I’ve been looking for a home for awhile now. Nothing I find seems to fit the vague picture in my head. Attempts to flesh out the details falter somehow and the picture remains vague.
Last night I watched the movie “Garden State”, which was supposed to be a great movie. To me it was average or [...]

What’s Home?
Cold and Wet
Houston actually got some snow this year. And early in December, at that!

I hear that El Campo (an hour south) got three inches. It was a good day to stay inside. Steve and I worked on gluing some chairs that Amy has, but [...]
