easy after having to utilize the same packing gear for a trip 6x as long and with many varied climates earlier this year. With my 70-liter pack and a daypack fully loaded, and with two suitcases full of food, clothing and the like requested by my friends at ACA in India in tow, I was ready to head off to Bangalore via London!

... But we drank it, because we were toasting a great trip - an end to the people and country of Spain.  It was great.   We spent the evening with Carrie's friends who had gotten engaged in Portugal now.  Amy was very happy.  Freddy was, like, well, yeah.  He told us later over a beer that he knew after a while that he really loved this woman and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.  It was romantic without being all nose-rubby.  They will do well.  Since we ...

American Airlines nearly ruins my trip....my original flight which was supposed to leave at 10:10am never leaves the ground....at 11:45am...AA has another flight bound for Tokyo and because I have carry-on luggage only, I'm allowed to board the flight and make it to Tokyo with 40 minutes to change planes and airlines ( Japan Air, they rock!!) . American Airlines...never again you *******s.

In Dallas we found our connecting gate and grabbed some food. It is a good thing we did as
there was no food served on the flight to Miami. I made a couple of shots from the plane as we approached DFW.

... pour all the colors of the rainbow in a big pot and stir, you end up with brown. That's just what our cities have become for the most part, brown and lifeless. It's all very sad and disheartening but I suppose it keeps the clones on Wall Street and good old boys in the board rooms up to their necks in Mercedes and mistresses. There is a remarkable larger-than-life statue of a herd of wild horses running ...
