			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;">&#8230;and hopefully it will stay that way. The past 3 weekends we&#8217;ve either been @ a wedding or my birthday party in Houston.  So a queit weekend, albeit not at home, has been very nice.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;">I started this weekend with a trip to the masseuse in Granbury. As part of Valentine&#8217;s Day from Dixie this year she had gotten me an appointment @ a boutique in Granbury where I got an hour deep tissue massage. After the 2 days of trauma after the 1st one I felt great the next month or so. My Back and shoulders were really feeling great. I decided to get another appointment yesterday and go back., after 2 months of sitting in front of a computer for 8-10 hours a day and driving 6,000 miles, I was in need of another rub.  Today, a day after my neck and shoulders are really sore and my arms were last night, but they feel much better.  Last time my back was really sore in a few places where I had a few &#8220;knots&#8221;, but this time not so much.  The masseuse said it wouldn&#8217;t be because she had loosened them up last time, and getting a regular monthly massage would keep it that way.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;">Today we&#8217;ve done nothing and I&#8217;ve really liked it.  We&#8217;re in </span><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=granbury,+tx&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=45.063105,93.164063&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;t=h&amp;z=13"><span style="font-size: small;">Granbury</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> @ Dixie’s parent’s house.  That usually means just hanging out &amp; relaxing, &amp; eating good healthy food.  I watched an episode of LOST online this morning. Since I&#8217;ve missed the last 2 episodes of </span><a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index?pn=index"><span style="font-size: small; color: #800080;">LOST</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">, the DVR has been overbooked the past weeks.  Now the rest of day is going to be spent watching the </span><a href="http://www.cbssports.com/golf/tournaments/masters/video"><span style="font-size: small;">Masters</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">, random baseball, and </span><a href="http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20090409&amp;content_id=237605&amp;vkey=news_mls&amp;fext=.jsp"><span style="font-size: small;">soccer</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">. we&#8217;ll have a nice dinner with Dixies&#8217;s Family, then tomorrow we have church with Dixie&#8217;s parents, then an hour and a half drive back to Dallas.  Happy Easter everyone!!!</span></span></p>

<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">This morning we got up took my youngest brother Patrick to eat @ Ozona&#8217;s in C station, not really that good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>The Ice tea was good, and drinking is really the only reason I have gone to Ozona’s in the past in Dallas and it will stay that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>After lunch we headed back to Dallas and got in around 6:30pm.</span></span></span></p>

There are so many great stories to tell from there. Brent has been good friend the past 8 year or so that I&#8217;ve known him, and I&#8217;m really excited for him. Really looking forward to seeing some old friends and his Mom and Dad, their fine folks from the U.P.; the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Houghton, MI to be exact.</span></span></p>
