The fall colors were brilliant against the patches of snow.
Fresh mountain (tap) water tasted cool and refreshing when we paused for a sip.
Birds tittered incessantly in the trees.

Oh the glamor of work travel… I just spent a week in Dallas for Six Sigma training, but the most eventful moments were as the training wrapped and I made the journey home. Happily, training ended early. To my chagrin, my flight wasn’t until 7 pm so I had a few hours to burn. I [...]

I always have the hardest time coming up with titles for my entries. This one stems from the fact that I’ve started five posts in the last few months, felt ADD coming on each time and abandoned each attempt completely. I think my grandmother would call that a complete lack of “stick-to-it-iveness.” I just call [...]

So I know I live in Houston, but thats not going to stop me from being a tourist! While Kim was visiting this last weekend, we had a grand time adventuring outside of my apartment. She made some pretty keen observations, about the city, our friendship, and me. We discussed that adventures [...]
