And this time, it was more painful and expensive than usual. Every year you have to renew the tags on your car, which involves an inspection. Herself's car is due in May, and look at the date - it's the eleventh hour again. For those uninitiated, you don't go to the DMV in Texas for … Continue reading That Time of Year Again…

Don’t Grow Old
Sometime ago, the grandkids were over. I was chatting with the son-in-law as one of the boys blasted around the corner, faceplanted, got up, shook it off, and continued wherever he was going. I looked at the scene and said, "You know, that's something I can't do anymore either". Getting old really sucks. Little dude. … Continue reading Don’t Grow Old
