Crap day to work outside, but at least he's working! He was filling something up in the back of a truck to use to 'blow out' stuff. We kept stepping over each other getting our coffee.

"Hi. I've started a new photoblog on Facebook and would really love to take your picture. May I?"
"No."
"Okay. Well, have a great night."
"Well, you better hurry up if you're gonna do it."
"I'll be super fast. Do you have any advice for the 30 or so people who like the page?"
"No. Yes. Don't do manual labor. You'll hurt when you get to be my age."

I chose to convert last year. I'd been searching for a religion that has basic values. Less commercialism. Roots, mainly, I'd say. My wife is Catholic and we had talked of religions, but I didn't convert for just marriage. I had been in search many years for one I would feel comfortable with. While in the Philippines I attended mass there and in that country Catholic is the main religion. Everything to me about it was focused to religion and was sacred, as well as beautiful. I have enjoyed my decision and am glad I made it. It's like a new learning but yet it's more comforting than what I had, a fallout of my feeling uncomfortable.

If you go to the website and get anything that isn't the website, it's because the nameservers haven't propagated. It will take anywhere from 24-48 hours, but it usually happens much sooner. When the website is live, I will post here. Thanks.

Getting booed was hard at first. Learning to hear applause from the boos was a really big statement on how we hear and process things. To know that was the first step in knowing what a character is and how to keep up appearances. I loved being the villain and would not trade it for anything.

My sister and I are in Glacier national park. It is so beautiful.
How did standing there, being on that lake by those gorgeous mountains make you feel?
It was just amazing. The water was crystal clear. It was so relaxing...can't explain in the right words.

My cousins from Ohio were visiting during rally. We were riding for Wyoming Wednesday. We went to Devils Tower and through Hulett and got stopped outside of Aladdin because of an accident. We were killing time until traffic moved again.

I learned a life lesson this night. I was wearing black pumps with 5-inch heels. I discovered two things: 1. It's a bad idea to step off a curb into a pot hole while wearing 5-inch heels (I inspected the pavement on Lincolnway pretty quick. We were headed to the first ever ball drop in Cheyenne, which I missed because I was in the bathroom at the Albany inspecting myself and my shoes for damage). And 2. Always find out how much walking you will be doing before wearing 5-inch heels or you may end the night being carried by your friend's boyfriend when your legs give out.
