Landed some good photos! Keep an eye out for a photo update this week.

On the national news scene, Senator Barack Obama has defeated Senator John McCain in the race for the U.S. Presidency. Read the latest election coverage from the Associated Press here and from CNN here.

The Medina Lady Cats varsity volleyball squad will enter post-season play against D’Hanis tomorrow (Tuesday, Nov. 4) at Utopia, 7 p.m. game time! Congratulations to the Lady Cats for their big win over the Center Point Lady Pirates on Saturday at Schreiner U. I’m looking forward to a deep playoff run! Photos from Saturday’s game to go up this week.

I’ll be out and about shooting the game as the votes are tallied for local and national elections! Don’t forget to get out tomorrow and rock the vote if you haven’t already. My family will pay a visit to the Old Tarpley Schoolhouse to cast our votes, as we’ve done since I was born. My own kiddos, Canon, 1, and McCayla, 4, will join my wife Jacklen and I, so they can begin learning early the importance and value of participating in the democratic process!
