There’s lots to love about Texas. All other states… well… they’re just states. I’ve been to most other states.

Last night was the first playoff game I’ve been to, and it just made me realize that there is no other playoff series like Stanley Cup hockey. Football, baseball, soccer, basketball… none come even close to the intensity, speed, tenacity, skill, determination, and … Read more

I worked with college age international students from Asia for about 6 years. Many of them were from Japan and Taiwan.
