My mom's birthday is tomorrow and I need a present stat! We spent the weekend at the cabin, with Grandpa Fischer, Granny, Vera and my parents. It was fun, the kids were a little bit sick and had a tough day yesterday. Hopefully today will be a bit better, we are having a BBQ at our place tonight, so that should be good. Phil's (ViviAnne's dad) birthday is also tomorrow, so I need to get something for him as well. Busy, busy week!
Peace

Back to the Northwest
Well, I am back from San Antonio. It was a good trip and I am pretty sure that I will be going to Hawaii next May to help with the SSR Annual Meeting as well. Ya, trip to Hawaii! It is in Kona on the big island so that should be a lot of fun. ViviAnne is planning on meeting me after the conference is over and we will spend some romantic days and nights together on beach. I got a pretty desent picture of the last evening dance, here it is.
These people are really great and love to party, plus they had a fantastic band that could play just about anything. I added a picture of the Alamo, I didn't take it though, I stole it from Google Images, Ha!

At the Alamo
Well, my hotel is just a block away from the historic Alamo in downtown San Antonio. It is just a tiny winy little fort, not too much to look at really. I think that most people who have never been to it hold it in such high regard, as a place where Texas nationals held back the forces of Mexico, if only for a short time. I don't think that I have every really been impressed by it. This is a bit odd as I grew up in Texas and the whole educational system is bent on teaching kids that Texas is the biggest, bestest place on earth. It is ironic that they failed with one of their most iconic historical sites. Such is life.
San Antonio is very nice though, I spent the better part of an hour last night walking through the River Walk area and checking out the places to eat, which there are a lot of. Tonight the SSR reception is at the Institute of Texan Cultures. Pause. Not to sure what this name implies. Pause. Or why Cultures is plural, but I will find out tonight!
