Oh my. But I wanted to visit you in Colorado. :( I guess I'll just have to go to STUPID TEXAS instead, hmm? :)
Congrats on the job!!!!

Ten bucks says California by 2007. :) jk
Wow, I was begining to wonder what happened to you guys. Good Luck in Texas.
Texas is wonderful. Honest. Been married there. Lived there. Would go back in a flash. We lived in Longview - almost on the the Texas/Louisiana border - east Texas. Probably not like Denton, TX. You never heard of goat BBQ? Yankee . . . Hope you enjoy your Texas experience ! Texas people are friendly, hospitable and love to hear yankees talk. Did you learn to say 'y'all' yet? or 'all y'yall'? You'll make it, Angela. Congratulations on a really cool opportunity. - jas
