Almost forgot to add a title.

So I bet you thought I wouldn't make it four days in a row. But I did, I admit I am cutting it close but I should be able to make it before midnight.

Well, I just got back from the Techsters-Tennessee game. I had prepared myself for losing, but we got beat pretty badly, I think we only scored 15 points in the first half and Tennessee had about 42. The second half was better, but still lost by more than 20. I am afraid that gone are the days when we could truly expect the Techsters to win any game they played. Granted Tennessee is one of the all-time powers in women's basketball, but the Techsters just aren't at the same level that they once were. I really want to go to a game of any sort where Tech wins, it has been a long time. I think the bowling team has been doing pretty good lately. . .

So the first day of the new quarter is tomorrow. I am looking forward to it. I really like teaching, I don't know why, but I just really like it. I am basically teaching the same classes that I taught last quarter, and that is good. I have several new things that I am working on and if I had to try and teach new classes it would just be too much. Oh and we have Christmas break in just three weeks!

That's all for tonight.

Merry Christmas from Champ!

So you may know that my brother is an artist and all, well he sent me a Christmas card that he made. I thought I would share it with all of you Tech people out there. It is pretty cool, I had to reduce the size of it so that it would not take forever to download, but you should still get the idea. Speaking of Tech, the Techsters are playing Tennessee this Tuesday night, I plan on making it out to the game, maybe I will see some of you there. Oh, and yes this is the third post in a row. Just call me buttah, 'cause I am on a roll.

Oh Christmas Tree . . .

It is a record! I have now posted two days in a row. I don't think I will write much, but I did want to post a picture or two of my Christmas tree. I bought this little artificial tree a few years ago during one of those after-Christmas sales for like $15 or so. It is a little short, but I set it up on a table so that is looks taller. Oh, and those are real presents under the tree. They are just empty bags from years past. I have bought a few presents already, but I haven't wrapped any of them yet. Anyway, just thought I would show it off a little bit.

So in other news, there was a missionary from Turkey at church tonight. Listening to him really brought back some memories from back in the day. I wish I had taken more pictures from those days. I don't even know if I owned a camera back then though. I always thought that I would remember everything, but it seems like I can't quite remember all of those days like I thought I would. Who knew? It seems my forgetter is getting better all the time.

P.S. Do you guys spend as much time as I do just trying to rearrange the pictures so that they show up where you want them?

Catch Up

Well, my little experiment to have a post every week doesn't seem to have worked out to well. I actually started writing several posts from time to time, but after reading them I decided not to post any of them. So here we are over a month later and no new posts, the Mustang is still pretty much in the same shape, and it doesn't seem like I have gotten much done. That bothers me, I don't like feeling unaccomplished. I can't stand to waste time, although it does seem to be what I am best at. All of that aside, I will try again to keep up with my postings. I really do want to keep up with my blogging (you know, so the script writers and biographers will have some good material to work from in the future when they are writing my life story.)

So let's see what has been going on. Another quarter has come and gone, I think I have been teaching at Tech for over five years now. It seems like a long time, but just yesterday I was at home (in Many) for Thanksgiving and I found some of my old Tech stuff. I even ran across my packet from Orientation and that seemed like only a week or two ago. To steal from Dickens, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." College was great, but there was some hard stuff to deal with at the same time. Anyway, enough about that, let's see what else has been going on.

The Saints are trying to be a pretty good football team and that is exciting. Tech is trying to find every possible way to loose games and that is not so exciting. Oh, I got word that for the summer, I get to take at least two trips. I think I mentioned earlier that I was going to Hawaii for a conference, but now I am going to Boulder, Colorado too. The only bad part is that the trips are only a few days apart so it is going to be a little hectic. I got two papers accepted, so that is good news. (Technically, only the abstracts are accepted right now, but surely they will accept the papers too.) Don Piper (the 90 Minutes in Heaven guy) spoke at church a few Sunday's ago. That was pretty cool and there were a LOT of people there. Oh, speaking of church, I have moved instruments again, these days you can find me playing electric guitar (and for those of you who care: I am standing up . . . you know who you are.)

I don't have any cool pictures of anything to post so I am afraid that this will be a pictureless post, sorry. Maybe next time I will have a picture of something, who knows. Well, I can't think of anything else to write. I will have to call it a night. See you later.
