Thing you can't teach...

Coach Bob Knight once said that "there are some things you just can't teach, and tall is one of them." Let me add another one to that, super-unnaturally-crazily stretchy. Just watching this makes me hurt.

Front Page (Porch) News


Melissa and I have been doing community theater, and these past two weeks have been our performances. The press came last night, and this morning, a local internet newspaper put up a bunch of pictures. We were doing selections from different Broadway shows. I had one of the lead parts, and my wife got to do a bunch of dance numbers.

The reviews all week were absolutely positive! People were just amazed that there are so many people in our town that can pull off a production like this. I'm just sad that it's over and there will be no more standing ovations. I'm hoping to do this again real soon.

The local news website Front Porch News has a story up with a bunch of pictures at this link.

Level 1 Certified

According to my profile online, my application for Certified Trainee has been approved. Looks like it's time to order a new collar for my uniform.

It's a ????


I don't know, but I know that I love the little speck on the picture! It's true! My wife is now 10 weeks pregnant with our first child due in October!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am thrilled beyond words! To think that God has entrusted us with a life is overwhelming to say the least.

Today, the ticker says that our baby is only about an inch long. It amazes me to think that this tiny speck will grow and become my son or daughter by October!

Anyway, to celebrate and to keep everyone (especially my family) informed, I have created a new blog at texasbilyeu.blogspot.com so everyone can see how we are doing. I'll have a lot more later, but right now, it's past three.
