When I wrote the post about Austin, it was late and I kept it short. But I may have left folks wondering why we were looking at Austin to begin with, much less why I’m speaking of moving there. So, I’ll recap a bit about us, where we are, and where we’re heading.

Early in the month I attended a “Walk to Bethlehem” event with my dad & step-mom in NM. It was enjoyable and quite interesting with lots of cultural and political info from the time that Jesus made his entry into the world. It reminded me of visiting Colonial Williamsburg, a sort of Historical Bethlehem. It [...]

T’was the night before Christmas and all through la casa
Not a creature was stirring, only the masa.

In hopes old Santa would feel obligado
To bring all the hijos, both buenos y malos

I’m just passing on a couple of interesting blog posts on Santa:
How GoogleEarth Killed Santa
Mourning Santa
Both employ an interesting mix of humor and truth regarding our beloved Santa legend. Enjoy.
Oh, does anyone know of a good link to find the true story of Saint Nicholas?

. . . has stolen my heart.

I don’t know whether I’ll be able to post here or not while we’re on the road. Just in case - I want to wish everyone a very [...]

Sour Coffee

A few days ago, I made the usual pot of coffee for G. When he took the first sip of coffee he got this horrible look on his face and spit the coffee out in the sink. “What’s the matter?” I ask. He then asks me if I used soap in the coffee pot as [...]
