... street and some of the cross streets along the way looking for some music to enjoy for the evening. We came across Stubb's BBQ which is pretty famous for have great bands play there. Lucky for us they had one playing that night too, Buddy Guy. For being 73 that man can still play. It was a great show, minus the drunken retards that came there just to socialize and the millions of smokers all of which usually decided to stand in front of me ...

... the paganism's that were they believed were taking place. After the missions were completed we headed to the Lyndon B Johnson National Historical Park we took a tour around the ranch and a ranger led tour in the "Texas White House" and tomorrow we are going the LBJ presidential library. All in all, the day was very relaxed and easy. The cafe we had lunch in had an ...

Alaska Airlines I hear just started doing this direct flight from Seattle to Austin which is cool because it got me here in 3.5 hours. Another 20 min public bus ride for 75 cents and I was at my hotel. I spent the early evening walking around from 6th @ Guadelupe down to 2nd, as far east cas Neche, north to the State Capitol and a bunch of streets in between.

I did the game of count the ...

Andy came to visit before I left for my current excursion.

Great to have the old man come in, but dont think either of us wanted to be in Houston--so drove up to Austin for several days before getting back to Houston roots.

Good to hang with Todd (public apology todd, you knows what I mean).

Will never forget Kevin the cabbie. If I had pictures of this incident, they would be burnt.

... ourselves with early in life. And then when that person fails to be friend, mother, brother, poker buddy, gardening assistant, shoulder to cry on, handyman, mentor, student, and everything else possible, then resentment creeps in and poisons a relationship that you have both agreed must last for all of eternity. Seems nasty.

So why does date A, B, or C want me? They don’t. A and B knew quickly, and C comes around. What I never expected was a D ...

... home, after only a couple of years abroad, she turned 1. To recap, my brother had a girlfriend a day before I left, then when I got home, he had a 1-year-old. Time flies.

Eric is basically just a giant teddy bear, so he's an awesome dad. Libby was tons of fun to be around and we caught her at an amazing age. In front of our eyes, in the few months we were back in the States, she went from crawling to standing, then ...

... it. First, the application shows up online only a week before it's due. The next day, the link is broken. Time is ticking as the deadline is nearing and there's no application to be seen. After plenty of chaos, the application is finally online for good and the deadline is pushed back several times. When you fill out the application, you have to submit it and print it out, along with a bunch of other garbage. You need multiple copies of everything for no ...

... maybe a hardware store. Obama may be in Virginia tomorrow and we may go see him. we have to check how far it is, and he may cancel also because of a sick family member. Shopping...we find all the stores we are looking for. They  were located  on the road we were on yesterday on the way back from Federicksburg. Diane said she knew they were there yesterday, but didn't say anything!Maybe it was too late to say something..... who knows? We did have a good day, today, no problems ...

... off for beer first cause its BYOB...and then when we got to this place it was this huge compound with multiple buildings and the local sheriff there directing parking traffic (guess not much goes on in rural texas on a sat afternoon). Oh and when you check out the pics make sure you take a good look at the sheriff's attractive jeans :) Anyways we went into one of the buildings and there was a huge pit ...

It is almost 12 weeks since I applied for my passport (March 3, 2007) and I have yet to receive it. My flight departs Dallas on Friday, June 1, 2007 and I am on "pins and needles" waiting for my passport. I feel that I can not continue planning my trip without it. I have contacted my congressmen to get help but so far, no results. I might have to go to Houston and spend a whole day in line to secure one.
