Happy Halloween Rob!


We told Rob, the new guy on our team, that we had a costume contest at work today.

We do not, in fact, have one. I don’t know how he will repay us for this prank, but his BrokeBack costume has me concerned. I will remind Rob that it was Kevin Grose who launched this plan. Good luck, Kevin.

Howdy, Rob

David and Airplanes


Maverick and Goose

I got to go to the Edwards Air Force Base Open House and Airshow with David Malloy! It was great. Many cool airplanes and jets and “NASCAR” families! The best part was going VIP or DV (Distinguished Visitor) as they say in the Air Force. We got to chill in a lovely tent whilst we watched the Thunder Birds or “Thunder Cats” to Abel. He plays “Abel” on TV’s ER. He likes beer. A lot.

Special thanks to Kevin Wandell for being our Designated Driver. Any of us could have driven Abel’s car home, except for Abel. But Kevin stepped up and got us back safe to Burbank without leaving Abel in the desert (which was the group consensus for about 20 minutes). Thanks Kevin!

Employee Of The Month


Here’s how it happened:

I was on a business trip in Phoenix, Arizona (Hoozdo, or “the place is hot”, to the Navajo). I was alone. So alone. So I did what any self respecting, overweight, ok, not so self respecting, more like self loathing, guy would do. I went to 2 movies in a row. Hey, it beats a strip club.* (more…)

Mission Phoenix


Hi all. I’m in Phoenix spreading some love. After that heart breaking loss to the Chicago Bears, I figured I’d bring Phoenix a little sunshine. Turns out they have plenty. It’s a freaking desert!

Anyhoo, I’m here until Friday afternoon (work trip). Keep me company with some lovely comments.

UPDATE: NO WAY! Brent Nims was in Phoenix on vacation!  We got to have lunch.  Sweet!

Burbank, Johnny!



Me In The Window


Here’s a little something for those of you that need a new picture of me.

Jeff Hatfield shot this and thought it needed a little something extra.  The answer was me:)

How much is that me in the window?

My Brother


My Brother, born of Earth and Steel
with wounded heart that ne’er did heal.

My Brother, a sister’s truest friend
son of Christ’s namesake and Peaceful King.

My Brother, Love’s own Champion, true.
Father of princesses with eyes of blue.

My Brother, with sticks and drums to keep
the cadence of Creation’s King.

My Brother, who fell to unyielding ills
who runs with joy on Heaven’s hills.

My Brother, treasured by friend and kin.
My Brother, with angels and righteous men.

Happy Birthday Will!


Wilbo Baggins!

In the midst of a very hard weekend, my best son, William Watson Mundell turned 5 years old! Way to go, my boy!

Also, he recently lost his first tooth! I’m very proud of Wilbo Baggins!
1st tooth

Matt passed away early Sunday morning, peacefully. His family was with him. Please forward all his mail to:

Heaven
P.O. Box Jesus

Matt’s finally home with God. And for once, he’s hearing worship music that he can’t complain about.

I guess this is where we start to remember him fondly. Kevin Grose reminded me about Matt’s laugh. I will miss laughing with him. It was pretty sweet when we got laughing.
