Writer fatigue is a funny beast. It makes you feel like the wires have crossed. You know what you want to say, but something quite different comes out. It’s almost as if the words with similar meaning are tossed into the bin, and my brain randomly pulls one out, looks at it, and goes, “Eh,

On Uber: Fun Happenings During the San Antonio Trip
We decided to take an Uber to San Antonio. It would keep us from having to look for parking and we could actually have a glass of something fun with lunch. Also, our adult daughters always get terribly concerned when we take long trips, so they were strongly hinting that taking an Uber is a

Help us, San Antonio people
One of our friends will be in San Antonio this Sunday. We talk on the phone frequently, but haven’t seen each other in person for years and this is a rare chance to meet. She is available for lunch. Unfortunately, we know zip about lunch restaurants in San Antonio. Hill Country and Austin, no problem,

Thunderstorms and Errands
Behold, the yellow sky. Contrary to what people say, yellow sky doesn’t mean a tornado is coming. Green sky means a tornado. Yellow sky just means a Texas thunderstorm. This video was taken after it blew over us, so you are seeing it as it moves off. You can see how the poor iPhone tried

The Roof, the Barking, and the Failed Quest for Inner Peace
It’s day 8 of the roof construction. We were told it would take 2 weeks. We knew it would be a major disruption. We know the crew is working as hard as they can around the Texas weather. That said, I’ve got to vent. This is a whiny post. You have been warned. I’m so

How My Day Is Going
I have not one but technology-related professional crises on my hands. Two! This is me today. Bleargh.
Yarn Love: Expect the Unexpected
Gordon collects action figures. (Please don’t send him any. He already has pretty much everything.) When a new package arrives to the house, he almost always informs me that the purchase is a “preorder.” As in, it wasn’t a recent splurge, but something that was paid for long ago. I don’t care if it’s preorder

The God of Falling Short
This Tuesday Gordon and I had an interview with a senior media relationship coordinator of Western Carolina University. Gordon graduated from there with a BA in History and a minor in Political Science. I didn’t graduate – my scholarship was cut and I couldn’t afford to go – but I did attend for a bit.

Texas: Hold My Beer
Texas: Hey you know how you and Gordon sometimes wax poetic about moving to Australia, with beautiful beaches and nice hot weather, and random wildlife that tries to murder you? Me, rubbing my eyes first thing in the morning: Mhm. Texas: Don’t go. I love you. Look, I’m really trying. I made this just for

A Trip to Sams
Yesterday we went to Sams. About 3 weeks ago my father informed me during a Skype call that a routine scan found “3 dots” in his lungs. Nobody knew what they were. The dots could have been masses or something else. This was very alarming because Grandfather died of lung cancer. He also smoked unfiltered

Bossy BDH
How to bring out the bossy side of BDH: tell them you are planning a vacation. You guys kill me. It’s humid! There are bugs. There are cars. Y’all have never seen Canyon Lake exit during summer, when it’s backed up for 5 miles down I-35. Hehe. Sadly it is quite humid where we are

Writing Hours
Over on the Facebook fan group, a wonderful person named Sharon explored the Hidden Legacy Houston and took videos and pictures. I particularly loved Sharon’s video of the Arboretum, where she found the exact bench where Nevada and Adam Pierce met. I wish there was a YouTube video so I could link it. But if
