Welcome!

Welcome to Chipalatta! We hope you find some things here that will inspire, challenge, motivate or just make you laugh or think.

Over the next few weeks, as we populate the site, you’ll find entries from Chip’s books, as well as those about life, funny photos and quotes and, of course, plenty of entries about the Astros and sports in general.

No email lists to sign up for and no registrations. Just leave a comment and your calling card. We’d like to know you stopped by.

Welcome to Chipalatta. To find out more about the name, click here.
