ROME
Sunday, June 20, 2010
 
On my mom’s birthday last year, I told her that for her NEXT birthday she could pick any place on the planet and I would fly her there and spend a week with her showing her around.  Just over nine months later, my mom, sister and I went to Italy to celebrate my mom’s upcoming birthday.
 
I’ve

It's been a while

Hey there.  Probably no one ever checks this - and with good reason.  I never say anything interesting and, lately, I don’t say anything at all.
 
Stupid Mac iWeb software bugs have made it a pain to upload to this site, so I’ve kind of gone away from it.  Rook got me some updated software, but my

Monday, July 13, 2009
 
Had fun in Minnesota.  (Pictures here.)  Anne and I spent time each day in the Mall of America.  Two of my favorite restaurants are there (Tony Roma’s and Twin City Grill - with the world’s best fries) and I ate so much, I needed to buy fat pants.  
 
Actually, I needed fat pants before I went to

Escaping the heat
Thursday, June 25, 2009
 
It may only be June, but it is just ridiculously hot here in Houston.  I’m just dying to escape the triple-digit temperatures and go somewhere cooler...like the center of a live volcano.
 
Instead, Anne and I managed to cash in our dwindling supply of frequent flyer miles and get tickets to
