On the road again and headed for home sweet home! I can almost hear Willie Nelson singing. Up this morning and feeling great! Hit the road and on the way out of town, I had to pull over for a shot of the many refineries along the edge of Corpus Christi. Right after high school I really had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. A feeling I am sure is all too common to all of us at that age. I decided I would take whatever job came along for the money and...

My last full day in Corpus Christi! It has been a blast and I've got to fit what fun and family time I can into this last day because it'll be a couple of years at least before I get back here.We started the day off with a major breakfast feast! I went over to my sister, Nina's house where her husband Jerry was the acting chef. There was so much food, you couldn't fit it on your plate but I gave it a valiant try! Unfortunately, my eyes were bi...

Time for some fun! I went for a morning ride. I even considered not wearing my leather jacket or helmet since it was so hot but that was just a fleeting thought.

I used to...

Feeling good and rested! It's time for a little more riding and sight-seeing today. This morning, my sister asked me along on a little excursion to a little store she likes to go to.

We are off to "La Tiendita" or little store. They have a bunch of odds and ends but a steady stream of people in ...

I am planning for a quiet day today with family and friends. We started the day off right with the breakfast of champions at Taqueria Jalisco #12. There are a bunch of these Taqueria Jalisco restaurants in town. There's one on almost any corner. The food is great and the service is always good. You get plenty of food for a good price! I went to breakfast/lunch, OK let's call it brunch with my sister's Toni and Nina. Now, this is real Mexican fo...
