No, really. You might get a prize, you never know. It's that time of year again. This Sunday, March 2, is the 80th Annual Zilker Park Kite Festival, a festival that's been going on in Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, for far longer than I've been alive. I was going to write about it, and then it occ...

 The weather has been interesting lately - up in the low '90's, then down to the '30's - beautiful, sunny, but too windy to be out in it.  March appears to be arriving a bit early this year, based on the wind. Just a little while ago, I went outside to spend some time with the dogs and do some ou...

    I read this article on CNN this morning and I'm still bursting out into giggles every few minutes. I keep picturing the expressions on the faces of the robbers when those folks came through the doors.  One hopes they take it as a learning experience and seek out a new career - when they get o...

I was perusing the news this morning and, on CNN, came across an article on something Sintex Industries, a plastics and textiles manufacturer in Gujarat, India, is doing to deal with both human waste and the need for energy.  If this turns out to be really feasible, I can't wait for it to get to ...

Texas is a land of oddly consistent inconsistency.  As the weatherman once said, during a weather report, "Drought.  Flood.  Drought.  Flood.  Drought.  Flood.  In other words, normal Texas weather."Thus, rainwater collection is nothing new in Central Texas.  (Or anywhere else, for that matter.) ...

Way back when I started as a new agent, I was determined to Do It Right!  Coming from a variety of business backgrounds, I was sure that there was One Right Way to do things, and I was going to find it!  I kept asking my Sales Manager for checklists and things of that ilk so that I'd KNOW that I ...

Today was back to school day for me - Independence Title, one of our local title companies, was putting on their Fab 15 days, two days of courses approved for MCE credit in Texas, and I needed just one tiny little credit hour before renewing my license, so off to school I went.  The course I sign...

Anyone who's not been hiding under a rock for the past several years knows that there's a great debate over global warming - does it exist, or doesn't it?  There's so much propaganda flying around, and so much information to find, never mind process, that it boggles the mind.  Add to that the cur...

Late winter/early spring is rodeo time in Texas.  We go see the events, listen to live music, look at the animals being judged for the livestock show and horse show, eat way  more than is good for us, and generally have a good old time. This year, the dates for the Star of Texas Fair & Rodeo held...

One of the sure signs of spring is the annual Bull Hunt.  That's when you go out to feed, as I did this morning, and discover that in spite of your best attempts at confinement, your bull has followed the honored bull tradition of walkabout in search of nubile wenches.  (You thought Australians i...
