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…
Happy New Year all! For some, Jan 1 marks a day of reflection. For some, hope. For others, reset. Just hit the CTRL ALT DEL because last year sucked. That used to be me. Not today. I cannot imagine how 2017 can be better than 2016. I scroll through Facebook and see so much negativity…

But I like them! I collect them, well, I started last year anyway. My wife has been away for 10 days, she comes back today,…

I had given up; was fully prepared to wander through life with short-term flings sprinkled between a few never-lasting long relationships. And then it all changed. In a second. Like White Rabbit…
If you recall, a few months ago we went on a cruise, found an art auction, and…um…I went a little nuts. So nuts that the gallery invited the suckers (us) to a land event, all expenses paid, 3 nights, all food included, drinks included, to a VIP art show and auction. “Ok babe, let’s go,…
I am so lucky. Sure, bad things happen to me, just as everyone else. Some are trivial, some are important. Nevertheless, I am lucky. Because at the end of it all, I get to be with the greatest person I have ever met. Someone that loves me in ways I never thought existed. I am…
