Need positive thoughts from everyone
Sep 14th
Well, from reading blogs and news sites, the news doesn’t look good for BJ and Jim’s (Rae’s grandparents) beach house in Crystal Beach (on Bolivar peninsula near Galveston). Everyone keep then in your thoughts and prayers and hope their house is one of the “lucky” few…

Some minor changes
Sep 13th
I have made a few changes to the site…some behind the scenes and some more visible that may make things a bit less cumbersome to add pictures and post my musings. The old gallery is now just an archive of past stuff. All new pics will be posted to a new gallery that requires a bit less setup for each group of pics. Links are on the right.
I will add recent pics later on and maybe give everyone a quick update. I am posting this from my phone in the car and my thumbs are done and I maybe should have taken a Dramamine before starting this in the car since Tasha drives like a madman in her own car. 
Inflight Gourmet

Everyone says airline food is crap. However in my experience, most of it, especially in business class or higher on international flights, it is usually decent. Tonights choice was grilled lamb with cilantro mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. All-in-all, it was a decent airline meal, but the mashed potatoes made me realize I should try throwing some cilantro into our instant potatoes next time we make them. It was a nice change, I thought. The asparagus left me with my usual question after eating asparagus…
Why does it make your pee smell so damn bad???? I don’t know of any other veggie that does that, but asparagus does it EVERYTIME! It is like taking penicillin. I enjoy a nicely prepared asparagus spear, but my god, why do I have to be reminded that I ate asparagus for at least a day after I ate it everytime I relieve myself????
I get to see how Qantas compares to American here in a couple hours…
Travel Frustration
Aug 23rd
So, today at 7pm I was supposed to be leaving for Indonesia for a week. I wake up this morning with a text message from Cathay Pacific stating that my LAX-HKG flight was canceled due to a typhoon passing through the area. So I spent about 2.5 hours working with the travel agent to get a new flight booked for today at 5pm that still got me to Indonesia on Sunday (while still earning all my FF miles). I finally get all that resolved and then the bomb drops….
Someone messed up somewhere and FedEx, who was supposed to be delivering my passport with my Indonesian business visa by noon, re-delivered it back to our Houston office. Not sure where the screw up came, but needless to say, I won’t be flying today….
I should only miss about a half day of meetings, but I have wasted the whole damn morning on this and I just want to scream! So now I will be heading straight from flying for 23+ hours into meetings….
The cool thing about this whole ordeal is that I will be flying completely around the world now…
