World of Warcraft: Trade Chat Wisdom
I mentioned before that I love to play World of Warcraft. To some of you, that’s a pretty foreign world. You might not have even heard of an MMORPG. It’s not a branch of the government. It’s a Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Game. Which basically means I...
Reflections
Did you know that such a serene place existed in Dallas, TX? I didn't. This is out at the Audubon. Be sure to use bug spray. The mosquitoes are evil and out for blood.
Five Things on My To-Don’t List
I'm sure most people have made a to-do list at some point in their lives. Some are even obsessed with the satisfaction of ticking things off the to-do lists. I've added things to my list just for the pleasure of ticking them off as done. I've made honey-do lists,...

Have you ever thought about writing down a list of things that make you happy? On a sad or lonely day, a reminder of the simple things that surround me and fill me with joy is exactly what I need to shake the blues. Or at least, put a tiny smile on my face. I know...
Wine and Butterflies in Texas Hillcountry
A bit of magic happened this weekend. I was on a wildflower and winery do-it-yourself tour of the Texas Hill Country, and found myself surrounded by butterflies. Thousands, maybe millions, of them. They coated the roads, the flowers, the air and my imagination. I've...
