Jesus action figures

I just find it really ironic that these are made in China.

Anyone?

A taste of Texas

Last night we joined some friends, headed down to San Antonio and made our way to the Majestic Theater to see Lyle Lovett and his large band.

Now, I'll start off by saying that I'm not a huge country music fan. However, good friends were going so if we didn't like the music, at least we would enjoy the company. However, I will say that the sound of the "large band", some soulful backup singers and Lyle's gritty voice was really neat.

He had a fiddle, cello, 4 piece brass section, multiple guitars, 2 percussionists, a pianist, a steel guitar player and 4 backup vocalists. It was indeed large.

Their set ranged from jazz, to Texas country, to Bluegrass to Gospel. And it all sounded really good. I do wish, however, that they would have turned Lyle's microphone up a bit. In between songs, it was a bit difficult to understand what he was saying between the multiple "umms" but it was entertaining nonetheless.

The singers got really into the music and danced. And they certainly had some moves! The bass player had the biggest beard I think I've ever seen in person, and we half expected another band member to crawl out of it midway through the set.

All in all, it was a fun evening. I particularly liked "The Boat" and "Don't Cry a Tear" if you were curious....

Puppies!

Well, at long last, here are some pictures of our new puppies. We've had them for about a month now, and they are doing great!



Their names are Bella and Zoey, and they are Scottish Terriers. They are now about 6 months old, and are still very much in the puppy phase.

Anyhow, more pictures to come in the future, I'm sure. Check out the smugmug page for pictures and captions...

A few pictures from Poland

Since we basically worked 12-14 hours each day, I didn't get much time to run around town and take pictures. So on my last day there, I snapped a few from the taxi (most of which came out blurry). I had about 20 minutes of downtime before I had to catch my next taxi on my way out of town, so I ran down to main street and took as many pictures as possible. So here are a few....for more, check out SmugMug (I even added captions!).

The joke

Sorry, I realized that I left out the joke from yesterday's post...

I really enjoy puns.

The other day I was listening to the radio and was inspired, for some reason, so I invented a joke. Here goes:

Did you hear the one about the probate lawyer?

So many updates, so little desire to write

Ok, so honestly it's been forever since I've posted anything decent. Or anything at all. And I do apologize. I usually enjoy writing, but lately, I've enjoyed chilling out just a bit more. I have pictures of Poland and puppies to share, along with various other things to write about....

But all my pictures are on my other computer which is currently sitting in a car half way across town. So for now, hopefully a list and a joke will suffice.

Latest happenings:

• I went to Poland for a week, and lived to tell...
• We got two puppies! Scottish terriers, to be specific
• I am totally loving our sermon series at church lately (Everything from 8/26 onwards...)
• Reading another Brennan Manning book, and loving that as well
• Our company is undergoing a massive "re-org" so the job scene may change a bit in the near future
• Amar and I have been in the same place for more than a week!! Yay!
