  • 9 Degrees

    9°! At least they were close in that regard. I’m never one to place much trust in those who predict the weather, unless it’s August and they predicted hot and sunny weather… because that is what takes place 95% of the time in August, in Texas. What were they predicting… Listen ⇢

  • If a Tree Falls…

    If a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear? Does it make a sound, when no one is around? That was, at one time, a great philosophical question put forth by many seeking to sound wise. How you answer the question, determines a lot about your worldview. In fact,… Listen ⇢

  • Polar Vortexian!

    We are having an actual winter here in central Texas, with freezing rains, sub-freezing temperatures for more than an hour, and possibility of not see above-freezing temperatures for at least 3 days.

    I sent one of these pictures to my sons on their phones, and let them know I had my eye on them. Andy’s response: “Oh dear!”   Listen ⇢

  • More than One Way…

    I was letting Andy have a few dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe’s on Sunday, because he was with us without his brother. I wanted him to feel special. This is the first time that we have had one boy without the other. Given that, I was trying… Listen ⇢

  • Hotel Art

    I complained about the dismal hotel art from one particular chain we stayed in while driving through Tennessee. Not all chains make the same mistake. I like the art from this hotel we stayed in recently in the DFW area. Sadly, I cannot remember the name of the hotel.   Listen ⇢
