More Paris

We took pictures of every meal we had in Paris. I was a little hesitant to take out our giant camera in a tiny restaurant at first, but the food was too good not to photograph.

However, the Iphone also has a camera. Did you know that? So, I took a bunch of pictures with the phone. Still surprised people with the flash, but it is hard not to when the restaurant is the size of  small bedroom.

Our Trip to Paris

    Alcon sent Sara to Switzerland for training. Since Basel is just a train ride away from the city of lights, we thought a few days in Paris would be a great way to get into the holiday spirit.  So, I hopped on a plane and away we went.

    Below is Rue De Cler, where our hotel was located. It was a great neighborhood that was a ten minute walk to the Eiffel Tower. That is why there are so many pictures of the Eiffel Tower. It's hard not to take a picture when you walk by it.  It was a great neighborhood that made us feel like locals as we explored Paris.

And did we explore. Rick Steves' travel guides are awesome. We followed his walks through the neighborhoods of Paris and his museum guides everywhere we went. It was like having our own tour guide the entire trip.  

    I think we took about a thousand pictures on this trip. I will post more pictures after I actually get to look at them.  Check us out later on this week.

Dan Barrett For Mayor

As some of you may know, I am currently working for Dan Barrett's campaign for mayor in Fort Worth. Dan has been a great mentor to me in my first years in my legal career and I believe he is the best candidate for the job.
With that said, sock puppets are freaking funny. Check out the video as well as the www.danbarrettformayor.com and his facebook page.

Thanks

Adventures in the Underground

When we bought our house, the most we had seen of the crawl space was what we could see through the vents in the skirt. that wasn't much. I wanted to know about the condition of our crawl space but I didn't want to discover a pack of beavers under our house either. So, as with many great dilemmas it was out of sight, so I kept it out of mind.

However, I knew the day would come when I would venture into the nether regions of College and Maddox to discover what treasures dwelt there. As we fast approach the end of this round of renovations, JP and I took it upon ourselves to put some big holes in the floor. The first was to gain access to the mysteries that sat below our house. So as I stood in that closet (there is a joke there I just know it), and basked in the stall; slightly damp air that rose out of the imperfect square I had just cut in the floor, I knew that worst thing that could happen is that I would get stuck. I quickly realized how horrible that would be, put that thought aside and got down the hole. JP took pics so as to memorialize the moment. No buried treasure, no attack beavers; just trash. Oh, and massive amounts of concrete.
