  • 2017-05-16 Relaxing to the Sound of Storms

    It’s one of my favorite things. There is nothing like a spring thunderstorm in the midwest. They usually roll into an area with very little notice and most times, it looks and sounds like all hell is breaking loose. Then once the front passes, it can be hours of rain and low thunder. Tonight is…

  • 2017-05-16 To Market, To Market..

    To buy a fat pig. Home again, home again, Jiggety-jig. I’ve mostly gotten out of the habit of reading my last blog post when I open my laptop to write the next one. It’s really in the interest of time. If I start by reading, the next thing I know I’m editing and then comes…

  • 2017-05-15 Austin – Monday’s Are Different Here

    For real yo! OK So the truth is, it is 11:PM at night and I’ve got a solid buzz and hopped on thoughts and feels. Tomorrow I have to go back home and face reality. Tomorrow I have to go back home and belly back up to the office environment I have come to hate…

  • 2017-05-15 Austin – Mother’s Day Sunday Fun Day

    It appears that each of my blog posts are a day behind. I’m writing about yesterday when I wake up and that’s probably because I don’t want to miss a minute of the action during the day/evening to write. This time is no exception. By the time I got up yesterday morning the bounce house…

    I woke up on Saturday after a glorious 9 hours of sleep. I can’t tell you when the last time it was I had 9 hours. Friday after work we went to a place called Stubbs which is an outside BBQ place where they not only serve drinks but also have a play are and…

  • 2017-05-13 Austin – Working and Catching Up

    Sadly the first order of business when I arrived on Thursday (after lunch of course) was to dig right into some work stuff that was of the utmost importance, according to my former boss who is now the Chief Operations Officer. Behind that I have feature “X” that is broken and is of utmost importance…

  • 2017-05-12 Austin – The District Kitchen.. 3.5

    On my first night in town Rebecca and I flew solo for a girls dinner out at a place called the District Kitchen, and I had (you can guess), a cheeseburger. It was a bison burger, seasoned and cooked really well with just a touch not enough white cheddar cheese. The fries were good and…

  • 2017-05-12 Live from Austin Texas

    Every time I visit here I’m reminded how this is my home away from home. There is no other place in the world I feel more at home that is not my actual home. I sleep well here, eat well, and generally feel so much better about my life. Most of that is thanks to…
