San Diego Vacation

It's always good to be able to get away from Chicago in January and February. I was able to steal a few days in San Diego. It was sunny but still chilly and to top it off, I caught my friends' cold. It had me cut my vacation short but not before I got to spend a few days taking in the sites like Balboa Park, Old Town, and USS Midway. I can't believe how much there is to do and see there. It just means that the next time I'm there I'll need a lot of time to do it all. You can check out all my vacation photos at www.pictage.com and search "san diego vacation".

Holiday Season

Now that all the hoopla of the holiday season is over and we are settling in to focus on this new year, I just had to post a photo of one of my sister's family. I got to spend Christmas in Louisiana with my two sisters and their families and that was great. I love spending time with my 15-year-old niece and 10-year-old nephew... I mean, otherwise, when would I have ever watched "Transformers" or "Finding Nemo" for the 10th time or the third season of "Spongebob Squarepants" if it weren't for them. Can you believe that I had never heard of "High School Musical?"

I did get to eat lots of gumbo which is always a good thing. And on Monday, January 7, LSU will be playing Ohio for the college football national championship... GEAUX TIGERS!!! That's how we spell 'down there.'

And I'm looking forward to a fantastic 2008 beyond what will be just good... It's going to ge GREAT... for you, for me... We're going to make it AWESOME!!!... a year worth remembering...

Ready? Let's get busy!!!
