    Weekend Thoughts

    Weekend Thoughts

    After getting a bit of respite from the 100+ F temperatures the last few days, we are heading back up; it is what it is in a Texas summer. And the same could be said about our first-place baseball team, the Houston Astros.

    The Astros’ first half: Is this what we expected?

    The Astros’ first half: Is this what we expected?

    In the comments to the last post – a good friend of the blog and our in-house island inn-keeper, uncleknuckle (previously known as Daveb) – mentioned that he didn’t think any of us thought this team would be this good. It is a good point.
