Namaste,
Sunday.... Up early.... Foot still purple. Walking boot on, lots of ice! I called my friend Kay Morton. Kay is a PA and works at the ER in Weatherford. She told me to keep ice on it, and wear my boot when I am up! Trey and I worked in the parking lot at Peoples Church, well I sat on the curb and Trey directed traffic. He really has a good time doing it. Then off to Journey Church in Norman for service. Came directly home and Sherrie made me clean out my bedside table drawers, and our closet. OMG... What a mess. We went to my mom's and swam for a few hours, and she made me Fathers Day dinner. She smoked a turkey breast, made some dressing, mashed sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce! YUMMY! I was full as a tick! Good Stuff! This morning my foot feels better. Swelling is down, and bruising has faded. I will see how it does after being on it all day!
Love ya!

Hello All!
Thursday... Another busy day at work. Our census is up, and our acuity is very high so we worked a few extra hours. After work I came home and started working on the fridge. I bought a new water valve for it and it only took about five minutes to fix it. Edward Peacock showed up to fix the leaking valves under the kid's bathroom sink. He got that accomplished and Sherrie and I went to Thunder Road to meet with The RB Motorcycle Club of Edmond. The RB's have been very supportive, and I can't tell you how much that means to me. We had some nachos and then home to get ready for Friday. Friday morning I got up a few minutes before five and run four miles. It was perfect running weather, but quite windy. I had some great music on and my pace was quick. Home shower and off to work. Work, again.... crazy busy. After work I came home and the kid's were at mom's swimming so Sherrie and I went to Bellini's and shared a pizza, then to Penn Square mall to look for some shoes to go with the dress I got her for her reunion next weekend. We were tired so we came home put a movie in the DVD player moved the chaise lounge in the middle of the living room floor and..... Fell asleep! Up at five to be at Applebee's at six. We had a great turn-out for the pancake breakfast! About 150 people showed up but only 78 people ate. After the breakfast we came home and unloaded, went to Wal-Mart where my family got me a new Blackberry for Fathers Day, and then to the city to meet with a photographer friend of mine. Mark Hopkins... He does great work and has some great equipment. We went over to the Myriad Gardens and walked around for a while. It is just beautiful right now. All of the flowers are in bloom and the fish were very visible in the ponds. After that we did some grocery shopping, home for a thirty minute nap, then Home Depot for flowers, and mulch. Sherrie and I planted flowers, cleaned out the pond, mowed the lawn, and put out new mulch in all of the beds. While mowing I tweaked my Achilles and the whole back of my foot is purple. Sherrie wants me to go to the ER but I am icing it and have my walking boot on. If it's not better in the next few days, I guess I will have it looked at! Anyway.... Need to edit some pictures so, good night and God Bless!
Love you all!

Hello All!
Tuesday work was crazy busy! I came straight home to work on the kid's bathroom. I replaced the faucet, and the wood under their cabinet. The only problem was when I started moving the hoses,it caused the hot and cold water valves to start leaking. At one point the water was spraying out like a water hose. I turned the water off to the whole house, and ran to Home Depot. I am not brave enough to try that myself so I am waiting on a plumber. I did get the leak to slow to a drip. Wednesday.... Again work was crazy busy! Didn't leave until 6:00pm then straight to the gym. We had another great turn out. We stretched, and then ran sprints. It's been a long time since I have run sprints. I used muscles I am not use to using. Then into the cage for some one on one sparring. I sparred with a young man named Shadid. He is very tall and thin, and has a very nice right jab. Right before the bell rang, Ben told me to go easy on him because he has a broken nose. Soooo, I go in throwing body shots and Shadid, comes out swinging. After he landed the first jab, all bets were off. He caught me a couple of times, but all in all, it was a very good match. Then home, shower, and now I am working on my sponsor list for the pancake breakfast. Love you all!

Hello All!
OOOOHHHHH!!!!! What a Monday! It was busy at work. At lunch today I had to go rescue Mike Champlin. His car was acting up, and I went over to his house to look at his car. We got it running, and I headed back to work. After work I came straight home, grabbed my weed eater, and headed to the gym. Our grass is all dead but, it had dead weeds that were feet tall. Big Ben Crocker mowed and I weed ate. We then went for a run, got back to the gym, and got ready for class. We had a great turnout, and Sherrie is really getting into the flow. She has some pent up aggression, and I think she has some pent up aggression, and she is getting it out. After class I rolled with Tyson and Tapped him out three times. Then I rolled with a youngster... New kid. He was pretty scrappy, but I worked him over. I got a great workout, and am excited about Wednesday. Tomorrow I have committed to work on the kids bathroom. ANY VOLUNTEERS?????
Love you all!

Good Morning!
Thursday morning I went to work about an hour and a half early, due to the fact, that I needed to leave early. My friend DJ Dirk was getting married Friday evening, and he ask me to be the photographer. I hate doing weddings, but I did it or DJ. I go to the rehearsal so I can get the layout of the chapel, and see the flow of the service. The rehearsal was fun. DJ is a prankster and the rehearsal was very quick. After the rehearsal we went to his best mans house for a cookout. I took a couple of hundred pictures, and some are really great. Friday, same story! Work early, and left early. I had to be at the chapel at 5:00 and it was way on the other side of the city. I came home and put on some dress clothes, picked up my lovely assistant, and headed straight over. The wedding was beautiful, and we took just over a thousand pictures. The reception was fun. The wedding party, well.... Loved to party. The newly weds left just after 11:00, and I got home just after midnight. I started downloading pictures, and don't remember much else. I was soooo tired. Saturday morning, I got up early, mowed my lawn at 6:15. I didn't feel too bad about that, because my neighbor David was already out doing his lawn. Showered and started editing pictures, until Sherrie got up. She has her high school Reunion, in a couple of weeks, and I promised to take her shopping. We went to he Edmond farmers market, and bought a bunch of fresh Veggies, and two whole grain pizza crust. We left there and went to Kholes. There were several things she liked, but only got one top. We went and got the kids from mom's, and came home. I started working on pictures. My friend Caleb Brown has been wanting to go fishing, so he came over at 3:30 and we headed up to Guthrie Lake. We fished until dark. I caught two sand bass, and one really nice large mouth. Caleb caught two really nice large mouth, and on blue gill. Sunday morning.... Had to be in the parking lot at Peoples Church by 8:30. I picked Trey up at Mom's and made him go with me. He had a blast directing traffic. As soon as we were done in the parking lot, we ran over to the gym met Sherrie and Jordan, and headed down to Journey Church in Norman. Service was great. We then went to Sooner Mall, to look for Sherrie a dress. They didn't open until noon, so we headed back to Edmond. On the way we stopped at Harry Bears, and shared some nachos. Home to edit some more pictures, and then to Mike Giroux's house for an 805 Board Meeting at 4:00. I got home around six and made some home made pizza's. They turned out really great. We then loaded up and went to mom's to do her lawn. It was out of control. Back home to shower and work on pictures for the next hour and a half. I know I have left out a ton of details but I am sleep deprived. Have a great day!
Love you all!

Namaste,
Wednesday was another busy day. Straight to the gym from work, and cleaned very quickly. I ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes due to the fact that it was raining, cats and dog's! I ran myself through a circuit, and got a great workout. When students arrived, Ben and I put them through a really great class, that ended with some light sparring. It's crazy to see how far our youngest students have come. Leave your hands down and these young guy's will try and take your head off!
Love ya!

Monday & Tuesday, June 8th & 9th.
Monday was a good day! After work headed straight to the gym. After several days away, I knew the place would be filthy! Right I was! The building we are in is not exactly air tight, and we get dust and dirt from under the big doors. I cleaned the mat's really good, and because I knew we would have some women there, I even cleaned the bathroom. (Disgusting) Anyway, went for a run, and then back to get the session started. We had a small class, but each student gets more personal time. After class I jetted home caught a shower, and worked on a few pictures. Tuesday, we were quite busy at work. After work Mike Giroux, Ben Crocker, and myself, met with an attorney for two hours, to get our corporation started. It is weird to think that this gym, a place that was formed in a garage, is going to be a corporation. After our meeting, and as soon as, I got to the house Trey, and Sherrie were getting ready to walk. I changed, and told them I was going to run down 15th, through Lexington, and over into the Valley. Sherrie and I walked that route the other night and it's just over two miles. We left at the same time and I caught them right before they reached the bridge in the Valley. That was my goal. So then home, shower, trail mix, and a quick trip over to my mom's to pick up Jordan. Back home for some R & R! Should be a good day today! Sherrie and Trey are going to make a return trip to Fight Club!
Love ya!
