Okay, so I am about a year into this “change of life” that culminated in my marriage and the addition of three amazing kids to my household – so what’s the verdict? Duh – you KNOW I think it rocks. A lot has changed in the last year. Again – duh. I am writing this [...]

April 21st, 2010 Chris Doelle Upon discovering a scorpion in the bathtub of our new house this morning, I was reminded of a poem that absolutely enthralled me as a child of about 7 or 8. The piece, called “Hell in Texas” was in a book of poetry that my mom kept around the house and has stuck with me [...]

March 5th, 2010 Chris Doelle I got my hands a country promo disk and thought I’d take a second to review the new tracks. Here are the tracks and my gut reaction to them: Rain Is A Good Thing – Luke Bryan (Good tune, but very simplistic if not downright stupid. Will it do okay? yeah – people like stupid. [...]

January 24th, 2010 Chris Doelle The family and I took a trip North of Fredericksburg Saturday to climb Enchanted Rock. This makes my fourth trip up the huge slab of granite and it was an absolute blast. First, it looked like bad weather was going to blow in and ruin the day, but I held firm to my belief that [...]
Cameron’s success is…. well, elementary.
December 30th, 2009 Chris Doelle There are two seasons where you can usually count on seeing a good movie or two – the Summer blockbusters and the Christmas blockbusters. This Christmas season has provided me with two good movie outings. Both of them made me skeptical at first, but in the end, both delivered solid entertainment. First up was Avatar [...]

December 29th, 2009 Chris Doelle We got some family photos taken shortly before Christmas and I just realized that I haven’t shared them on here. An excellent photographer and good friend, Beth Rasmussen, took the shots for us and Dawn organized the outfits etc. I think they turned out great. This first one was one of the toughest to get [...]

November 6th, 2009 Chris Doelle That is the exact question that Dawn and I pondered each time we took the small trip along Ranch Road 12 between San Marcos and Wimberley. Surely, THIS is just good marketing? What the heck makes a tamale ‘gourmet?’ Yes, this is Jean’s Antique Mall & Gourmet Tamales. Well, after a few months of saying [...]
A nice trip through Texas history in Goliad
June 5th, 2009 Chris Doelle Mom, Avis (her sister) and myself took a trip out to Goliad, Texas today and it turned out to be a nice little jaunt. First, we headed over to the Presidio La Bahia, the mission where nearly 400 Texan captives were gunned down in cold blood by the invading Mexican army. This, along with the [...]
