Blank Billboard in Kyle
Originally uploaded by seanclaes
Really... this blank billboard which is facing South on the Southbound side of the IH-35 access road (meaning folks driving Northbound or on the access road can see it... not those driving south) can be all yours for a price... The number is on the board (so small that you can't really read it unless you stop).

But if you do stop... you should get a great deal on this billboard that will pretty much only be seen by the folks in the Milt's Pit BBQ parking lot (which is what is right in front of the sign). You should pick up some BBQ too.

ADVERTISING WORKS!

Close to a month of Mustache.
The update. I'm just 2 days away from growing my mustache for 30 days. Yes, Movember is almost over. I've talked to many people about men's health concerns such as prostate cancer and I've grown quite the "classic" mustache. I was going for the "Rollie Fingers" but I know now that I can't grow that in 30 days. 

What I was really attempting to do was get 100 people to donate $5 on my "MoSpace" page, thus reaching a hundred people and raisng $500 for my team, TEAM AUS. As of today 6 people have donated a total of $53. I've got 2 days to reach 94 people. Can you do me a favor and at least go on my MoSpace and "rate" me so I know people are going there? If you feel compelled to donate, I'd appreciate it. Here's the link - http://us.movember.com/mospace/568742/
The money goes to the The Prostate Cancer Foundation (www.pcf.org) and LIVESTRONG (WWW.LIVESTRONG.ORG).

Happy Monday all.

Turkey's fighting hunger

This was 2 years ago... but they still have the same mission. The Hays County Food Bank helps a lot of people (who normally wouldn't be able to) have a happy Thanksgiving.

They help people all year-round. This photo was taken at my church (Kyle United Methodist) where we have a year-round canned food drive.

May God be with you this Thanksgiving.

Chris Halenza, owner of Lone Star Kettle Corn
It's my blog co-contributor's birthday. If I could I'd send her some Kettle Corn from Lone Star Kettle Corn for her special day. Happy Birthday Annie "Hobbledog" Downing! Thanks for playing this "Kyle Daily Photo" game with me.

This photo was taken at the Fall Festival in the Plum Creek neighborhood in Kyle, Texas in October 2010.

Chalupa Plate at The Palm Cafe III
Friday night the family wen to dinner at The Palm Cafe that recently opened just outside the Plum Creek neighborhood. The food was good Mexican faire, the place was REALLY clean, and we ran into some neighbors. Good times. This is a shot of my 3 year-old's dinner, a chalupa plate. She ate both of them, and asked for chalupas for breakfest this morning. I think she's a fan. I had the fajitas and they were good as well.

My Movember Mustache. Taken in my Kyle, TX livingroom.
"In 2010 tragically more than 32,000 men will die as a direct result of prostate cancer."

Have you heard of Movember? I hadn't until this year. It's a worldwide movement to raise awareness of men's issues and funds to  support organizations who are working to eliminate them. The visual way this is being done is by men growing a mustache during the month of November. This photo is me on day 8. It's coming along nicely I must say so myself.

I'm a member of TEAM AUS, the Austin team of individuals participating in this movement.
If you'd like to donate ($5 will go a long way), visit my MoSpace Page - http://us.movember.com/mospace/568742/.

My youngest at Chick Fil A today.
I've got to say Chick Fil A is my favorite fast-food restaurant. There are many reasons... but here's my latest. They CATER to the kiddos. This place mat in the photo is available at the restaurant, free. They have sanitizer-wipes available for free. The Cheerios were there at the restaurant.. free.

PLUS...
The playground is behind glass so you can see but not have to hear the kiddos (screaming). They brought the order to the table. The manager came by to ask how we were doing.

How many fast food places can claim ONE of these.. let alone all of them?

Helen Soja circa 2004 in Kyle

October 3, 2010 marked four years since my Grandma Soja passed away. She was an amazing woman and I have fantastic memories of her. Unfortunately, towards the end of her life she developed dementia, a condition that is very similar to Alzheimer’s.

Tomorrow I walk in her honor in the Hays County Memory Walk in San Marcos, Texas. Hence this photo today.

For another photo of Grandma Soja w/ me.. and perhaps to make a donation to Alzheimer's Research, visit my "page"- http://www.memorywalk.kintera.org/hays10/seanclaes
