Favorite Time of Year

I love March Madness! This is definitely my favorite time of the year due to the high number of basketball games going on at the same time. Currently I am in first place in the "pool" that I am playing in thanks to the Bracketology help from CNN/SI.

Besides that going on, my basketball team that I am coaching is still undefeated with 3 games left to play. Next weekend I'll have something exciting to post about...to all my 3 readers...stay tuned!

CSHA Conference

This past weekend I made my way down to Long Beach, CA for the annual convention of the California Speech and Hearing Association. I flew down on Thursday night and stayed with my in-laws who live in Orange County, CA - only a few miles from Long Beach. Anyways, the convention was really good and gave me some great ideas for the kids that I work with as well as ways to advocate for myself in the district that I am in. There is a huge need for Speech Therapists in CA right now. Currently, there are over 3,000 job openings in CA alone! Talk about job security...

I got to eat at some great restaurants including Islands and The Cheesecake Factory; two of my facorite places. If you ever go to the Cheesecake Factory, the orange chicken is killer!

Saturday night I went to Lauren's high school,Mater Dei, to watch the nationally 5th ranked high school boys basketball team play in a state playoff game. What a treat! Taylor King, the star of the team, is headed to Duke University on a scholarship and scored 43 points against the opposing team. As a basketball fanatic...it was amazing to watch!

Overall, it was a great trip but I am definitely glad to be home and be with my wife.

New Toy

So we finally upgraded to a new computer. We purchased a new Dell XPS 410. It is awesome and so much faster than our old computer. It came with a build in DVR to record live tv and then burn them to DVD's. Pretty cool stuff. Anyways, that's been exciting along with my basketball team that I coach winning its first game by 30 points!

Earthquake!

Check out the link below about the earthquake in the Bay Area tonight. We were centered right on top of the epicenter and it was the scariest one I have ever felt. Just glad that God kept us both safe!
