It’s been about a month now in Dallas and the Christmas party was tonight. In one sense, it was just another gathering where everybody dressed up. I mean, there is the prom and then the college senior formal and then annual Christmas parties and weddings and other occasions to dress […]

I had another great time tonight. I’m not sure how many Tuesdays it has been, but I’m meeting more and more people. Not only am I meeting people, I am liking the people I am meeting. This might be too strong of a word, but not only am I liking […]

Things are really happening here! A few weeks ago I wrote that I was going to go to a church event on a Friday night.  Well… I did go and I met a lot of great people!  I sat next to a really nice guy who is even taller than I […]

I’ve been driving around Dallas in a beaten up car. My dashboard lights don’t work. The radio doesn’t work.   The grill fell off.  The front side is dented. The hood requires two people to open and close. I can only use my key to unlock the passenger side and my […]
