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.
Since I didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving day with my parent, I drove down to see them the following day to keep our relatively-new tradition of holiday-geocaching. With my iPhone and GPS receiver at the ready, we explored areas in the North-Waco area for hidden treasures. We had a lot of fun finding eleven caches that day.
June 24-25, 2011 Thursday, we rented a car and headed East to see the Hoover Dam. What an amazing structure! I love exploring places like this. The four of us went on a new “dam tour” that offered deeper access to the complex. It was so cool (I know….I’m a geek). I had planned on [...]
March 26, 2011 Several years ago, I met Tina when she became a viz-student in my department and we became friends. Like most Vizzers, she graduated, and headed West to work in the CG industry. Eventually, she returned to Aggieland, continuing to work as a graphic artist, and met a guy named Scott. On March [...]
November 25, 2010 Thursday morning, Ginger and I jumped in the car and made our way to central Texas to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my family. I was so glad to see a nice sized crowd at my Granny’s little house in Gholson. We had plenty of laughs and more than enough food. The [...]
May 16, 2010 One of the best things I like about geocaching is that it reminds you that you don’t have to go far to go exploring. Earlier this month, Glenn accompanied me to a gathering organized for geocachers in the Brazos Valley. It was a fun laidback get-together with some fellow geocaching geeks. A [...]
March 6, 2010 My old friends, Rob and Lamon, came into town to attend a continuing education conference for veterinarians. Lamon is the animal doctor and Rob is a plant doctor (plant molecular biologist). While Lamon was at his meetings, Rob and I joined Glenn and his friend, Gigi for a day at Lick Creek [...]
February 27, 2010 The last week of February was warm and sunny. It’s hard to believe it snowed just a few days ago. Ahh…this crazy Texas weather. Since the sun was out, I didn’t want to waste my Saturday cooped up indoors, so I invited Glenn to go geocaching while Ruben was busy being an [...]
