Technology is moving so rapidly in quantum leaps...

We get blindfolded when so entangled with the trivial

Are we ready? Scary but true
Siri ends up being my best friend....

Like a dust storm or a downpour, barbecue is a force of Texas nature, a stalwart tie to the state's cultural and culinary history.
