It is that time of year again, the Christmas lights are up, Santa has been spotted in various places around Georgetown and the shopping season is down to less than ten days. It seems amazing that not too long ago there were over 150 days until Christmas and the pressure of shopping was way down...

We have all been there—that sickening moment when your vehicle stops working. It used to be easy, 30 years ago we all had that friend who could come over and at least diagnose the problem.

Unfortunately it is almost that time of year again, summer is coming to an end. Cooler days are ahead and the kids are getting ready to head back to school. I am sure mom is happy, especially if she has been home with them all summer. The kids, on the other hand, will have to be pulled, kicking...

The heat is miserable. It is like a blast furnace or that scene in Apocalypse Now when they are floating down the river. So hot you can taste it. Cancel that, so hot that taste has now removed itself from your mouth and all you can truly taste is pure radiating heat. It is as if the water...

The day has come and the skies seemed to have parted through the slight drizzle of late spring. Ok, actually, it was about three raindrops, but you just drove off in your dream car and do not want to get any dirt on it. About three blocks down the street a strange knocking fills the passenger...

It is early morning and you have a meeting beginning in an hour. You grab your cup of coffee and promptly spill it on your new white shoes. You husband pulls out to the driveway happy with a blissful smile on his face. You growl under your breath as you turn the key in your car and nothing...

The Texas sun is blasting down on your head and it is days like this that you wish your air conditioning worked. Its cool though, you have a convertable. It is unfortunate that a convertible is only comfortable this time of year in your garage and at night. The thing is, you don’t even care...
