A couple of years ago I developed a crush on a co-worker who had recently divorced. Knowing that office romance can be difficult my head was hesitant to explore the situation but my heart was dying to proclaim my attraction. The attraction seemed to be reciprocated but I waffled. As Valentine’s Day approached I thought […]
It’s raining today. No sun. Snow predicted for Wednesday. I’m impatient for spring.
I guess if I really need to look at a blue sky I could head over to the Studio at Las Colinas across the street from where I work and stare at this wall. This is where they shot the Chuck Norton TV […]
My mom is going to drive me crazy if winter doesn’t end soon. She’s been poring over all these seed catalogs for the last few weeks, making lists, and ordering seeds and plants. It wouldn’t be so bad but she has to tell me every single item she wants to order and ask me where […]
Here is part of my very messy office. It isn’t so bad unless I am trying to find something I really need. Like today. I got a call from my realtor in Dallas who said someone has made an offer to buy my old house there. But I needed to find the old survey of […]
I started carrying my camera with me again. I’ve been missing a lot of photo ops by not doing so. I drove by an electrical box off LBJ Freeway with some great graffiti & stickerart that I meant to photograph. I couldn’t quite figure out how to get to it and I was always too […]
We’re finally back to eight-hour days at work after about 6 weeks of nonstop overtime. Plus there were the weekly drives to Dallas to work on the other house. I thought I’d be less tired this week but I’m not. So I’ve done the logical thing and increased my caffeine intake. On top of the […]
Last week I kept switching from an old Supersuckers’ CD to this more recent one by the Mexico City duo Rodrigo and Gabriela. They got their start in music by playing thrash metal in Mexico City in the mode of Megadeath and Slayer. When that didn’t work out they buskered around Europe for a few […]
I watched two vehicles play a dangerous game on the freeway last night. As I drove north on US 75 a Scion entered the freeway from George Bush Turnpike. The road veers right & left due to ongoing construction and creates unusual blind spots for drivers, especially at night. The Scion didn’t see the big […]
I hear Microsoft’s recent release of its Vista operating software was met with less than enthusiastic reviews. One local mega-electronics store stayed open all night waiting for the invasion of loyal hordes and had about 15 customers who braved the night to examine the new packages. Some of these did not buy anything, saying Microsoft […]
Today the masses collect in one another’s homes to worship, huzzah and bow down to the Holy Pigskin that is National Football in the USA. They have been stretching their credit limits to the max and substantially boosting the National Economy in order to purchase food & party favors for their worship services and Wide […]
