Aspy came home from the vet today. Genna and the vet decided that it would be best to let him come home and keep an eye on him for a few days. He’s heavily loaded with pain killers, and his leg is swollen, but he’s up and able to get around. Wendy said that the […]

Huntsville Times feature write Lee Roop has a nice article today about Terry’s Pizza: Pizza lovers recall times at Terry’s ‘cheesy heaven’. If you read this blog, some of the words may sound familiar to you. Oh yeah, the “woman at the other end of the phone” — that was Wendy.

We learned tonight that Aspy, one of our favorite horses at Genn’s barn, has broken his leg and will have to be put down. Apsy is a beautiful big gelding in the color that is called “flea-bitten gray” (Wendy had to explain to me that flea-bitten does not refer to the horse’s hygiene, but to […]

I’ve made my own list of […]

How hot is the heat wave sweeping across the US? It’s so bad that houses are exploding in Illinois and New York. People who have trouble with 100-degree weather get absolutely no sympathy from me. The funny thing about this summer’s weather is that the summer here on the Texas gulf coast has been one […]

Channel 13 is reporting this morning that Time-Warner cable is leaving Houston. It amazes me that a big company like T-W would abandon such a large market, but I guess stranger things have happened. This interests me not because of my cable service, but because of my Internet. I have Earthlink cable Internet, which is […]

Happy Birthday to my darling bride, who turns 29 today! (…for the 15th time.)
That’s Wendy on the left.

Today’s Hunstville Times has more about why Terry’s Pizza closed shop:
Faced with a lost lease, the death of their father and increasing family demands, the children of Lou Pejza, Terry’s owner, decided last week to shutter the restaurants.
