As I mentioned recently the first cold front of the season come through Houston a couple of days ago. It was much cooler, to be sure. However, it was still about 45 degrees outside, so it wasn’t really cold. Well things have changed since then. It was cold when I got up Saturday morning. And …(Read More)
Well today was a sad day for many sports enthusiasts. The World Cup finally came to an end. To be honest, until Doug told me who was playing in the finals, I had no idea; and since my short term memory is shot, I can’t tell you now. I really only knew it was still …(Read More)
Yesterday Evelyn invited me to come do our laundry at her house. I reminded her that I couldn’t leave the pack at the Motel 6 while I was gone. “Bring them with you. They can stay in the yard”. It’s in the mid-70′s during the day now, so being outside, especially after being cooped up …(Read More)

Yesterday I was awakened early by a call. My friend Evelyn called and told Doug “it was time.” No more had to be said. I knew what that meant. We got dressed and headed over to her house. On the way I told Doug I’d rather get a bone set or tooth pulled without anesthetic …(Read More)
