Eleven years at my house

Three decades ago my family relocated to Houston…and the moving never really stopped until recently for all of us. It makes me wonder, what is the definition of a move? I’m going with it being being relative to the relationships … Continue reading

The header for September was a really tough decision. Adam Ant, because we’re seeing him at the Hard Rock Vegas (the one off the Strip, there’s two) in two weeks; or The Princess Bride which celebrates its 25th anniversary on September … Continue reading

New running accomplishments!

Yesterday I crossed the 650-mile  barrier! This puts me within 40 miles of Albuquerque and I may get there right before we leave for Las Vegas. If all goes well with the Tahiti Village gym, I will achieve the destination there. … Continue reading

My awesome comic-book artist friend celebrates today. I do hope he enjoys it despite something he once said years ago, “It’s just another day.” Not to me. Steve has been my chum for 21 years, through thick and thin. Believe … Continue reading

As the old joke goes…who said it wouldn’t last? Actually, probably my parents and maybe some people I share a mutual dislike of. Next year will be the bigger shindig. We’ll be celebrating 10 years and returning to the scene … Continue reading
