Pointing Upward… In Houston!

There’s an expression in our culture: “Those that can, do. Those that can’t, teach.”  I can remember a university professor (or ten?) that resemble that remark. Not Craig McAndrews.

Precious Readers… Yes, I’ve been absent the last couple of post days. Just thought I’d fill you in, since it’s pretty unusual for me to not be writing. We’ve been scurrying around, packing for our big move south. Back to our real Home, leaving our vacation retreat behind once again. We were all set to
