Astros!

Well I was sitting in my office at about 4 pm on tuesday when one of the supervisors stoped by to see if I was interested in 4 tickets to that nights Astro's game. Sure, I thought, it beats sitting at home. So I gathered up some co-workers and headed out to see the Astros vs. the Dodgers at Minute Maid Field. Luckily I went with an Astro's fan, and she explained all the intricacies of the game. We had a foul ball land right in front of our seats, but someone else caught it. We saw George Bush Sr. and Barbara, although not upclose...they were about four sections away and in the first row behind home plate. That was the excitement for this week.

Its been a while...

Well I know its been quite a while since I have updated this blog. Since the last post I have done a few things....Don and I went to the Symphony. It was really good, music from Russia. We also watched some movies "V for Vendetta" and "Tsotsi" . Both were excellent. The first stars Natelie Portman and has a great message about government, the second is a South African film about life and redemption in SOWETO.

As some of you know Don and I drove to Oklahoma and Colorado this past weekend to visit mom and grandma and also to take the mustang to Denver. I have driving through Kansas, but I did sleep for quite a portion of the time. Unlucky for Don. I was supprised at the brownness of the region. Oklahoma and Colorado both seem like they havent gotten rain in quite a long time. It doesnt bode well for the summer.

Once I got back to Houston I learned that we had record heat here and the electric companies had to initiate rolling power outages, so Monday my apartment was without power for about 10 minutes. Also doesnt bode well for the summer. I cant believe that summer is around the corner. Yikes!!

Other than these things not much exciting has been happening... I am headed to Dallas for a one day conference on Monday. It should be pretty interesting but its a work thing. I am getting more of a role at work because the work load is starting to pick up and so far all our wells have been successful. Hopefully the rest of the year is the same way.
