In Costa Rica for the week for work. I got here Friday night, so my coworkers had some tourist activities planned for me: a (dormant) volcano, a shortened tour of downtown San Jose (rain), Carara National Park, and a trip to a beach on the Pacific Ocean. I thought their attempts to kill me with acti...

My cycling ebbs and flows. I rode heavily from 1993-1997, participating in five Houston-to-Austin MS150s, 170 miles over 2 days. (I finished four, had the flu the first year and only finished 80 miles). My next phase was from 2010-2012, in which I rode (and finished!) six different 100 mile rides. P...

On Sunday mornings I make coffee for after the church service (18 pots!). We'd heard the boil notice would be lifted later on Sunday, so we decided to go ahead with making the coffee. Below is a typical conversation about said coffee: Coffee drinker: Did you boil the water? Me: No. CD: Did you use b...

I need to start a variation of this thread titled, "GOODBYE SUCKERS, I'M GETTING MARRIED!" And in the thread I'll paste (minus the links) the e-mails I've received from "women" (scammers and porn sites) who have looked at my profile (never saying which profile) telling me how cute I am (well, duh). ...

Finally got around to watching season 4 of Sherlock.

Meh. Episode 1 was OK, lot more about Mary than anyone else. Episode 2 was very good, with a villain based on Jimmy Savile. Episode 3 was disappointing. It seemed like it would be a good story (no spoilers), but it just didn't click with me.

Take that, cancer.

A few months ago I was bored and looking for a show to binge. On Netflix I found 2 seasons of a Ukrainian show called The Sniffer. It's about a consultant for their federal police that can "Sherlock Holmes" a crime scene based on the smells. Most of the plot was preposterous, but I found it oddly in...

I'm betting the Trump team will blame the poor turnout on the weather.

I've heard the P Street Band has a golden sound.

When Sparty smiles it makes him sneeze. Smile, sneeze. Repeat.

White Texas teens chant ‘build that wall’ at Hispanics during high school volleyball match “Build that wall.” It’s a phrase that became synonymous with Donald Trump’s high-intensity campaign rallies, an expression that became more rallying cry than policy proposal during his rise to political power...

The latest Jack Reacher book was released in the last week or so, and I've been trying to find time to start it.

She'll probably wonder why someone remade that Jessica Simpson song.

Been away for a few days, so belated condolences for the doggies who passed away. Here's a picture of my boy Spartacus rolling around in the yard. My roommate's cat Pandy seems unamused.

Working my way through season 1 of Luke Cage. The Netflix superhero shows seem to move at a slower pace, but the acting is very good, and the music and location shots are excellent.

I voted yesterday in Williamson County (north Austin and surrounding cities). My district's voting location is a couple of blocks from my house and has always been quick and painless, and yesterday was no exception. I was in and out of there in 10 minutes. The workers were friendly, polite, and gave...
