"Part of the weekend was spent looking for The Orange Show and The Flower Man House. While I had a map, the convoluted streets around bayou got me happily lost MacGregor Way and Spanish Trail area. As I passed neighborhoods I had never seen before, I felt that Houston's strange lack of zoning extends to individual houses. Often I would drive by homes with strange additions and extentions.

Neon Poisoning: Baby... Now We Know

Baby/daddy/parent blogs have become pretty regular reading in the last couple of months. Even before pending fatherhood I was reading daddytpes.
