After a nice July full of down time on multiple fronts, it’s time to start blogging again. In July we went to Austin to see my family and then on to Gulf Shores, Alabama for some beach time. On the way, we ate Prejeans, one of my favorite restaurants of all time. Heather has some […]

Heather and I got back from a great vacation yesterday. She’s got a few pics up at her site. We spent a week on Maui. Heather put the trip together as a surprise Christmas present.  Good surprise. A lot of people worked with her to make it happen while keeping it a secret from me.  […]

While my blog was down last week, I was in the Pacific Northwest, staying in a cabin in the woods near Bellingham, Washington, where we once lived for six years. No phone, email, or TV. Just a nice cabin, a wood-burning stove, a pile of books, and silence. It was great. Autumn in the Northwest […]

While Heather is out of the country on a mission trip, the boys and I are spending some time in Texas with my parents. Last night it started raining. And it rained and rained and rained. Long story short: we’re right in the middle of all of the flooding just north of Austin that you’re […]

I haven’t been around the computer much in the past few days. Here’s a picture proving that I caught some fish on my fishing trip in British Columbia in July.
