Meeting of the minds

Headed early today to Lake Jackson, Texas for Christmas with my wife's side of the family.  But simplicity during the holidays just isn't our style.  At about 6:30 AM we'll head to Corsicana (the wrong direction) to meet with my son and his wife.  We'll leave my truck, pile into their car, and drive down together.  After spending the night, we'll head back and hope that my truck is still there.  Wild and crazy.

On a heavier note:  Yesterday there was a mass shooting by a mentally ill young man at a school in Newtown, Connecticut.  20 young elementary children and 6 adults dead including the shooter (did himself) and his mother before he went to the school.  It made me cry.  If even one of my babies was killed like this, my life would be irrevocably changed.  My heart hurts for them, but I will not dwell on it.

Do you Know what you Believe?

And weeee'rrrrreeeee off!

The TAGT conference was very good.  Not very exciting but very informative.  One of the main things I learned is that I need to kick up my game to the next level.

This coming Monday, on the other hand, I will be having x-rays and an MRI for my spine.  It is in a constant state of rebellion.  If I could I would send it to its room without supper.  I stay in pain pretty much all the time, although there are times where it's not too bad.  When Dr. Gordon's PA, James had a look at me he found no reflexes at all in my left leg.  He kept shaking his head saying "That's not good." and "It's not supposed to do that."  We' see how it all comes out.
