Portrait by an aspiring young artist

This picture of me was drawn by a little lady who I get to see on Sundays at Einstein Brothers; my new Sunday-morning ritual with former regulars at Kenny’s. I think it’s pretty accurate, especially on how much I’ve let … Continue reading

I don’t like Green Bagels & Salmon, Sam I Am

For a limited time, Einstein’s Bagels is selling a green, potato-based bagel to honor the St. Patrick’s Day holiday. I decided to go for it since I can’t get a shamrock shake at any McDonald’s in Central Texas. It also … Continue reading

Who’s the movie star?

For the last few Sundays, I have taken up a new ritual to replace the one I used to have working for Kenny’s; meeting my key regulars at Einstein’s Bagels. Their lattes are mediocre yet I did enjoy their bagel … Continue reading

Sheriff Roscoe fails to make a timely right turn again

Well…seems the same idiot who did this last year has struck again. Somara has no recollection if she saw it yesterday when she came home. It was dark when I completed my errands so I couldn’t have. I also discussed … Continue reading

This weekend I went out to my friend Deborah’s place way out near Bee Cave (it’s southwest of Austin, I think). She and her husband Dale have this bitchin’ house in an area called Briarcliff with a great view of … Continue reading

Treasure was everywhere this weekend

It would’ve been a lazy, easy Sunday morning for me until the phone rang 10 minutes after Somara left for work. I know she couldn’t be there already and I was right. As the picture above shows, her front-right tire … Continue reading
