Hello from Haiti on this 2nd Anniversary of the big earthquake. There hasn't been a lot of mention about it today, but we know it is a sad day in their history and we pray for the continued efforts to rebuild and recover.

Hello, dear Friends and Family, it's Tuesday afternoon, and we just finished Day #2 of camp. As soon as the campers left, the team changed shirts (we're wearing the same shirt for three camp days in-a-row,) and took-up the various work projects again. This is the first day we have NOT had rain, so we were very happy about that! Our toes no longer look like prunes! We woke to sunshine and humidity... Just like Texas!

This was a very, very bad sports weekend for me. In fact, it was a nightmare. First my favorite baseball team since childhood lost their second consecutive World Series despite coming within a strike of a victory, not once but twice. To make matters worse my Aggies (not only did I go to Texas A&M, I grew up close enough to Kyle Field to hear the cannon boom each time they scored) lost in overtime to Missouri.

I’m 39 years old and I cannot remember in my conscious lifetime a death attracting more attention than that of Steve Jobs. His passing has dominated headlines, internet posts and profile picture changes. Responses have ranged from thoughtful eologies to crass terms such as iDied. I suppose the reason for the fascination is that his innovations that included iPod and the mouse (I didn’t know that) are products that we use every day.
