Lots to be said about the ‘C’ word, and the other ‘C’ word that accompanies. I’m talking about cancer and chemotherapy. Living through it once with dad, now navigating the rough waters with mom. Lots to be said about having a strong bond with the family for support, Ben Lee says it best when he [...]

Civilization 4, I’ve been playing for about 24 hours straight now, the new version adds religious doctrines to the game, thus making global empire building or even global diplomacy for that matter a bit more challenging. Separation of church and state, more for church’s sake, I must say. It’s amazing one of the things your [...]
They are still making tab, perhaps its a ‘comeback.’ Reguardless this stuff doesn’t taste very good. Back to the future commentary circa 1955, McFly: Can I get a tab?Barkeep: You can’t get a tab unless you order something.McFly: Can I get a Pepsi free?Barkeep: If you want a pepsi you’re gonna have to pay for [...]

Over the last week I blazed thru Chris Anderson’s The Long Tail, the book that says the future of business is selling less of more. Interesting book, the companies he pointed out poised for success, Amazon, Netflix, Rhapsody, and others. He also went into an in depth discussion about wiki, how great it is and [...]
First off I’m amazed at Robyn Hitchcock, and I’m ashamed I haven’t discovered his brilliance sooner. Happy fathers day to everyone, I ate an amazing ATM branded dead animal cooked by my brother in law for the event. I often think about my life without the influence of a living dad, I think about other [...]
Caldwell Texas is the scene for a front yard BBQ. I feel like such a TERRIBLE uncle, the first time I’ve EVER seen Kyrsi and Al’s ‘new’ place. I’m young to be a GREAT UNCLE three times over. Niece, and nephews, Krysi, Brad and Alex, a rare day they are all at home, we enjoyed [...]
Downtown Bryan, The Texas Reds Festival, wine tasting and steak, but alas, I drank the Bud Lights and the crazy blue aluminum bottles. Where did these old buildings come from down there? I must say I like what they’ve done to the place, when visiting B/CS, this will now be my focal point. Here’s the [...]
