03/31/03 -- Okay, so another week is among us.  I am rounding up enough energy to get through this one.  I hate Mondays so much!

How 'bout them horns?  The boys are in the Final Four this weekend in New Orleans!!  We are finding away to keep winning.  Two more games boys, two more games!  The ladies are in the Elite Eight tomorrow night also.  Hopefully they will also keep winning!  Okay, time to shower.  Have a great week everyone!  -- Mike

03/28/03 -- Texas Longhorns vs. Connecticut Huskies at The Alamodome, San Antonio, TX @ 06:27 PM  Sweet 16 Matchup!  Hey, we are a basketball school now....well, at least until football season starts! 

This week has gone by SO slow.  I am glad it is finally over.  I have been sick for like the last week.  I am just now starting to feel better.  My head and stomach have been hurting like crazy.  After some much needed rest this week, I should be fine tomorrow or so, hopefully!

John Travolta's new movie, "Basic" comes out today!  Everyone needs to go watch it.  I have heard mostly great things about it.  He's still my favorite actor!  I hope he wins the box office this weekend.  At the very least, I hope it's better than "Lucky Numbers" and "Battlefield Earth"!  With JT and Samuel L. Jackson together again, how can this movie miss!!  Have a great weekend everyone!  -- Mike

03/26/03 -- I don't have much to report today.  This month has gone by so fast.  I can't believe April is almost upon us.  Everybody keep rooting for Texas!!  The men and women are both in the "Sweet 16" of the NCAA basketball tournament.  I hope we keep winning!  Okay, time for me to head out.  I just wanted to write a quick nothing on the site.  I hope all is well with everyone.  Bye!  -- Mike

03/25/03 -- Happy Birthday Debbie Sanchez!  (my sister)

03/24/03 -- I guess I was glad to see "Chicago" win Best Picture last night, though I was also kinda hoping "Gangs of New York" would get it.  I liked both movies alot, but I kinda knew "Chicago" would win because of all the buzz.  Texas won this weekend in basketball!  We are just two games from the Final Four!  Next up is UConn.  We'll whip 'em when they come down to San Antonio on Friday.  I hope we keep winning!

This world is pretty crazy.  It's hard to believe that in this day and age, we can literally watch the second Gulf War as it is happening.  The other night, was actually watching a battle in Umm Qasr live on television!  I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  And yet, I was so glued to me TV.  I hope we win this war soon, for the Iraqi people, and for the safety of our troops.  God Bless Them!  -- Mike

03/20/03 -- America is at war.  I hope everyone, regardless of how you feel on the war, is showing support for our military troops fighting for freedom.  We are witnessing history right now.  I do feel that the disarmament of Iraq is necessary.  That's my bottom line.  My friends and I were in New York on 09/11/01.  We saw first hand what terrorism can be.  We saw first hand what can happen when weapons of mass destruction are in the hands of the wrong people.  Our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard are protecting our way of life so that our Police Depts., Fire Depts., Doctors, etc. don't have to like they did on 09/11.  My support is given to President Bush and our military troops. -- Mike

03/13/03 -- So how's everyone doing today?  I'm doing good I guess.  My energy level is slightly coming back.  This year had gone by pretty fast.  I can't believe we are in Mid-March already.  I still wish the weather would become more Spring Break-like.

It's always nice when I see someone randomly that I haven't seen in awhile.  I love hearing how other people are doing.  I saw Lu Hernandez the other day.  I hadn't seen him but a few times over the last couple of years.  I was also able to meet his wife.  They both are doing great.  I also saw Ava Landa last week in Houston.  The wedding party from Jason's wedding went out, and that's when I saw her the night of the wedding.  She is well also, attending school in Houston.

Okay, that's all for me this time around.  It's time for me a grab a quick shower before I head back out.  I also need to pack.  Enjoy the day!  -- Mike

03/11/03 -- Well, it's past 12:00 AM Monday night, so that passes for being Tuesday, 03/11.  I can't sleep, so I decided to get up and get on the computer for a bit.  I don't know why I can't sleep right now.  I am watching some crap on VH1 right now.  Today was okay.  I am trying to get every ounce of rest right now.  I am heading out again this week.  It will be fun though.  It's funny because I get up to get on the computer due to the fact that I can't sleep.  So as I am doing so, there is really nothing special to write about!  So, instead of wasting time being bored while trying to fall asleep, I am wasting time being bored while sitting up typing on a computer.  And, everything that I am typing really has no point.  It's not like this entry has so much importance.  In fact, this it's really straight-up pointless.  Oh well, I am a little more tired now, so I guess I accomplished something, right?  Time for me to try the sleep think again.  'Night! -- Mike

03/10/03 -- I don't have much to write today.  Things have been pretty normal over the last few days.  I have a few days of rest before the travel kicks in again this week.  Rest is good!  Alright, I write more later...  -- Mike

03/06/03 -- Man, I am so bummed that typical "March" weather is not here yet.  What's with all the cool and cloudy weather?  I want the heat and sun already!  Isn't Spring Break right around the corner?  Oh well, I hope it comes soon enough.  So does anyone have any good Mardi Gras stories from Tuesday?  I took it easy this year, and didn't go.  I partied more than enough the last two Mardi Gras to make up for this year's absence.  I had a quiet evening of much needed rest & relaxation.  I was so tired from the past week of training and travel that a night of killing it Mardi Gras style didn't sound so attractive anymore.  Alright, time for me to sign out.  So, as Edgar says....."over"!  -- Mike

03/04/03 -- So far this morning has been such crap.  My two cats, Chloe and Figarra (Fig), have some how attracted fleas recently.  They never go outdoors, so I am not quite sure how they got them.  It is a real pain in the butt.  I feel so bad for them because they keep scratching themselves.  After flea collars didn't work last week, I was forced to take them into the vet this morning.  It any of y'all know my pets, then you know how difficult Chloe can be.  It took FOR-E-VER to get her into her little travel cage.  Fig is perfect; she loves to travel.  They are getting their yearly vaccinations, flea dip baths, and flea treatments.  All that is going to cost me like over $250.00 big ones! That much money just for some damn fleas!  Oh well, I guess this stuff happens.  My babies need the treatment.  I am actually a dog person, but these two cats became my sole possession through unique circumstances a few years back.  They have grown on me quite a bit.  So anyway, I have to go pick them up in a few hours.  I hope they are better!  I hope Chloe doesn't bite the vet!

I added a few more picture pages to the Photo Album today.  Be sure to check those out, and leave your comments in the Guest Book.

While at Jason's wedding this weekend, I was able to catch up with what other people are doing through the various people that I saw.  A mother informed me of Amy Herndon's wedding announcement in the Corpus Christi newspaper on Sunday.  I thought I would include it for those who might have missed it.  I hope everyone is well.  Wish me luck with my cats today!  -- Mike

03/03/03 -- This weekend was great!  Jason's wedding was SO exquisite.  I was very honored that he asked me to be his Best Man.  I was so glad that everything was so grand and wonderful, because that is exactly what he deserves.  Alice looked so beautiful in her dress.  As I type this, Jason and Alice are in flight to their honeymoon destination of Tahiti.

Before the wedding, Jason was so nervous.  It was really neat.  I have known Jase since we were six years old.  It was very special for me to be with him on his wedding day.  I know that sounds all sappy.  It's just that being the only boy as I am, having two wonderful sisters,  Jason, and a few others, is the closest thing I have to a real brother.

Everyone did such a great job.  Gabe, Adrian, Mychal, and Ryan were great groomsmen.  Laura (Maid of Honor), Audrey, Bridget, Wendy, and Deborah were such beautiful bridesmaids.  I will have pictures from the wedding up this week, as soon as I get them.  Below is their announcement from the Houston Chronicle on 3/2.  Have a great day!  -- Mike
