Best Birthday Ever

Dana — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 03:22:15 +0000

Well, just wrapping up my birthday and I have to say it’s been the best birthday I’ve probably ever had. I feel really blessed today. The number of emails and Facebook and Twitter and voice mail messages I got was overwhealming. Poeple at work were just incredibly kind. And most importantly my wife and daughter and I went out to dinner and had a great time just talking and laughing together. I just feel really loved today.

Thanks everyone! ;-)

The Coachella Adventure

Dana — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 15:42:02 +0000

Well, it’s on! Coachella tickets go on sale today and we’re going!

For those not in the know, Coachella is a 3 day music/arts festival held down by Palm Springs. Honestly I had never heard of it until a few months ago when my daughter told me she wanted to go. Since it was likely that none of her friends would be going, and I wouldn’t let her go without supervision anyway, and also I kind of like hanging out with the kid, I agreed to take her. Kind of a father / daughter adventure. Something to remember.

So we’re all set. I’m friggin broke now (this is one expensive concert!), but it will be worth it. You can’t put a pricetag on stuff like this. Honestly, I don’t even like most of the bands. But it will be a blast hanging out together.

Head on over to the Coachella website and check it out.

Rescue Mission Christmas Party-ing

Dana — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 05:15:00 +0000

The Fresno Rescue Mission is an amazing faith based organization that feeds and houses the homeless, and spreads the good news of Jesus. They also have a shelter specifically for homeless families with kids. Every year, good people from our church family kick in time and money to buy these folks gifts, and throw them a party to celebrate Christmas. It’s just a really great time of love and fellowship and worship.

We took some video this year, and Luke Mundy was kind enough to let me use one of his songs over the second half, which you can download at his website. I hope you enjoy this little video, and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Free Music is Good!

Will somebody please explain the purpose of this to me?

Race for the Cure

Dana — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 15:33:22 +0000

Here we are, in October, and that means that it’s time for the annual Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure. This is a charity Michelle and I got involved in a few years back and it’s really a great organization.

It’s simply amazing how many people are affected by breast cancer. When I first got involved I knew one person who had had breast cancer, but as soon as I started telling people I was doing the run, suddenly I found that was surrounded by friends, family & coworkers who had fought with and beaten this disease, so it’s a worthy cause.

This year we had to play it a little more low key. We didn’t form a team or do a bunch of mondo fund raising like in the past. Life is just crazy busy right now and it’s all I could do to just get in shape for the run. But I’ll be there doing the 5K and then the walk along with Paul and Jen and some other friends and family.

The race is next saturday, the 25th at Fresno State. Here’s a link to the website. Come on out!

Tattoo Progress…. one more sitting to go!

Dana — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:53:52 +0000

I like my tattoos. I just don’t like the process of getting my tattoos. It hurts, it’s time consuming, and they take time to heal. Luckily I only have one more sitting to go and my cross is done.

Tattoo Time!

Dana — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:27:26 +0000

Well, I got a call from the Tattoo shop yesterday and they asked me if I wanted to move my appointment up by two weeks because they had a cancellation. So I’m headed down to get my tattoo finished tonight. As always, anyone who wants to either make fun of me, or console me, as I cry like a baby while some chick grinds a needle into my skin, is welcome to come on down to Skin Decor around 5 or so.
