Fantasy Football

I have created another Fantasy Football League again this year. Kind of excited this year. The last 4 years, my friends and I here in Taiwan have competed. This year, we have decided to form an Asian league. The requirement is simple: must live in an Asian country. Only 1 person from a country will be allowed to participate. At first, I was worried that I wouldn't get the other 7 slots filled. But, as it turned out, all 7 are filled from people in Japan, Korea, Singapore, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and of course, me here in Taiwan. Kind of excited about it. So now there is the Taiwan League and the Asian League. Will keep you posted on the progress.

GameBreaker Football game

Well, just completed another season in the Dynasty Mode of GameBreaker. I started out as an assistant at Texas. I know...treason for an Arkansas boy. I was the Offensive Coordinator. We won the national Championship. After that, I spent 2 years as the Head Coach of UConn. We won the National Title my second year. I have now been at Penn State for 2 years, having secured another National Title.

My "dream" job of course is at Arkansas. The last 5 years, they have not had a winning record. As a matter of fact, they have only won 4 games a year. So, what hasn't that job opened up? So frustrtaing. After the "last season," I was hoping it would open up. It didn't. However, teams like Purdue [10-2], Alabama [9-3], Notre Dame [8-4], and Oregon State [11-1] opened up. Go figure.......

I have decided to stay at Penn State and try for back to back titles.

Love the game........

Typhoon Day

Big Typhoon hit Taiwan today. Can't go out. Play with Daniel and Caitlin. Funny thing is that a couple of weeks ago, my mom called me and was so worried because someone kept calling her about the typhoon that was going to hit Taiwan. I told her that if she worried for every typhoon, she wouldn't get any sleep for 2 months. This is our 3rd typhoon since that conversation.

Major Update

I have been quite busy lately. Will have pics soon. My old computer finally gave out. Had to get another one. Thank you JR! Here is a rundown of some things that have happened in the last few months.

1. Went to the US to see mom and friends. While I was there, I had the honor of performing Robbie's and Robyn's marriage ceremony. I also had the honor of speaking in 2 churches: New Liberty and Osceola 1st. New Liberty has always been special to me. It was the church I was saved in. It was kind of strange preaching there. Memories kept coming back to me as I walked through the church. Not much has changed since I went there. I hadn't been a member there for over 20 years. Osceola 1st was an interesting experience. I said a few words about my work here in Taiwan, then opened the floor to questions. I was suprised by the number of questions asked and the knowledge they knew about Taiwan.

2. Daniel celebrated his 6th birthday in the US. Had 2 birthday parties. I told him that he shouldn't expect that every year.

3. Began working at Pingtung National University of Science and Technology. It has the largest campus of any university in Asia. The scenery is breathtaking. When I turn to go into the school, the first thing I see is the outline of mountains. Great place to work.

4. Daniel graduated kindergarten. He was in the English skit. Who would have thought that?

5. Caitlin is almost 1 year old. She said "daddy" and daddy was happy.

6. Will be presenting a paper, "Human Rights Under Martial Law of Taiwan." Excited and nervous.

7. Celebrated my own birthday.

There are more things. I PROMISE to put up some pics whenever I download them out of my camera.
