spring blossoms

this is a tree in a vacant little house down the street... the prior tenants used to decorate their porch for various holidays =) but it's been empty for several months now. you have to enjoy the charm of older homes like these to own one =)

Springtime wildflower

Means allergies and hay fever... and sinus problems. At least for me =) I'm not sure if this is an actual Texas Bluebonnet or a variety, it doesn't look like the normal ones I see.... i've always liked wildflowers - we did a project on cataloguing various native Texas wildflowers when I was in high school =)

First Christian Church

Adelaide and Brin streets...

Whitley Hall

This was my co-ed dorm when I was in college in Commerce, Tx... I was the 'R.A.' (resident's assistant) for the top floor in the summer of '88, working for the school's Housing department....

Tree Swing

This reminds me of a tree swing that I played on as a kid... i was always afraid of a snake hiding on the inside of it =)

**Update** I've already said this to her, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM!!!! (kim's my boss, and it's annual review time ;-) here's a pic of us both from last year at hillary's rally in dallas =)... HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM!!!!!

Bradford Pear trees

Emphysema Clinic

Today's photo is a house in Commerce, Texas. I lived in this house from 1989-1990 with 3 of my fraternity brothers. All 4 of us smoked, and we had LOTS of parties in this house with drinking, smoking, loud music, burnt carpets and such... it was college after all.

Anyway, we called this the 'emphysema clinic' cause we'd wake up in the mornings after a party - all 4 of us coughing and hungover while lighting a cigarette - and coughing some more.... this house is located on 'Lee St.' in Commerce, and is just one block from campus. I could sleep until 7:50a and make it to an 8am class =)

p.s. march 24 will mark 9 months since i quit smoking!

Looking up?

Well, I think everything is working on the site now. It seemed to all be working yesterday afternoon, but then when I got home from work it wasn't working again.... fingers crossed that it's all set back up correctly now =)

Commerce Texas

This is the tunnel that runs beneath highway 50 on the Texas A&M University Commerce campus.

An update on the website - I finally have the address back for http://www.texasdailyphoto.com/ - now I just have to figure out how to get it re-attached to my blogspot address =) something's changed in the way I had it set up before and when it gets down to DNS and hosting and CNAME etc. it goes way beyond my technical knowledge... but hopefully i'll have it figured out in another day (it takes a day for the address to update across internet servers too, so that could be my problem now with this delay and updating) ?

Glass Brick

Sorry for the sporadic posting lately... the problems I've had with Google and Google Apps in getting my website name back has been a little stressful for me, and also given me a reason to take a short break... I've also been taking a break from working out over these past 10 days... I've only worked out twice since Feb 18! Quite a long break for me, since I've gone to the gym and/or worked out 4-5 days a week for 7 months now.



I think I'm ready to start posting daily again... and made it to the gym tonight also... and here's my late theme day post, for glass... I was somehow sidetracked after prepping the photo yesterday, and forgot to do my post! =) par for the course for me, it seems i'm always running late....
