I bought a Wii around Christmas time 2007 and played it non stop for about 3 months. It is now buried somewhere in the truck............Gotta keep it clean!!! I met up with some friends in Gatlinburg during Jan 08 and we rented this cabin. It was a lot of fun and good to see some friends on the road...
This is me and my friend Tom in ATL in late Jan 08. we were out for dinner and were attacked by this homeless man. HAHA

I was able to meet up with my friend Carolyn in Columbus, GA. We went out to dinner and then bowling. I met some of her friends who i had heard a lot of stories about. This pic is all i got and i dont remember who won the bowling match............
I went to the bama/AU bball game in Auburn...we lost....shock
and Bama/LSU at Baton Rouge, LA..we lost...again.......
I was in Dallas for work so I met up with Linda and some of her friends. We went to a comedy show and saw John Witherspoon, the dad from FRIDAY, and then went to a piano bar. Witherspoon was very funny..

Luckily, I was able to witness some real basketball and attend the National Championship game between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Memphis Tigers. KU won in OT and it was awesome to see the excitement on the KU fans faces as the final seconds ticked off the clock!!
Minute Maid Park.........astros vs cardinals

Brian Kirk blogging?? What? Can that kid actually sit still for long enough to make a post?

That's my goal. Now lets see if I can do it.

I am currently in Amarillo, TX traveling the country working for Lenox- a division of Newell Rubbermaid. I have been on the road since May 7th, 2007 and have seen every state in the continental US except Maine and Montana. I have seen some great stuff and met a ton of awesome people.

Here are some pics from the road. As you will see I am not very good at taking pics of landmarks!!! The main reason is bc I drive a very LARGE vehicle and it is not that easy to get around big cities. I hope to do more sightseeing this yr!!!!!!!!! Taxi cabs are my friend....

HERE IS MY RIDE....very large....

I am responsible for selling Planograms aka WOLF WALLS to distributors in the Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trades throughout the country. Enough with the work talk.....

Central Park--NYC

These are from NYC. I was in NY for work and my uncle Rusty came over from NJ and showed me around the city. This was my first time to see NYC and I was most impressed with the SKYLINE. it seemed to go on for miles and miles and miles. Rusty was an awesome host. He knew where everything was and how to get there!!! After the day in the city we went back to NJ for some dinner with my aunt Bobie. Then Rusty took me back to my hotel in Newark and someone had broke in the big rig!!! Bad news? nah, i got to stay longer bc the truck was in the shop! Luckily my friends Tom and KK were in town later that week so i got to see them and meet Tom's brother, Troy..... How do I not have pics with them??

The Drake--Chicago
Another big city I have liked since being on the road is Chicago. I was there in Oct. 07 and my friend Linda came up for a weekend and we stayed at the Drake hotel. It was an awesome hotel. On Saturday, we went to the Alabama alumni bar to watch the Bama game. There were TONS of bama fans there and we got there early so we could get a front row seat. after every Bama score the fight song was played and after the game RAMMER JAMMER was blared over the speakers. my buddy Tom met us and we stayed there ALL DAY watching football. Linda loved this part! :) Tom went to school at the University of Arizona but says the is now a Bama fan!! On sunday, we walked around the city and met Al Roker!!!!! woo hoo!

Will post more later!!!!!!!!! This is time consuming!!!!
