This is a place where we can catch up with each other and maybe find some 'missing' friends. Email is good, but infrequent. Forums are too much of a commitment. This is a 'check in' site.

Ten years ago, when I got my first cell phone, it was considered a luxury. People would wonder why your purse was ringing. When they would realize it was a cellphone, they would get curious or surprised or impressed. And I very rarely used it.

His statue stands on Town Lake, and you cannot escape SRfeVer. I wonder how I managed to miss the genius of this blues legend. Perhaps it is because his career was tragically cut short. Maybe it is because I only learned to love the blues in the past ten years.

I don't. It's all a blur. All the ceremony and the protocol have been erased from my memory (or maybe it's senility setting in?). I wonder how much Greg is going to remember?

There are only two places to get good pizza here, and both are at least 20 minutes away through really bad traffic. But here in our little town of Round Rock, one of these great pizza places finally opened a restaurant! Saccone's Pizza is now a short hop away.

I spent many summer vacations in the coal region of Pennsylvania. The mines were all pretty much shut down as far as I could remember. But coal mining never leaves an area. It is prevalent in the very air you breathe, and the dust that lives on. My grandfathers didn't talk too much about the mines.
