Had the second of three required membership classes at Baruch HaShem today. It was quite a testimony by the rabbi Marty Waldman.

Went to VPS general meeting and had my picture taken for the VPS Dallas website.

Watched the Miss Texas USA pagean. After they picked out the 20 finalists, I thought Miss Patricio Ashley Walker was quite beautiful. When it was narrowed down to 10 finalists with the evening gown competition, my guesses were Miss Patricio Ashley Walker and Miss Central Plain Tyler Willis. I can't believe Miss Patricio Ashley Walker didn't make it to the 5 finalists, her gown was sparkling. From the five finalists, my guess remained Miss Central Plain Tyler Willis. She picked such a beautiful and conservative evening gown, one that you would not mind taking her to a state dinner, especially in the conservative state of Texas. And I was right, she was crowned the Miss Texas USA 2005. I have been picking winners watching these pageans and I've been right 90% of the time, based on the evening gown and the answer to the final question.
