A few years ago, I set out to watch every Best Picture winner dating back to The Godfather (1972). For some odd reason, after completing that monumental and occasionally boring task, I felt the need to become a true Oscar historian and watch them all. Forty-four movies later, I can say that I have. Essentially, I watched The Greatest Show on Earth so you wouldn’t have to. Without further ado:

What do we want? When do we want it? Now! We grow up wanting things. As a child, the list was endless. I had a strong desire to find my way around where I lived. Seacombe was a collection of terraces with the promenade on one side. The prom and beach were real adventure playgrounds, […]

While I have primarily focused on legislation around sand mining, legislators in both the Texas House and Senate have filed bills that address other aspects of the Harvey disaster.

I have not posted as often as I’d like recently, even though I have several new posts working on, as I have been bogged down with project and publication deadlines (and a nasty bout of flu) – not complaining about anything, except for the latter. So instead of a new post, I am presenting another […]
We left Hogsback before 08:00 on a Saturday morning. I remember this because Lizette was miffed at missing the local Parkrun and whenever this trip comes up in conversation, Lizette’s ongoing disappointment clearly lives on. Parkrun, for those who don’t know, is a world-wide movement of donor-and-volunteer supported Saturday morning 5km and 2km runs in […]
