Living Life Together!

Had an awesome afternoon with the Brent & Joanne Smith family! Wii time for the kids then Pizza and homemade cookies! Best pre-Superbowl party ever! (…wait the Superbowl isn’t until next week, right?). This was a perfect example of what they say at The City Church, “Living Life Together!”

…And Happy Birthday to Jack’s sister Becca Norwil in Chandler, AZ

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs last night for movie night (thanks to Netflix). For once the movie was better than the book! We stopped in the middle and had banana splits! But other than that, no other food rained from the sky. That's it for today's food weather report.

Teaching at Trinity

This past semester was my first teaching at Trinity (formally known as LBI) as an Affiliate Faculty member. A lot has changed since I was a student in the early '80's including the school moving to Everett and offering a number of Bachelor of Arts degrees. This semester I was teaching "COMM205 Digital Design Tools I" covering basic design principles coupled with fundamentals of digital design software programs (Photoshop & InDesign). This was a tremendous opportunity to give back merely a fraction of what I gained as a student.

Save the date. =)

Caleb: My new email/IM account, that I have now, has what I hope will be its permanent picture, (This one actually is centred around me.) And if I type this out, when somebody looks at my picture and ask's "When was that?" I'll say, "its on the blog!"
