That… Which Matters Most

  • 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’m calling it a Polar Vortexian, a polar vortex, Texan style. When I came out of work on… Listen ⇢

  • The Alico Building and 1869 Coffee

    I’ve taken probably 25 pictures of the Alico building, and deleted all of them because I didn’t like the way they came out. I think I like the first picture below works well. I was also intrigued by the advertisement for 1869 Coffee. I tried to find the place that… Listen ⇢

    This is the Old Drill Tower found on Columbus in Waco, TX. I tried to search some history, but only found another drill tower that was built in 1971 closer to the river. Clearly, this tower is much older and deserves the name. I don’t think this is used for… 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 ⇢

    I love the yellow door on this blue house. Caught my eye and reminded me of so many of the beach houses I grew up around in Galveston, TX as a boy. There were not a lot of blue houses with yellow doors, but there were a few. So in… Listen ⇢

  • In Memorial of the Imperial, Orpheum, and Strand Theaters

    I loved the way this came about, a picture of pictures, that is actually a memorial mural, of the Imperial, Strand, and Orpheum. They must have been something in their day. I think would prefer those theaters to the ones today because the ones today are too much of an… Listen ⇢
