I am thankful for Thanksgiving break, and for being home on Thanksgiving break.

Last weekend, the Cowboy Band came to Dallas and we played for the Neiman Marcus Christmas tree lighting. I’m sure it has some other special name, but basically they lit-up 100,000 lights around their store in downtown, and revealed the “Neiman Marcus Christmas Tree” - this year, it was made out of money… $1,000,000 in retired/shredded $1 bills, to be exact. I didn’t get a picture of the tree, but some of the pictures I did take are posted at flickr (slideshow ).

I stayed home that weekend, and Saturday morning me and dad went to the Cycle World International Motorcycle Show at the Ft. Worth Convention Center; again, pictures on flickr (slideshow )… I sat on some really nice bikes, and it really made me want to start riding again. The only real problem is where in Abilene to store it when it rains…

That afternoon, we headed to another one of those events where car manufacturers let you drive their new models around a test course… and if I get a new car anytime soon, it’ll be a Dodge Charger SRT-8.

Yeah, it’s got a Hemi.

Then came 2 more days of school, and now it’s Thanksgiving break. The Chuy’s Christmas Parade is in a few days; watch flickr for pictures.

Oh yeah, almost forgot… uploaded some updates to the site/theme today:

  • added some icons here and there
  • fixed the Photos page (it looked weird for bit there)
  • added an Archives page

Anyways, as usual let me know if you see anything you think doesn’t look right.
