I do like SOME cats by the way.  I like mine.  I do NOT like David's NOID though.

Today at Keystone Church in Keller, TX we celebrated our 3 year anniversary as a church.  The picture to the right (taken from my iPhone) is a perspective from my angle in the Video Booth.  I run Video, Lighting, and screens every other Sunday.  Today was a mess.  Normally we have two people running the lights and video.  However, one of our volunteers didn't show up and I wound up running both until someone else showed up to help me. 

To make it worse, about halfway through service I got paged with system problems at work.  I always knew the day would come where work and church would conflict.  Its a hairy situation because I can't just get up and walk away or service would come to a standstill.  Luckily Michael Bruce was there to take over for me after a few minutes so I could go outside and take the call.  Thankfully, the call didn't last too long and I was able to get back in and fulfill my commitment without too much issue.  Now I get the "joy" of trying to sort out the system outage at work this week and make sure it doesn't happen again.  Especially during our holiday season! 

Keystone's anniversary is a special time for Leslie and I as well.  The real anniversary of Keystone is actually October 23rd, but we had it a little early this year.  October 23rd also happens to be Leslie and my wedding anniversary.  This year marks two years! We were married on October 23rd, 2005 by Brandon Thomas, the pastor of Keystone Church. I think we are going to drive down to San Antonio and spend a couple of nights on the river walk.  This is significant because three years ago I proposed to her at the Tree of Love situated on the banks of the riverwalk!  Of course, she said yes and I have been the happiest person alive since.  What a lucky guy I am to have such a beautiful and loving wife.

On Saturday Leslie and I took the kids to the Texas Motor Speedway for the Goodguys 2007 Hot Rod Car Show.  It's a car show centered round any vehicle 1972 and older.  However, the fact they say 1972 and older just means the body of the car!  Many of these vehicles had interiors and powertrains from much newer cars. In fact, some of the vehicles were so modified I honestly couldn't tell what they started out life as without looking at their tags.  There was a 1950's Ford Truck that had a complete S-10 interior and powertrain.  It was quite cool. To the right is a picture I took under the hood of a 1972 Chevrolet Pickup.  As you can tel it's the motor from a late model Chevrolet Corvette!!  This was one hot truck.  Check out my photo gallery for about a hundred more pictures I took.

Speaking of pictures, one of the things that has really started to pop with me about photography is angles.  I've known this for a long time, but I've really not been able to explain to people why some of my pictures look so different from the average Joe's.  Someone asked me yesterday "How do you take such good pictures?  Is it your camera?"  Well, honestly a good camera can help, but if you just stand in front of a car and snap a picture, it is going to look just like a snapshot taken by the average Joe.  The only different being its an 8 mega-pixel picture with great color pickup.  To take really good pictures, you need to take pictures from angles and positions that the average person doesn't think about.  That means getting down lower, or up higher than the standard "standing" position.  Also, you need to be prepared to get out PhotoShop and crop the image once you get home.  Many times, due to lens limitations, or other obstacles, you can't get the frame you wanted.  So just take the picture, come home and crop out the unwanted area.

I was reading through some blogs that I don't follow on a regular basis and found some information on Doctor Who.  It appears that David Tennant is dating Sophia Myles.  This might be old news for you, or it might not mean anything to you.

Sophia Myles played the woman in "Girl in the Fireplace".  The Doctor fell in love with her in a weird sort of love triange.  I guess he fell for her in real life too, because now they are an item.

Go David!  She's a hottie!  Blonde, and I love those legs!  (Click the image for a full size version).

Also, I am now a real fan of Torchwood (who didn't love "Day One" with all the girls kissing?).
