I have seen the Simpsons Movie ...

and it is good.

Simpsons Movie Today!!!

I have my tickets! I will be watching the new Simpson's movie tonight!

WOO HOO!

In other news Rumors are flying that Directv will be picking up The MTN (mountain West conference sports network) and adding it to their sports tier in mid August. I called Directv customer service to try and verify for myself. The rep I spoke with was named Steven. When I asked him if Directv had plans to add the MTN he said that they would be adding it this year before the football season starts, but he couldn't give an exact date.

While I am very hopeful to be receiving the MTN on Directv, I am still in a wait and see mode. I know he told me they would get it, but until I see an official release I am not holding my breath.

Me as a Simpson ...

Using the new Simpsonizeme.com website I created myself as a simpsons character. So ... This is me ... not 100%, but thats ok.

Cubs continue to roll

The cubs have now won 4 in a row, and are keeping the pressure on the Brewers. The cubs also picked up Jason Kendall from the A's. Kendall is slumping this year, but is a lifetime .298 hitter, and should fit in well with the cubs. It give some good experience behind home plate.

Baseball All-Star Break

Today is the last games before the All Star break. The cubs have finally started playing well. They are 4.5 games back in the division, and 3 games back in the wild card. Hopefully they win today and keep some momentum to start the 10 game home stand.

What this also means is that tomorrow and Wednesday are sports "Dead Days" The only days when no major sports are played. No baseball, no football, no basketball, and no hockey ... Tuesday we at least have the all star game.

Sam

This is Sam. I just created him on the simpsonsmovie.com website. It is a great way to use an hour...

My Own Simpsons Character!

As many have found out you can now create your own simpson characters by going to simpsonsmovie.com and using their "Create Your Own Simpsons Avatar". It is loads of fun. I just created my first one...

Welcome to July

July has finally come. The cubs are playing very well. They took 2 of 3 from the brew crew, and have won 8 of the last 9. Hopefully they will keep winning into the all star break.

I got to try out my new driver on Saturday morning. I like it very much. I am able to get more distance with the driver, and it feels better in my hands. I still need to work on my twisting my wrists and opening my club face and slicing the ball.

My brother and his family arrived yesterday. I hadn't seen some of them in quite a long time.

New Driver should arrive today

I decided to buy a new driver. It is scheduled to arrive today. Instead of spending $500.00 - $800.00 on a driver I decided to by a replica for much much less. I got a replica of the Taylor Made R7 driver.

I plan on going and hitting it this weekend to see how I like it. If all goes well I may use it for my next scheduled round (July 4th)

Cubs Win Wild One

It was a wild win for the Chicago cubs today. The cubs had an 8-3 lead heading into the 9th inning against the rockies. The rockies scored 6 in the 9th to take a 9-8 lead, only to see the cubbies score two in the ninth to win the game.

Cubs are 36-39 - inching closer to getting above .500

In other news Cowboy Football kicks off in just over 67 days.

Back to Work

Well, My vacation is over so its back to work for me.

I had a great time in Chicago. The Cubs won both game I went to, and I got lots of great food. I ate at places like Maggiano's, Kinzie chop house, Lou Malnati's, and the billy goat tavern.

I went and saw Sears tower, China town, and the United Center.

I may post some more pictures some time...

Chicago China town

I'm attempting to post a Pic I took today in china town. Jason doesn't think I can post it by reading my digital camera with my pda. This is my attempt to show I can.

Hello from Chicago

I am posting this with my Dell AXIM handheld, using free Internet at our hotel
The Cubs won today. The brats were very good too.
I've been to a few great restraunts.

I hope too are doing well too.

New Look

I decided I wanted to customize the look of my blog. I am still deciding on what exact colors I want. I like the black gray and red so far. I also re-did most of the little graphics on the page like the arrows, corners etc.

Let me know what you think.

Snow in June

I am looking out my office window and It is snowing. It has been snowing now for several hours. You have to love Wyoming's June weather.

Summer was nice this year. I enjoyed both days!

Countdown to Chicago

In less than 1 week I will be in Chicago watching the Cubs play.

Funeral

My Grandfather passed away last week, and I was able to attend his funeral this past weekend. I really enjoyed the service and many of the stories I got to hear about my grandpa. A service such as that is a good way to celebrate someone's life, and know that they are in a better place.

For the first time in several years all of my immediate family were together. We took a few pictures.

In other happenings I have another laptop ready to be turned into a digital picture frame. I think I will hang it on my wall when I finish it.

Memorial Day

For this memorial day holiday I went and visited my brother and his family. We got to go golfing which was very fun.

that is all for today.

Starcraft II

I've spent countless hours and nights playing starcraft, and finally 9 years later Starcraft II will be coming out. It looks pretty cool from the screenshots I've seen. This might give me an excuse to build a new computer. http://www.starcraft2.com/
