Police Stop My Car

Just a quick post....As heard on the show today... enjoy!

Mission: Bolt!

The Radio City Rockettes were in town with a lovely Christmas show.  But, there was no way us fellas were going to go the girlie rockettes show.  We sent momma, while we went on our own adventure.   The Louisiana Boardwalk was OUR territory for tonight's escapade.  

Our mission tonight: to see the new movie Bolt! in 3D!  But first, a stop by the arcade to shoot some video game baddies.  Trale found one game where it was his transformer against another transformer.  After 5 rounds, that other transformer didn't know what hit him... It was a Trale, master of the video game universe!  Booyah!

Off to the theatre.  But first, a pit stop to the lobby concession stand, take out loan, buy popcorn and candy.  Now we're ready for the adventure of Bolt! in 3D.  Glasses on: we're ready.  Mason was unfazed by the characters, weapons, and other projectiles that looked like they would hit him through the 3D specticles..  This was not Trale's first 3D movie, so he too was not going to let a big dog bark him out of the theatre.

With Popcorn and candy successfully down the hatch, the movie ended.  Another successful night out with my gang.

Mission accomplished.

Back in Action...

...for one more week anyway...Christmas is next week!  Whoo hoo!

Did I rest on my time off?  Get away from stress?  hmmmm....

The KRMD Transmitter caught fire!  That's right!  I have pics of our burned up radio transmitter here.  We are still on the air, just at a lower power.

Other than that...

I broke my one day geocaching find record with 16.  (The old record was 10.)  Saw the shuttle while hunting with my wife and 3 year old.  That was pretty cool.  Mason about flipped out in the back seat when he saw it.

Went to the station Christmas Party.  I won Mudbugs tickets in one of the door prizes!

Getting ready for a big break next week, heading to Texas to see family!  Do you have big plans for next week?

Riding off into the sunset...

Tonight I'm taking some time off for a couple of days to recharge. Since I've been moving around so much in the past 12 months, the end result is that I haven't taken any vacation time in nearly two years! I know, it's my fault, but I am still fried from the experience!

In other news, It snowed in Houston today... that's right Houston! James Anthony came in and told me about it so, I immediately called my Dad up and the first thing he told me was that it was snowing hard right now. I couldn't believe it! He was driving down the road at the time and said the snow was starting to slow down traffic. I guess so! It only snows once about every 2 to 3 years...maybe.

Back on the blog Monday!

Not your typical Christmas tune.

Thanks to my buddy Leslie for jogging my memory.  One of my favorite Christmas tunes is "Merry Christmas From The Family" from Robert Earl Keen .  Christmas, Texas style!  You may have heard the Montgomery Gentry version of this song.  The REK version is the original and, in my humble opinion, the best.  So, get your celery and can of fake snow and enjoy!

**I'm working on a better version of the video too.
