The road home…asphalt therapy success

There is really nothing like a road trip to clear your head.  I left home a week ago – full of dilemmas, conflicts and decisions to be made…and accepted. I headed to an event where I was a newbie – and oldster (that is strange) During that time, I learned more, met more, laughed more ...

Ahhhh-Austin – a rainy day at SXSW

First things first – last night my friend Lloyd drove me to both SXSW registration and to Zliker Park to see the Moontower Lights.

Wax on, Waxahachie!

After a fun filled evening with old friends, it was time to put my foggy head back into the driving game. Let’s hear it for the rainy morning rush hours in Dallas. Let me go on record – I am no fan of the Texas interstate system – it’s f’d up. Seriously. A big mess ...
