Bernie

I'm slowly learning to appreciate Texas.  Last weekend I saw the movie Bernie.  It contained the clip below that I'd say sums up Texas pretty well.

Balmorhea

I'm way behind on music.  I increasingly worry that I've lost touch, which is probably true.  But here's a new track from Balmorhea.

Last Words

© Chris Harrell 

I love this print from Chris Harrell.  I'm tempted to buy it on Etsy but probably won't.  I have a hard time spending money on things to put on my walls, because I'm not good enough at organizing them to make a coherent, compelling presentation.  Anyway, if you don't recognize the words on the print, these are the last words from the novel The Great Gatsby.  Excellent book if I do say so myself.
