We surprised our kids in April 2008 with a train trip to Fort Worth from Oklahoma City. This is the best resolution version of this movie that I have at this point. What FUN this was!
I found this video tonight as I was looking at data on an old hard drive. Unfortunately the new version of iMovie isn’t compatible with the older version I created this with. If I find a copy at some point I may encode this at a higher resolution. At least we have this version!
This video from last Saturday night at FrightNight at Frontier City is pretty cute.
Here are a few of my favorite photos from the Flickr set of the event.
We love this October tradition! We saved about $35 this year purchasing our Frontier City tickets in advance from our local AAA office in Edmond.

“Treasure Island” is available as a free, public domain audiobook via LibriVox in the United States. Use the links below to directly load mp3 versions of each chapter on your mobile phone.
I created this list for my wife and daughter, who are driving from Lubbock, Texas, to Oklahoma City today and forgot to load up an iPhone or iPod with audiobooks or podcasts! This list is (hopefully) a little easier to link to from an iPhone, compared to the original webpage on LibrVox.

This is a 4.5 minute video I took with my iPhone4 last week when our family visited Disneyland in California, and stayed for the evening fireworks show. It was great!

It’s hard to beat open faced roast beef with brown gravy, cabbage and fried okra. Yum!
Thanks to Yelp for the recommendation!

I’ve published all the photos from the trip Sarah and I took to New Hampshire and Maine last week to a new Flickr collection.
I still have more videos to publish, but it’s good to have all the photos online. I’ve found if I don’t share photos fairly soon after a trip, lots of other things get my attention and it’s more challenging to do it later. Lots of GREAT memories were made on this trip. 🙂

We had some pretty good looking trick or treaters in our family this year! Rachel and I were in Manhattan, Kansas for Halloween. Shelly posted two photos of Sarah and Alexander in their costumes, so we were able to see them when we were in Kansas, even if we didn’t get to trick or treat together this year.
This video is an interview with Dr Brent Benkelman, as he supervised the final preparations of the 120th pig he’s cooked in his life. Brent co-hosts an annual pig roast potluck for friends in Manhattan, Kansas.
See more photos from my Flickr set of this weekend’s festivities, which included the disappointing loss of KSU to Nebraska. It was a great time of family fun, despite the football loss!

It was a treat to see this amazing sculpture exhibit of mustangs today in Las Colinas, Texas.
There is a similar sculpture in Oklahoma City down on the river near Bricktown. These are photos I took this summer on the river boat ride.
I’m not sure if the same artist is responsible for both, but they are both VERY impressive sculptures!

A few years ago Alexander flew with me to Washington DC, and we had a layover in Chicago. He saw Lake Michigan from the air for the first time then, but yesterday he saw it IN PERSON for the first time. Very impressive!
Rachel is with me (Dad) today at the University of North Texas, and among other things is going to teach my pre-service education students about AudioBoo. This was her practice “Hello” on AudioBoo this morning.
