Lots of short updates at www.twitter.com/sandymcilree I am trying to stay loyal to this Blog, but Twitter seems to have the cool factor working for it. Some other Bullet Points:

I have a Life Insurance health exam tomorrow. This kind of stuff makes me nervous, I don't know why. It is pretty important to me that if something happens to me, Tricia and the kid will be fine financialy. Although, I would worry from my grave abot Tricia with a large sum of money. She admits that she can't be trusted with money. I should designate my friend Moore to handle the money should something happen. He would make her money on her money even in these crappy times.

I can not tell you how forunate I am to have a good job, and a solid 5 year contract. Seeing so many people lose their jobs sucks, I pray this new economic plan works.

Do the people dressed up as Uncle Sam and the Statue of Liberty outside of Tax Preparation offices crack you up? They do me, I laugh every time I see them.

Excited to play golf with some good friends tomorrow. Problem is I will be the worst one in the group by a mile and I am not THAT bad. One friend played college golf at Indiana University on scholarship, the other is one of the best Amatuer Players in Texas, and the third has won three times on the PGA Tour: The Kemper, The International, and The 2002 PGA Championship. I am not nervous at all. I know all three are better than me and that I could never beat them, so what's to be nervous about? I'll just have fun with the guys.

Super Bowl: I still think the Steelers are the right play for all the gamblers that read this blog. I have reasons to cheer for both: Curt Warner for the Cardinals was thought to be washed up and he has lead his team to the biggest game. The Steelers for their awesome ownership and for "The Rooney Rule" which forces NFL owners to interview at least one Minorty Candidate for a Head Coaching job. That is a great rule, it breaks up "The Good Old Boys" network. I love the forward thinking of the Rooneys. The Steelers broke my heart as a kid beating my Cowboys twice in the Super Bowl.

Tricia is in her 21st week of her pregnancy and is doing great. Her belly is starting to show that she is pregnant, not fat. That is a big deal I have learned with women. She is comfortable for the most part, but is expecting to get much bigger in the weeks to come. Still not sure what we are having. First the Dr says a boy, then a month later he says a girl. Who knows, the good news and the most important news is that the baby is doing great, the anatomy scan last week showed that the measurements were perfect. We are relieved and get more excited every week. It is kind of weird that Tricia and I will have a whole new person in our life. Someone we have never met will be moving in with us. I sure hope he/she likes us and they we like her/him. For the longest time (6 years) it was just us and Bumper, then Bumper went to heaven on Nov 11 and it has just been us. Bring on the child, we are starting to look for a nanny, a nanny that speaks Spanish, spanish only for the baby.

You may have heard us talk about El Rey on the show. This place is great. I have been a member there for a couple of years and love it. It's a guys only Spa and Lounge at 5th and Guadalupe. I got a massage and facial today, then chilled in the lounge and read a magazine and ate lunch. I always get the #5 on a sub roll from Jimmy Jones. They have changed up things at El Rey...you no longer have to be a member to use the facility. Personally, I think being a member is the better way to go if you plan on going 2-3 times a month. Great place to watch Texas Hoops and the Super Bowl. Call them for more ino 472-5858 or check out elreyclub.com Guys trust me, this place is VIP all the way, totally pimp
