Inspiration
I’m writing at the end of a very nice evening with old and new friends. K. and Asa’s chum, T., come over every Monday for dinner while the Texas legislature is in session. We look forward to their company all … Continue reading
Setting myself up for success
I don’t want anybody to have a heart attack (especially you Dad), but I actually managed to clean the house a bit today. Right, we’re not actually talking clean here. It’s more “not filthy” after four hours of scrubbing. But … Continue reading
Too hot for lettuce!

Racing tumbleweeds
So there’s a bit of altitude here in Albuquerque. I had the most pitiful run around the Albuquerque Academy campus (above) earlier tonight. The tumbleweeds were blowing around a lot faster than I was moving. This one in particular. I … Continue reading
Deicing
It’s 11pm and I’m sitting in the Dallas airport. We just got off the plane that was supposed to take us to Albuquerque because one of the window deicers wasn’t working. This was known before we boarded, while we boarded, … Continue reading
