  • The Little Things

    These are shots of the “little things” that make my Dad’s home. Some of these things have been around the house for years, like the fountain my step-mother had to have for that back patio when they lived in Houston during to 1990s. The birdhouse with “Pops Pub” is there… Listen ⇢

  • Celebrating 60!

    She did it again. My wife surprised me on my birthday. I told her I wanted to go to Balcones Distillery to sample their whiskey for my birthday. She thought it was a splendid idea. So off we headed, the two of us, for a night of sipping whiskey and… Listen ⇢

  • Out And About: Rudy’s, A Bull Rider, and A Smile

    It has been a while since I posted an Out And About. It was September 26, 2020, to be exact. I think I gave up on the series because the Corona Virus had everyone living in so much fear, that they were wearing masks even  while exercising, alone, driving in… Listen ⇢

  • A Gulf Between Then and Now

    Another great find in downtown Waco. If you are older than 40, you will remember the Gulf Station from your youth, along with Texacos and Essos. Shells survived, and Esso became Exxon. The rest have all been replaced by QTs, Sam’s Clubs, and Pilot/Flying Js. Notice several things: there was… Listen ⇢
