Hello young ones. I hope your weekend was a good one. Last weekend we were in Austin at FFFF- Fun fun Funfest. Was it FFF? Well I saw a lot of people having fun. Ryan Gosling was there partying. Was it fun for us though? Not for us. What is was was WWW-work,work,work. It was …(Read More)

My vacation with Evelyn  is over. But that’s OK. It was great. And for those you that have been waiting with bated breath for a description of the final two days of our historic trip here you go: (Don’t freak out; it’s not all minute by minute.) 10am- breakfast at Vintage Villas 11- stupidly caressed …(Read More)

I should feel bad. But I don’t. Yesterday I ran away from home with Evelyn. We came to Austin. I had a Groupon for Vintage Villas, a boutique hotel overlooking Lake Travis. It’d just been burning a hole in my pocket since I’d gotten it last fall. So we decided to hit the road like …(Read More)

I want to thank everyone who sent positive vibes our way for the weekend for we actually had a pretty good day on Saturday- not record setting by any means, but pretty good. Of course we won’t see a dime from it for at least 10 days while the big giant heads at the festival …(Read More)

I know that most people are posting heartwarming Christmas stories about their families. I know I must have one. But for the life of me I can’t remember one right now. But I do indeed have a family story, just not a Christmas story. And if this story doesn’t prove the love parents have for …(Read More)

I haven’t been on a trip fancy vacation in awhile. And by fancy I mean one that involves an airplane or ship of some kind. We did go on our epic trip to NYC last summer. And we had many great adventures. (Who knew I’d be in my late fifties before I Doug and I …(Read More)

I think everybody is afraid of something. I did some research. Some people are afraid of some pretty crazy things. I love most animals. I really do. And some that I should probably be really scared of, like tigers and bears, I’m not so much, scared that is. Maybe that’s because I’ve been able to …(Read More)

I’m happy to report that we’re back home and everything in my world is going to be OK. For a few brief minutes yesterday I was uncertain about that. Now the explanation. We spent the weekend in Austin with Brett. We hadn’t seen him in 6 weeks or so and we were happy that he’d …(Read More)

Last night we went out to dinner with Brett. It was really good, Southern comfort food. (More on that later.) While talking to a guy at the restaurant I kept referring to him as “young one”. Now a bit of explanation- I call almost everyone “young one” or “kiddo”, figuring that probably 75% of the …(Read More)

We came to Austin yesterday to take some furniture to Brett. Since Doug just loves to shop, I’ve got more furniture than I can possibly use and am happy to give some away. Every time we go to Austin, we pass by La Grange, TX. La Grange is famous for two things: kolaches from Weikel’s, …(Read More)
