Christmas Party '07

I just posted this one to document that Aaron actually wore a shirt with a collar (and I bought it for him!)

Christmas Party '07

The scene!

L to R: Ryan mulling over his next mix drink selection in the back, Bruce, Bobby D's wife, Tonya, Rene (Bruce's wife), Jasper, Elaine, Kris & Adam (Sweet Juice), and Matt.

Matt's shreddin' it, while Bobby D. enjoys his Bottington's. Brad on the right... worried about the expense report I'm gonna turn in next week. I think that's Bruce's wife I cut in half at the bottom.

Chrstmas Party '07

Kate Anderson, my neighbor who's dogs I walk all the time; Bruce Grief, legendary surfer; and Ryan Brown, President of the San Antonio Spurs Fan Club.

Sweet Juice & Matt

Louise (Matt's girlfriend) said there's no way I could get him up there to jam with the band... I guess she lost that bet! Matt was shreddin'!

No, It Can't Be November Already

Gosh, the last time I blogged, I was getting ready to visit June in Oceanside. I think you all know she was safe and sound, not in danger from the fires although she was inundated with smoke and ashes. Other than the fact the she beat me at Kings Corners and Rummy Cubes, the visit was great.

Life continues to be busy with the Church Foundation--yes, I just finished drafting minutes from yet another meeting. The Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation had another Board meeting at the place called Boring, Oregon--and I thought Peculiar Missouri was a hoot. Anyway, Boring is the home of one of the two campuses in the nation for training Guide Dogs for the Blind. What a lovely sight tucked among the trees.

No talk about Oregon football as we are mourning the loss of our star quarterback, Dennis Dixson, to a torn ACL. I take consolation that I have two other teams I can support in the bowl race: Mizzou and Kansas. Also the Packers are looking good this year so I am getting my weekly dose of football.

I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving. I'll we with Conrad and Corinne for the festivities. We'll probably overeat and fall asleep as most old folks do.
