I should tell you…

If you’ve never seen RENT, find the DVD or download, right now, and watch it immediately. I’m not sure this is true, but I did read that the movie cast is the original Broadway cast (except for maybe one). In any case, it’s worth the watch for any teen/adult (Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material […]

Give AND Take part deux

Another rant so soon? Yes, it seems these things come in waves. Furthermore, there have been several things going on. In all kinds of ways, I give a LOT to my community. I give time/skill/talent to charity and other community efforts. I pick up random trash I see. I take a shopping cart from the […]

BNI Bonehead Networker Inconceivable!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a good rant. (Man, I love living in Austin instead of Bryan/”Closet Station”!) Background OK, so I’ve been networking and doing all I can to grow AYW in Austin.

Basically, everyone who follows them knows to plan to meet at the same day/time, downloads the same .mp3 file to their iPod, and presses play at […]

Unfashionably Late

Wow. I’ve been saying these things for years. I’m glad to see Greg Savage really lay down the law to people who make a habit or intention of being late. http://gregsavage.com.au/2010/06/07/no-you-are-not-%E2%80%98running-late%E2%80%99-you-are-rude-and-selfish/

A growing family: Panther

We added four feet to our family this weekend. . Last weekend, after a quick visit with Shelly (a.k.a. Sheldon before they found out he was a she; an 8-week old sibling of Lenoard, Penny, and Howard), we found out that that her parents weren’t quite ready to give her up for adoption like they […]
