The weather for the month of January has been surprisingly mild…and sometimes rather warm. On the first day of classes, students were wearing shorts. As the good weather extended into the weekends, I decided to go out and do a little geocaching. Ruben and others like Glenn don’t share my enthusiasm for the hobby. When neither Ruben nor Glenn was willing to go, I found myself introducing the art of geocaching to Brian. If anyone wants to go geocaching with me, just let me know! By the end of the month I reached a milestone by finding my 300th cache.
Ruben and I were so lazy during the final week of 2011. We spent most of it curled up on the couch with the dogs, watching episodes of ‘Community’ on Hulu. If you haven’t seen that show, watch it. My friend Catherine got us hooked on it. Anyway, we attended one final holiday event at Mike and Tom’s place along with Brian and Chris. It was a nice, relaxing evening spent with friends. A few days later, Ruben and I drove down to Houston to count down the final seconds of 2011 with Liz, Vann, Elsa, and Travis. Let’s hope 2012 is a much better year for us all.

When the industry made the switch to diesel power, Union Pacific held onto 844 and decided to maintain it as a working relic of the steam era. Sunday morning this amazing machine passed through College Station. Before it arrived, fellow [...]
February 7, 2010 The 44th Super Bowl became the most watched televised event in American broadcast history. 106 million people watched the New Orleans Saints defeat the Colts and we were among that viewership. We attended a low-key Super Bowl party at Chris and Brian’s place. Watching the game was just an excuse to eat [...]

Ruben and I joined a group of friends at Padraic and Mark’s home to celebrate Mark’s birthday. That night, we also celebrated David’s birthday (He’s James’ BF). We had a great time that evening relaxing with friends and enjoying lots of laughs.

My First Word Was Moon
A lot of things happened in 1969, the year I was born. The Stonewall riots in New York city took place, the Woodstock Festival made musical history, and unknown to most, the Internet was born when the first computer-to-computer link known as ARPANET was established. …
