Short updates

I am switching gears, slightly, and will now inform the Texans about what's going on here in Oregon.  There isn't much to relate, so I will keep it brief.
I think the most exciting events of the past 24 hours were bubba running out onto the porch last night to greet me, grinning and saying "Ronnie!" over and over, and the llama we saw at the fair that was shaved like a poodle.  No joke.  It was pretty intense.  Oh, and I guess you have to include the demolition derby.  The kids were pretty excited over that one.
In church this morning my father asked if anyone had any God stories, and smirked expectantly at me until I spilled the beans.  I thanked Ollie, and said that her grandson had successfully managed to uproot my life, and she said "are you moving to Texas?  Oh good!"  She was excited to hear the news, and after telling a short version of the story and giving a brief sketch of Breckenridge (minus the beer barn), she came up to me and told me that Dave had always liked Jesse.  Always said he was a good kid, right from the start, and she knew we'd end up there eventually.  I tried to stay and socialize for a little while, but after a few people came and wished us luck, and Barbara handed out orange licorice, I went and got my car and went home to try to get all the info together for Jlyn.
She texted me this morning and said that she is having a meeting tomorrow, and needed some info from me, as well as some references and my dance history.  I finally got it all compiled and sent out about an hour ago.  We spent more time at the fair than I had anticipated.
And that's about the end of my story for today.  I'm about to head home and write the 30-day notice for the leasing office, and hopefully I will get to go to the social security office tomorrow, and get a new phone after work! =]
