St. Patrick was a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland, widely recognized as the "Apostle of Ireland" and the primary patron saint of the country. Born in Roman Britain (likely in what is now England, Scotland, or Wales), he was captured at age 16 by Irish raiders and enslaved in Ireland for six … Continue reading Happy St. Paddy’s Day
Spring is springing
Sort of. Last week was stunning. Cool mornings, afternoons in the 80s, sunny. I captured some of it: The red rose is outside my office window. It didn't last. By Sunday, a cold front moved in and by Monday morning, it was frigid. Monday stayed in the high 40s. Psychotic North Texas Spring is all … Continue reading Spring is springing

Don’t know what to think
Don't know what to think about this Iran shitshow. The one thing I'm certain of is we're being lied to from both parties here. I'm not as rah-rah as many. Why?

Texas Floods
Well, it's rainin' here in Texas... https://youtu.be/KC5H9P4F5Uk?si=oL6Ex7LM9YTgMFzb We've been having storms in the evenings last couple days, which is nice. It's been warm, sunny, with a breeze each day so I can get my runs and biking in. Then, as I'm chilling at night, the storms come. Storms during the day means I'll have a … Continue reading Texas Floods
Guitar Work
I had been buying and fixing guitars for sometime when one night my son asked me about how I found instruments on Ebay. So we lit up the computer and I showed him. I had a Yamaha bass that I wasn't in love with, so we searched for basses and I found this diamond in … Continue reading Guitar Work
