As most of you know, I went off to Utah for a week and Ms. Farquar baby sit Happy. She wrote a daily blog which is priceless. Don't expect anything that interesting here. I think Happy probably had more fun in Houston that he would have in Utah.

For the enlightenment of anyone who doesn't already know, I went to Colorado when I was 19 years old. I hoped to become a Uranium Millionaire. Two years later I called my…

I had never before been to Galveston. There is a ton of stuff to do here. And lots to see. Pru has paid a visit and Monday Chris Cary and Linda Diane drove down and we…
