A fresh start

Skywatch Friday

Today is the end of my second week of jury duty. While I enjoy the chance to walk around downtown Dallas, I'm ready to get back to my real job. I promise once the trial is over, I'll tell you all about it. LOL.

Other Skywatch Friday sites are here.

Record rain

Driving in Dallas in the rain....always fun. The black spots on the left are birds that don't have enough sense to get out of the rain. DFW airport received the most rain ever in a 24 hour period, 4.26 inches.    There is still a light rain falling this morning, but hopefully, the drive will be less stressful.

Looking up

I cant help but to look up when I'm walking the streets of downtown Dallas.  It was dark and raining when we got out last night. Its still raining this morning and is forecast to rain through tomorrow.  That must mean........

High School baseball practice starts Friday in Texas and things are looking up for the Tigers. This year it looks like there will be a varsity team and two junior varsity teams.  Tryouts will be Friday after school and Saturday morning at 8am.  Hopefully tryouts will be at the ball field.

Terrell Coach Gage Davis will be entering his second year as the Tiger head coach.  He said Corsicana should be the favorite to win District 15-4A.  A lot of the teams in the district, including State Semi-Finalist Mesquite Poteet, lost key players to graduation.  In addition to players moving on, the coach from Red Oak, also in 15-4A is now the coach at Corsicana, and the coach from 2A Palmer moved to Red Oak.

District 15-4A includes Terrell, Corsicana, Poteet, Red Oak, Waxahachie, West Mesquite, Lancaster, Ennis and Forney.  The top 4 finishers in the district make the playoffs.  Last years playoff teams were, Poteet, Red Oak, Forney and Waxahachie.

The beat goes on

Rough Weekend

Back to Dallas for another week on jury duty. 

Too Cold to Hold 2012

Today was run 2 of the Run Project racing series.  Too Cold to Hold is a 5K/15K at Norbuck Park in Dallas. In all of the Run Project races I am already signed up for the longer distance, so I ran the 15K.
Here are the 2012 Too Cold to Hold results.

The next Run Project race is the Dash Down Greenville in March, but we are signed up for a couple of races in February.

I washed my Ipod (for the 2nd time), after last weekends race.  I got an Ipod Touch as a replacement.  Its nice. This photo was taken with the camera after I finished.  It also takes HD video and can connect to the internet with wi-fi.

Google maps

This isn't the best picture, but its a Google maps car.  I'm guessing that's a camera mounted to the top of the car. Maybe used for street view.

I haven't been able to run in a week because of the court schedule, but today I am still going to run the Too Coll to Hold 15K.
