We had a very enjoyable weekend. I went with Alicia's friends family to watch Alicia and her friends run in the Rodeo 10k run on Saturday and I also attended the Rice Alumni College weekend.
Alicia's freind's family is very nice. They are very funny people. Ofcourse that is what everybody says about us also. I guess we are all very funny people. We all had lunch at one of our favorite places after the run, IHOP.
Alumni College weekend was terrific, it ran Friday to Sunday. Now you might say what was I doing at the Rice Alumni weekend since I am not a Rice Alumni, I'm a University of Florida Alumni, but since my daughter is a Rice student, I was also invited to attend. At the Alumni College we had many classes that we could pick from to attend. I enjoyed 70 % of the classes I attended. I also skipped two classes because I was at the Rodeo run. The classes were very interesting. The Rice folks were very very nice. Rice also provided all the meals and the meals were excellent. One of the dinners was at the Petroleum Club, and boy was that good. I had forgotten how good the Petroleum Club was. I had been there once before when I was in the petroleum business many years ago. Till later.

Hay Caramba Jorge!!!
Welcome to the narcisistic world of blogging! I read a statistic that about 8% of people on the internet keep a blog, and about 47% of people read blogs! We are indeed an elite group!
I love your blog. I love the " Lifes an adventure & you just have to live it!" part and the "c'est la vie!" part. I wholeheartedly subscribe to both of those sayings!
I can't believe how much you've packed into the last week including starting this blog. Strong Work!
Your farm is absolutlely beautiful! O has invited the Melrose Homeschool to come there for a field trip. Please send us the registration forms and brochures.
Love all the pictures. However, I must say I noticed the lack of Kiefer Sutherland pictures on this site. What's up with that? I will now have to post some pictures of Kiefer being a cowboy on my site!
I'm at O's now for espanol clase.
Gotta go as O has stunk up the house with her salmon burger. Yuck!
We're off to horseback riding now. I love your horse. He is beautiful. Next Leyla is watching my kids as Steve and I are meeting with a reading teacher and the director of the Reading and Language development program at Tufts today to see what we can do to get my daughter reading better.
I'll check your blog daily and I could link you to my blog if that's ok. Take care! L
L. Yes you were my inspiration. Thanks for liking my sayings. I've always said them.
You're my first reader. And you also commented, thanks. O was the first looker.
O's right. You betja, all y'll invited to come down to Texas. We'll try to show y'all a ball. Just holler at me and I'll be fixin' for your company. Y'll thoughty, now don't get cattywampus or cornfused, just get in that wahtsamacallit (car) or thing-a-majig (plane) and head on down. We's awaiting.
Anyways, O's got a copy of all the forms.
Good luck with the reading teacher, but don't show the teacher this response. They might not approve. O's a great cook, I don't think she makes anything that's not delicious. At least not in my book.
Link away L. I like your use of caramba. Hasta otro tiempo.
What is the Petroleum Club??
O. The Petroleum Club is a very upscale dinner club (private restaurant) at the top of a very tall sky scraper in downtown Houston over looking the city were the big wigs in the oil business go to eat, discuss very big business, and close deals. I think it used to be a lot more famous in the 80's when oil was really the biggest thing in Houston. Take Care Jorge
