Favorite Things To Do

BE OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!
Take long drives by myself ... you get a lot of thinking done that way :) God loves the undivided attention.
Spend a powder day on skis with my friends, enjoy the soft silence of fresh snow, breezing in and out of the trees, and breathing in the clean air.
Snorkel, Dive, anything in the ocean.
Walk on the Beach.
Watch movies with Dale. Or, do just about anything with her, she's a cool second mom, and a neat person.
Ski with my brother.
Spend time with my Dad.
Sit by the campfire and stare at the glowing embers, then stare up at the night sky and count shooting stars.
Rat around the ranch at San Saba, visit the river, check out the wildlife, walk along Burnt Branch Creek looking for indian arrowheads.
Sit on a dock out over the ocean with soft country music playing while I enjoy a glass of Conn Creek Anthology and stare at the night sky.
Enjoy a really good glass of Blanton's with a nice Cuban Cigar!
