  • Dinosaur Valley State Park

    This is where my sister, mom, and I scattered my dad’s ashes on Father’s Day in 2014 (I think) so I’ve actually been here before. Prior to that, I had been to Glen Rose. It was a place where Dad took us and I believe a place he lived in his childhood. I remember swimming…

  • Cleaning and Biking

    It’s Presidents Day and despite the fact that the presidents aren’t really worth celebrating, it was a nice day. We started the day off getting the house cleaned up a bit which always gets me in a better mood. Then my friend Tim came over and we looked over the plantings and hung out for…

  • Record Breaking Bike Ride

    19.55 miles is my new longest bike ride of the modern era. Sandy and I went biking on the Cotton Belt Trail mostly. We started in NRH and went 8.2 miles west into Colleyville. I was mostly manual on the way out and then e-biked it back. A good time was had by all.

  • Perot Museum Field Trip

    The KC Chiefs are the Superbowl champs and it was a nail-biter of a game. I was happy about the outcome. While the 9ers were an amazing football team through the season, they just haven’t paid their dues. A big payment was made last night and they’ll be back. Sandy and I went to exercise…

  • Adrian’s Birthday

    Although it was technically last Sunday, we all got together to celebrate Adrian’s birthday today. It also happens to be Hanna’s boyfriend’s (Mike) birthday. I didn’t realize that but it makes sense, I’ve already called it that Mike and Hanna are going to get married and his birthday falls on the same as her dad…

  • Job Searching & Biking

    I finally think I have a system to start applying to jobs en masse. I created a share on the NAS and will have a main sheet to track applications and keep copies of the posting and what resume I sent. I really need to pay attention to what I’m sending out as I caught…

  • Lunch at Saltgrass

    What a nice day, despite the fact that it didn’t get above 36 today, it was nice to go out with the family to celebrate mom’s and my birthday’s at Saltgrass Steakhouse in Bedford. We went at 2pm so it was nice and quite with barely anyone there. Sandy, mom, and I had the steak…

  • Naples, FL – Thing To Do

    I’ll be in Naples, FL starting 9/22 with tentative departure date of 10/7. I’ll be staying at the Residence Inn Naples located at 4075 Tamiami Trail North, Naples, FL, 34103. These are a few of the things I’ve found on the web.

  • Night Out

    Not that I really needed one but I had a chance to hang out with the Parks and catch the US Women’s Soccer team play, and the bar we were at (Reservoir) also had the Rangers. It was good to see them and the games and there was also some good eats to be had.…

  • Sunday was not a Funday…

    Well I needed steps and hadn’t peopled all weekend so I went to church today and then went to see mom. On the way home, I decided to go to the mall and get some steps. But on the way there I ran over something and got a flat. I actually had to read the…
