Los Quentos
“Everything that is dead quivers. Not only the things of poetry, stars, moon, wood, flowers, but even a white trouser button glittering out of a puddle in the street… Everything has a secret soul, which is silent more often than it speaks.”

Too many memories…Texas Roads
Too many memories laid out across these Texas roads. My mind goes into auto drive in a plethora of thoughts, feelings…familia. New highways now bypass the small towns that lined the way between me and my grandparents, tons of cousins and cotton fields. The red falcon...
1974 and the Daisy
The year, 1974, and this bad boy was unwrapped that Christmas. Not sure how Santa had the money, or how I made the good list, but it was mine. If you ask my cousin, she’d say it was because I was spoiled. I’ll go with the thought that my parents did all they could to...
The pictures come to life
Probably my favorite roads in Texas to ride through, only this time I drove. Mid March and the desert was starting to bloom. This time I had the chance to share it, to bring to life all the snapshots from before. Same roads, new memories. Big Bend is just beautiful...
Alpine to Presidio
The main leg of this ride was Alpine, Terlingua, Lajitas, Presidio and Marfa. The road from Terlingua to Presidio is commonly known as River Road and one of my favorites, if not, the favorite route in Texas. The scenery is amazing and the winding road along the...
Billiards at Joe’s
I've been here before, Joe's Bar and Grill in Llano, Texas, but I've failed to notice this cool pool room in, well, the back, you may say. What makes this stand out to me is you don't expect it, it's classic straight out of the movies. Walking into Joe's, you have a...
Pregaming the right way (Vagabond Pizza)
Okay, so here’s the deal, if you’re gonna hit those Texas roads to catch some power jams on the track, you gotta plan ahead. Make sure to make it a little early and grab the grub. Not just any grub, some crazy delicious, make it a double header destination trip,...
Daniel LaRusso 1984
The year was 1984, Daniel LaRusso and Ali Mills have a pretty cool putt-putt first date. While this wasn’t exactly Texas, California to be exact, I always noted it as good “first date” idea. Okay, so, yeah, why the heck am I starting off with this meaningless Karate...
Abilene Roller Derby
I tell you what, some pretty good exciting times. It's there when you seek it. Made a trip back to Abilene this past weekend and planned it around Abilene's Roller Derby match against El Paso Tex Pistols. This was only our second time and make sure of it, it will not...
We brought some home. Christoval Winery
On US 277 just South of San Angelo, you‘ll hit Christoval, TX. Turn East and you’re driving through a quaint community lined with some eateries and handful of shops, keep going and the Hummer House awaits you. Turn West and you’re now strolling through Christoval...
The Pearl Cactus Steak House… Blanket, Texas
“The rest of the story.” So, I was surprised. I’d heard about this little steakhouse in Blanket, TX, population around 367 or so. Have been meaning to go check it out and see what all the hoopla was about. I was expecting a steakhouse, maybe a little rustic, a log...
Math Anyone?
There would not be Friday night lights at the football field, not the sound of a buzzer winning basket in the air, or the roar of the crowd to a home run. It was an entire school and townspeople gathering to send off a group of students state bound in...
