“New Pepper Plants” Cedar Park, 2025
I was at the supermarket this morning and I saw they had a big sale on their herbs and peppers. Only $1.50 USD each! I bought a Thai chile pepper plant and a Shishito pepper plant. I hope they produce many peppers!
In addition to those two, I have a Jalapeño plant, a Scotch Bonnet plant, and Ghost pepper plant. Grow, babies, grow!
“Jalapeno” Cedar Park, 2025
Lastly, I have a mystery pepper plant, which has had one pepper developing for a couple of months now.

“Graduate” Houston, 2025
It’s hard to believe how quickly time flies. Our oldest son, Bay, has officially finished school! His program was a six-year commitment, and it feels like just yesterday we were dropping him off on campus for the first time. Where did the time go? Wow!

“Long Way Home” Cedar Park, 2025
Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman are back! Their fourth “Long Way” series “Long Way Home” sees them tackling Europe on vintage motorbikes, and I’m loving it. After a slightly bumpy “Long Way Up,” where the electric motorcycle charging issues became a bit of a drag, they seem to have found their stride again. I’ve only seen the first two episodes, but I’m already hooked and can’t wait for the rest of the season!
“Digicam & Radio” Cedar Park, 2025
I had a bit of a nostalgic trip at my parents’ house and came away with a couple of neat items. There’s a Nikon camera from 2014 that, amazingly, still works perfectly. It’s really small, which makes it super convenient to carry around – it fits right in my pants pocket! It’s fun to use, but I do miss the precision of a viewfinder. I also found an old AM/FM radio that I bought back in the mid-80s. It still works great! I’m not sure how much I’ll actually listen to the radio, but I really love its design and had to have it.
“Scenic View” Las Cruces, 2025
Today, we continued our odyssey with just a little bit left of New Mexico before crossing into Texas. It took us about 8 hours to cross half the state before arriving at home. Once again, we had the ballgame to keep us company and this time the Dodgers won. Yay!
