I spent the majority of today cleaning each room in the house, and then laying down a pesticide in anticipation for springtime critters. It was a perfect chance for me to implement something I read in a magazine to make the house “greener” (and lower the electric bill).

Is anyone else even slightly perturbed by the number of Facebook groups dedicated to retrieving phone numbers? I’ll occasional browse random friends’ profiles and come across their “Groups” section. What do I find? “Help, *** ***** needs your phone number!” or “MY CELL PHONE WAS STOLEN! I need your number!” or “MY PHONE DROWNED, GIMME […]

Since I’ll be staying home in Houston for medical school, there’s no sense of urgency for “one last hurrah” before beginning my journey. Nevertheless, I’ll be vacationing in Hawaii this May and getting my feet wet with some notes from a current BCM MS1.

This morning, I received an HID (high intensity discharge) conversion kit for my roadster, and I must say, it was a fantastic investment. I found a reason to try out the new headlights tonight, and not only did I see the unlit portions of the Grand Parkway like never before, but I was able to […]

I’m afraid that spring is around the corner, and the temperatures in Houston are eager to get back into the 90′s. Fortunately, a cold front moved through last night bringing a very breezy Saturday to those who waited, so I tried to be productive in light of the favorable weather. I spent half an hour […]
