Sorry for the gap bwtween entries. I believe that it has been a couple of months since my last one. But, as you will see in coming flood of entries, I've been very busy.

They had a neat Christo/Jeanne-Claude exhibit that Grace really enjoyed. [View Full Entry]

Last week, I had the pleasure of being able to drive clear across the wide state of Texas along Interstate 10 (all on the company nickel). First, I flew into El Paso on the morning of Feb 3rd and picked up a new Honda C-RV at a local dealership. This was the first part of my work in Texas. My job was to deliver it to a coworker in Houston. Now it off to San Antonio via the broad expanse of western Texas. Pretty cool scenery. I thought it was neat to see so much empty space for such a long [View Full Entry]
