So, I switched. After years of the iPhone, I have “gone green” as my wife puts it. Not because of the environmental impact of my new phone, but because I am now green instead of blue on her text thread. That is one thing I do miss about my iPhone, iMessage. It was great. It…
I haven’t written in a while, obviously, a long while. Why? Hurricane Harvey. It got our car, it got our house, but it didn’t get us! We escaped via rescue boat; my wife, our cat, and I. We took a boat from our front door, through the neighborhood, across the freeway, to a parking lot….
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. But duh, you already knew that. So what have I been doing? Well, a lot actually. Those that know me are saying, “Yeah right, you don’t even work!” Those that really know me are saying, “You’ve probably been working 100 hours a week.” Both are true, in some…

Bali, Siem Reap, Bangkok. Beaches, temples, Buddhas. So, much, fun! That was our last leg of our honeymoon. We were married in November, went to Vegas for two days, to Europe for 7, and to Asia for 10! This last trip was very unique, very far, and very fun. The travel: 16 hours from Houston…
Off to the coffee plantation in Ubud, Indonesia. What a great day! We meandered along the road to Ubud, stopped at a few wood carving shops, a silversmith, and a a few metal shops. We were able to grab a new mask and a crazy Balinesian handle for our sliding bathroom door. Good finds! We…
