Downtown - no finer place for sure...

Have you hugged a veteran today?

Christian pushed to the front of the Veteran's Day Parade crowd to snap away...














We shelled out the $5 to purchase this bandana to support the Houston Marine Moms who send care packages out to Iraq.



















Where do I sign?



















Over 70,000 people attended the rally and parade; the best turn-out ever!

Halloween '06: Eye-popping fun!

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door--
Only this and nothing more."

In other words, tiddlers equate to hotdogs for dinner : )

Tangled line, sucken pliers, mis-thrown casts, drowned corks. Let's just call it "accident prone"...

Hats off to a great weekend!

We all got bigger fish to fry...

Josephine's was the place to hang out before catching Edward Osborne Wilson at Jones Hall. E.O., as we affectionately refer to him, is the most respected pioneer of biodiversity in the world, aside from which he's a fanatic entomologist, which adds a slice of mystery to his otherwise nerdy occupation. After all, who could be more enigmatic than someone who can write a whole book about nothing but ants? The topic of the evening was simple, and something that was driven home to me more than once this week: we are killing the world we live in, and if we don't start to take it seriously and do something we are all toast. There was no toast involved at Josephine's that evening, but the fish was pretty darn good : )
