After three days on the road, we arrived in Palm Springs, California. In those days, it was customary for the host location for these meetings to provide housing for those travelling, whether to ATG (All Team Gathering), EC Meetings, Suitcase Team members, or whatever. On some occasions, various members might opt to stay in motelsContinue reading “Scott & Karla & Eric’s Excellent Adventure – Part II”

Scott & Karla & Eric’s Excellent Adventure – Part I
In my earlier two posts, I was a little uncertain about some of the dates. The “Emergency ATG” was indeed held in Houston, however it was in February 1999. The Atlanta ATG was in September 1999. Also, the mother I wrote about was Trudie’s mother, not Rays! (My apologies to my friends Trudie & Ray.)
The Executive Committee met twice per year over a long weekend (Thursday night through Sunday morning.)
The Trap is Sprung
While in Houston, we’d shared our email addresses, probably on some kind of sign in sheet. I confess again, my memory of these little details is a bit foggy after 15 years. Anyhow, Jerry began sending out email, as I recall, with things that needed to be accomplished. Along with these emails, Jerry began solicitingContinue reading “The Trap is Sprung”
The Trap is Set
Some weeks ago, I asked for suggestions on what to write about. My friend, Jerry, from Houston, TX, made a few suggestions. He suggested my church and it’s new property, Excel International, and my time as Chair of its EC, as well as ATG. Did you think I was ignoring you, Jerry? First of all,Continue reading “The Trap is Set”
Ixchel Sees the Doctor
Last Saturday, Ixchel saw her vet. Does that mean we have another 6 weeks of puppy? Not much has happened since I reported on our snowfall earlier this week. But I promised a 2nd post to make up for not posting last week. When we first got Ixchel we promised each other two things. First,Continue reading “Ixchel Sees the Doctor”
My Family
This post is short. It’s not part of my 2012 effort to post 1 or more posts per week (even though I have said I’d post 2 this week). This is simply news about my family. My brother-in-law, CPT Bruce Hays was killed in Afghanistan in September, 2008. Before he deployed, he bought his wifeContinue reading “My Family”
Snow Glorious Snow
Sheesh! I let down my guard, and see what happens? I promised three posts a week and delivered. Then I said “OOoh! I can’t DO that, I’ll only do one!” And here we are, two weeks later. No post last week. I guess, to make up for it, I shall have to attempt to writeContinue reading “Snow Glorious Snow”
Broken Promises
And here we come to the third post of this week, the last full week of January 2012. At the beginning of the month I indicated my resolution to post three entries to my blog per week for all of 2012. I realize now that my ambition was a bit greater than my ability! ComingContinue reading “Broken Promises”
Oh, Crap, I’ve gone and done it now
I guess it was inevitable that at some point I’d have to get hit by a 2×4. This past week I got a good wallop from said chunk of lumber. In the grand scheme of things I’m a relatively healthy guy. Sure, I have my problems, and some of them make life less than aContinue reading “Oh, Crap, I’ve gone and done it now”
Home from Florida
OK, I blew it. I promised three a week, and last week I only made 2 posts. My apologize to those of you who are counting… ARE any of you actually counting? Probably not. On the other hand, the week before I made 4 posts, so the last two weeks AVERAGE out to THREE aContinue reading “Home from Florida”
