Houston's in Snow

This winter has been crazy! I've already talked about the Christmas blizzard and pics are at Flickr, but then two weeks ago we got another major Ice/Snow storm. SNU was closed for two days and local schools up to 5 days.

Caleb and I got the opportunity for more snow art, and instead of the Stegasourus, Caleb wanted to make "all of us". So, here we are in all our snow glory. Daddy, Mommy, Caleb and Nathan. It warmed up a few days later and Nathan was the first casualty, with help from Caleb of course.

I always said growing up, that if it was going to be cold it better snow, well this winter that has been the case, and I have loved it!

In Memory of Fred

This story caught my eye today in the Washington Post, "Frisbee Inventor, Fred Morrison Dies". I never really embraced the disc revolution until I got the left coast, but I have enjoyed many an hour tossing one around with friends and family over the past 10 years.

My greatest frisbee memories are:

1) Playing Frisbee golf with Tony Martin, RA in Ashton hall and launching a disc from the top of the tiered parking lot on SPU's campus with the target of "Chucks" Moyer door. (Only a few cars were hit...each day).

2) Countless times playing on the beach in SoCal. Honestly, if you haven't thrown a frisbee at the beach on a warm sunny day, you're missing out.

3) Throwing a frisbee through a friends car window in a parking lot at APU...all the way through and out the other side...probably the best throw of my life!

Fred, thanks for the great invention!
