AirlineMeals.net

These are the kind of blogs I end up finding late on Sunday nights when I'm sitting in front of my computer wondering why in the heck I'm not in bed.

Airline Meals.net - a blog dedicated to photos of airline meals from all over the world.

A DJ with skill (at last!)

Just had to pass this on. View the video here.

Meebo

Not sure how long this has been around, but I've just found it and it seems like a great tool. It's called Meebo and it's a web based instant message platform that merges MSN, Google Talk, AIM and Yahoo all on one screen. It's kind of like Trillian - but web-based. You can also create an account so all you have to do is login with one user name and be automatically connected to all of your IM accounts.

Four Things Memo

Just got tagged by a friend of mine. I guess there is a blog virus going around called "Four Things Memo." Far be it from me to stop spreading a virus! Cough... Cough...

Four Jobs I've Had

-Camp counselor/Lifeguard (a tough job, but somebody's got to do it!).
-Marine Biologist (yes...I'm serious on this one. I do have a degree in it).
-Account Manager/Telemarketer (you've probably hung up on me!).
-National Gasoline Mgr (I am the one responsible for your high gas prices!).

Four Places I Have Lived

-Denton, TX (hometown sweet hometown)
-Galveston, TX (mosquito paradise)
-Plano, TX (hated every second of it)
-Grapevine, TX (notice all of these are in Texas?)

Four Movies I Can Watch Over & Over

-So I Married an Axe Murderer (Mike Myers best..."HEAD...MOVE!!!!")

-Amazing Race (I love to travel!)

Four Foods That I Like

-Anything from Mi Cozuelas in East Dallas (you'd better speak Spanish)
-Po' Melvins (the best home cooking...besides Mom...in DFW)
-Babe's Chicken (the BEST all-you-can-eat chicken fried steak!)
-BD's Burgers (a small joint in Utah that I found a couple weeks ago...awesome!! Must return).

** all of these are small-hole-in-the-wall places...in my opinon the best!

Can you smell it??

The Superbowl means 1 thing to me (Especially when the Cowboys aren't in it): it means that pitchers and catchers report for spring training in 8 days! Yes, sports fans, it means that in Arizona & Florida there will be Spring Training Baseball in less than 2 weeks! Add the World Baseball Classic into the mix and you've got life as it should be! Life isn't the same during the baseball off-season.

There's only so many times I can watch my 2 DVD's of the 2004 Baseball season (Well, that's not really true). But the point is, I can't wait until this season! The Rangers have put together a good team and have finally focused on pitching and defense. The Yankees, on the other hand have a very potent line-up, but their weakness looks like their pitching!

I don't think the Red Sox will score as many runs as they have over the last 3 years (Who by the way, led the AL in runs scored for each of those years). But they will also allow less runs.

Back from Utah

I finally made it back home last night about 9:30pm from the ski trip. Thankfully, the flight was early, and I got to watch the Superbowl on the plane, 2 bonuses!

Deer Valley, UT, was without a doubt the absolute best skiing conditions I have EVER experienced. All in all, it was the best ski trip I've had in recent memory.

Major kudos and props to my brother Drue for planning the trip and for giving us a place to sleep. It was indeed an immense blessing to spend the week with he, Trey, Scott, Cash, Cannon, and last, but certainly not least...my bestest friend in the world, Charles (who is still there BTW...you dog!).

As promised, here a few pics.

T-minus 6 hours until departure

Flying out this evening to Deer Valley Utah (via a stop in Denver, then Salt Lake City).

The forecast is for snow every day. Looks like it's gonna be a cold trip. I've attached a pic from the resorts webcam. It looks freezing cold!

Amazingly, I got all packed last night and was able to get everything into 2 carry-ons! I absolutely hate waiting at baggage claim.

One other cool thing is being able to check-in for the flight online. Got the boarding passes printed out from my computer, so I can just proceed through the security.
