Everyone should have a big sister like mine, if they could. If not, a really good life-long friend will probably work out all right as well. Just find somebody with a different perspective than yours, and I think you'll learn a little about it what it means to be human and filled with compassion, humor, and love of life, as I have and continue to from her. These things, I think we all too often take for granted.

I was lucky enough to get to know my Big Sister beyond the silly adolescence and childhood scramblings and vying for attention from Mom, Dad, other family and friends. She landed back home several months following her College Graduation. I had taken up fort there, in our childhood home, after Mom headed for the East coast to live with her special someone else.

Seven people in my subway car this morning were reading the Boston Metro, out of say 30 total, the rest of who were in thought or conversation or sleep, none reading a book. Some might say, "Well, at least they're reading!?" Does anyone else find it's proliferation questionable?

Hey, howdy there! Yep, we've run out of asphalt and oil and have to start building some highways with good ol' creativity. Being from Texas I know there are some very creative people in the world and would like to hear from them. Take our current President for example.

Thats right, folks in Texas, like me, appreciate embellishment and tall tale tales. While I encourage that, and enjoy it sometimes, I also want to hear what's really happening out there beyond all the highways, car traffic, and Governmental Embellishment. Under the hum of highways there's a deep breath and the start of a revolution. You can start right here on our very own empty highway. Join us and offer suggestions today. This is your highway. This is a place for dialogue and discussion of whatever comes to my or your mind.
