The weather’s great! What a lovely fall in Galveston.
After a dry but thankfully not-so-hot summer, the rains finally came, perking up the palms and making us all smile.
Life is getting better.

And well you might be wondering. What the heck happened to the subject of Galveston on a blog ostensibly dedicated to its very essence?

Here, then, is one reason among many why I chose old Galveston as my destination of choice in the first place. Oh, my goodness—how lovely!

So today I went to the liquor store.
Two, actually.
Not to load up, you understand. Just to find the exact ingredients for a very special drink to properly commemorate this very special day.

One year ago today, in the early morning hours, Hurricane Ike came ashore in Galveston.
I couldn’t let the day pass without noting its significance.
However, I decided, as a new Galvestonian, to... Comment - Like

Getting moved in, slowly.
But guess who’s not helping unpack.
Hint: He’s a little (actually, big!) black boy from the Pacific Northwest.
Still, with a choice new job offer in the works and... Comment - Like
