After 18 graduate hours down, another semester, two conferences, my first conference paper, Katie joining me up in Mass., and tons of other milestones for my life, it’s nice to sit back and just relax, reflecting on all that has happened.
On the last weekend in April, the weather went from 30 degrees to 85 degrees for a magical couple of days. Me and Katie capitalized on this and ran a 2 day random trip to the east coast of Massachusetts, to check out all of the hype around Cape Cod. The map below shows our roundabout route from Worcester to Plymouth, Sandwich, Provincetown, South Yarborough, New Bedford, Newport, Jamestown, Wickford, and back home.
To sum it up, it was amazing! Some pictures from the trip show the highlights! To view the full album, click here.

It’s good to be back home in Texas. Mexican food, country music, great restaurants, Shiner Bock, good friends and family! Oh, and the 70 degree weather is a nice bonus as well. Katie switched climates and is now in Oregon for Christmas, skiing and with the family. I’m here for the holiday taking care of the kitties and soon to be in good ol’ San Antonio to take in the new year.
As my pop said this morning as we ate some great breakfast plates at a taqueria this morning for $3.95, life in Maine in the summer and Mexico in the winter would be a great thing.
It’s also good to just… relax. After a long and great semester of good work. It’s good to see everyone again, as if I never left 5 months ago… even Saxophone bum dressed as Santa! God bless Texas!
