Day trip to Shiner, Texas

Chris — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 06:05:24 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Carlos and I took off on a Wednesday to make our pilgrimage to the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas. We decided to make a whole “guys day” out of the trip. First, we stopped for lunch at Black’s Barbecue in Lockhart. Great barbecue at Texas’ oldest barbecue restaurant [...]

Bluegrass at Creekside Lounge

We headed downtown to Jo’s Cafe with Carlos & Lorna for our monthly night out together. Life is so hectic that we have to schedule time to see each other, even though we live only about 15 minutes away from each other. We had a great time catching up. After closing down Jo’s, Lindsey and I [...]

Texas Relays 2009

Chris — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 05:13:06 +0000

The Texas Relays 2009 happened two weeks ago here in Austin and I always try to make it, at least to watch the pole vault and running finals. This year’s university men’s pole vault was very entertaining. It always brings me back to my pole vault days, albeit at much lower heights. [...]

How to save the environment, one mow at a time

Chris — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:22:53 +0000

Well, we finally bought the reel mower that we have been wanting forever. And let me tell, it is awesome! It has been a long journey to this point after going through an electric mower whose motor burned out and a hand-me-down gas mower that was just a hassle to work with every time. We researched [...]

“This I believe” inspiration

Chris — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 05:27:00 +0000

While driving home today from a consultation in New Braunfels, I got stuck in traffic on I-35 (big surprise, right?). I was lucky to have been in traffic because I would have missed the final “This I Believe” essay on NPR’s All Things Considered. They left the best for last… the essay was by Muhammad [...]

This past weekend we decided to take a little trip to Helotes, Texas to see the Randy Rogers Band at the famous John T. Floore Country Store. We decided to make a weekend of it and stayed in Bergheim at Lindsey’s aunt Pam’s house. Bergheim is only 20 miles from Helotes so the drive was very [...]

Well, it’s 2009 and we finally have a blog. We have been wanting to set up a blog for a while now. After a couple of false starts with previous attempts, I think we will be dedicated to this endeavor. We hope to keep all of our friends and family up-to-date with our lives and [...]
