Random thing you didn’t know you didn’t want to know about me
I’m still recovering from a busy weekend. We had relatives in town for part of the weekend; we had a fabulous dinner out with them at the Steamboat House restaraunt, which is named after Sam Houston’s house. Saturday we went to a two-year old’s birthday party. I got tired just watching the kids. There was [...]

I can’t get the hang of Wednesdays!
Yesterday started out reasonably well. I did fairly good in the lunchtime poker game, although I was unable to capitalize on an early lead. My post-lunch meetings went fairly well also. However, things started to go terribly wrong when I was heading home. As I was getting into my car I heard a funny noise. [...]

Happy Halloween and Welcome November!
Yes, I know it is November; in fact, I should probably be saying “Merry Christmas” since all the stores were putting up decorations on November first! We had a fun Halloween. I wore my Doctor Who scarf to work (no one else dressed up at work, so I felt a bit like Pam in “The [...]

Creating a Haunted House
Our neighbors create a haunted house in their garage every year. Apparently in their old neighborhood, they’d have lines to go through it every year. This year, we’ve been helping them out as they decided to upgrade from plastic film walls to plywood partitions. Last night we closed it for the night and added paintings [...]

Gas sipper
If you got it, flaunt it I guess. I spotted this in the parking lot of my local Walmart.

Feeling Friday
Hooray for Friday! It has been a tumultuous week. Thanks for all the good wishes, my brother and his family are doing fine in Armenia, but hope to be back in Tbilisi this weekend. As long as things get peaceful. They’re with several embassy/diplomatic type people, so that’s good as well. Me, I’ve just been [...]

Freaking out
So this is completely non-stitching related, but I’m starting to freak out. My brother and his family all moved to Georgia at the end of July. That Georgia – the one that is basically at war with Russia right now. They have evacuated to Armenia, but beyond that I don’t know how they are doing. [...]

Anything but that
The line goes “Test one two three. Anything but that”. Any guesses as to what it is from? Right now I’m trying out the wordpress app for the iPhone. So any strange missspellings are the result of inadvertant finger taps. Now I just need to be able to post pictures taken with the phone on [...]

Baseball plus Fourth of July plus Tour de France
A week ago, we got to go the baseball game. The Astros played the Red Sox. I’m clueless, so I didn’t realize that it was an interleague game. The Astros lost and not even a rally cap could help them: And we didn’t even know that there would be fireworks – bonus! Of course, they [...]

My post, it got eaten
I did write yesterday, honest! Unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared into the ethernet! Anyway, I reported the story of how the stitching went to a high school graduation over the weekend: Wow – graduating class of 2008! Now I do feel old. Also, everything is bigger in Texas, so there were over 660 in [...]
