Huntsville, Texas

I never thought I'd be writing a blog. Back in my college days, I used to think blogs were for people who wanted to expose their private lives. I guess I couldn't relate to that then. Man, how times have changed. After reading the great John Wells' blog (that's right John, I said "great"), I'm inspired to put down some notes on paper, or in this case, text in a box. If you want to see to what I'm referring, just go here: http://thefieldlab.blogspot.com/ What one human can do in the mist of a rugged terrain, salt of the earth people, longhorns and a drive to live a self-sustaining life amazed me... maybe it will for you, too.

Angie and I sat outside in our garage and talked more about the upcoming wedding. Angie is my fiance, beautiful and kind, a great listener and funny as hell. We're getting married August 6th, so we've got a LOT of planning left. We've found the venue http://www.chateaubellevueaustin.org/, we've booked the DJ and we're doing cupcakes in place of regular cake. That's just our style.

She's got a "Spanish" wedding dress that she won't show me. I guess I'll just have to wait.

As we were discussing the future of our lives together, songs from my days hosting Open Mic Nite at Lizards in Huntsville poured out from this small boom box. Ben Bell and the Stardust Boys and The Rhythm Section brought back musical memories that I won't forget anytime soon. I wonder what Ben, Dee and Winfield are up to these days? Sorry Tim, Jason, Adam, Sam, Derrick and Cowboy... I haven't forgetten you guys neither.

Anywho, more to come I gather. I think I'll use this blog to tell of my goings on, music that I'd like to share and some points of interest along the way.

¡Salud!
