Today was our last full day in San Antonio. Lex spent part of that day in town at a work-related meeting. I stayed home, cleaned house, and waited for a college friend, Melinda, to show up for a visit in the afternoon. We hadn’t seen each other in nearly fifteen years, but when she got [...]
Today was my day to geocache here in San Antonio. Before I did that, however, I needed to get the oil in the truck changed. We’ve come over 2,000 miles on our trip, so before we start heading back, we needed to take care of our tow vehicle. I had the shop put Rotella T [...]
Today I went to the post office in Elmendorf, not far from the RV park where we are staying, so I could mail Alexis’ iPhone 3G. The two-year-old phone sold in under two minutes on eBay for $150. What? Are people out of their minds? They can get the newer model, the 3GS for only [...]
Because Lex was off, we both spent a lazy Monday just poking around the house. Later in the afternoon, I did go into town to run a few errands and pick up some groceries. Came home, put together some dinner, and ended up going to bed early. So, not much else to report about Day [...]

Today marks the two-thirds point on our trip. We’ll be home in three weeks. We still have a week left in San Antonio, a week in Bandera and a few days in the DFW area before we head back, though, so it’s not over yet! I woke up early today and started cooking. The build-a-taco [...]
We spent all afternoon today in San Antonio on errands and visiting with friends. Our first stop was a flea market on San Antonio’s Southside to visit my friend, Susana, who was a student at Palo Alto College when I first started working there. I should point out that flea markets in this part the [...]
About 10:00 a.m., Lex found out that her boss had called a meeting of her company’s employees at a local Starbucks (everyone in San Antonio or linked to the San Antonio office now telecommutes) from noon to 3:00 p.m. But, but, but….I had to be in Gonzales for the funeral at 3:00 p.m. What to [...]

As I promised, today I stayed in. The morning started early with a 6 a.m. call from one of my cousins telling me my aunt (the one who had the stroke a couple of weeks ago) had a heart attack and probably wasn’t going to make it. She didn’t. Her rosary is Thursday evening and [...]
Today was the family reunion. I couldn’t stay very long, but I needed to put in an appearance. I haven’t been in years, and I had promised my uncle I’d be there. I was glad I went. I got to see relatives I hadn’t seen in forever (most since my father’s funeral five years ago) [...]

Today we drove Alex to the airport and San Antonio and bid her goodbye. The week flew by so quickly! We enjoyed her visit and miss her already. Alexis then stopped by North Star Mall to put her name on a waiting list for the iPhone 4G. Yes, she is that geek. While she was [...]
