Happy Thanksgiving Austin, Texas. Thank you to all those serving overseas so that we can enjoy this wonderful holiday with family and friends. Thank you to all the blog followers. You are all such an inspiration to keep the blog going, and thank you to all my friends (Chris Cobb, especially) that make this blog

I’ve been in a big stand-up paddle board phase lately, as I think a lot of people have been. Every time I’m down at Zilker for an evening dog park fun I feel like I see more and more stand-up paddle boarders. The sunset tour is great. The heat is much more bearable by that

First off, happy birthday to my father! I love you very much! Second, it’s Bike to Work Day. Did any of you participate? I’m such a sucker for a good Texas, Texas A&M matchup.

I’m hoping to encourage people to stick to their New Year’s resolutions, and I thought today’s list item would help keep you on track and stay motivated! I’m not sure how others feel, but this cold weather really makes it hard to stay in a workout routine. Head on out to Anytime Fitness tonight to

Today’s list item was too Austin not to blog about. Cycling polar-bear style, what’s not to love?  We certainly know how to Keep Austin Weird. We’re all familiar with polar bear swims that traditionally happen on January 1 each year. Well, Social Cycling Austin is bringing it on their bikes tonight. Now is your chance
