When we get settled in Houston, one of the first things I have to do is find the best Houston migraine doctor in the area. Migraines have plagued my life for the past twenty years, and the past couple of years they seem to be getting worse. I’ve tried plenty of different medicines, relaxation techniques, changing my diet, getting more sleep, but still the migraines come almost every day. Do you ever get sick and tired of being sick and tired? I sure do!

Getting an early jump on Spring Cleaning, it certainly feels like spring these past couple of days, so the wife and I started clearing out some of the clutter in our bedroom this past weekend.  Part of the process included cleaning out the storage chest that we keep various odds and ends in.  Things like future Christmas presents, and birthday cards.  My wife started laughing because she came across the unused baby announcements she had bought when she was pregnant back in 1988!  I told her we may as well save them to use for our grandchildren!

Just want to give a shout out and Happy Birthday wishes to my good friend Tony! I know you were trying to keep it a secret – didn’t even mention it on your own blog! But I can’t let the day go by without sending you Happy Birthday wishes. How old are you now – 75? (Just kidding!)

Been enjoying reading your blog – especially the video remix of President Obama’s encounter with the fly! What a riot! Have a great day, man!

My wife is supposed to go to a convention next weekend down to Durham, North Carolina. She has recently been told that she has narcolepsy, a sleeping disorder, and that she is in danger of falling asleep while she is driving a car. As you can imagine, this has put our entire family into a tailspin. If she is in danger of falling asleep while she is driving, then we have to come up with alternative ways for her to get back and forth to work, and to and from the convention.

So we looked into having her take the Megabus from DC to Raleigh/Durham, and then a bus from the station to the hotel. Well the bus stops a couple of blocks away from the hotel, so she could use that for the trip down, but the bus that would return her from the hotel back to the Megabus station does not run on Sunday, so that would not work. A taxi from the bus station to and from the hotel would be very expensive, and since she has never been there before I am a little bit concerned about her being stranded someplace. Another concern is how many suitcases is she going to need to take with her; we don’t know yet what clothes she is going to be packing. We need to find out if she needs to pack any formal wear, or just business/casual attire for the entire weekend.

She’s already found a couple of ladies to share the hotel with the nights that she is going to be there, so that is good. I sure hope none of them snore! She is a very light sleeper. And I hope none of them need to sleep with the television on, either, because she never manages to sleep with any kind of flickering light or noise. That reminds me, I’ll tell her to be sure to pack some ear plugs and a sleeping mask to wear.

Our youngest son found out that she needs to go to the convention and that we’re having issues getting her there, so he volunteered to use a hertz coupon to rent a car, splitting the cost with us, and driving her to and from the convention. It turns out that he has a girlfriend that goes to college at Duke University and he wouldn’t mind going down there and visiting with her for the week-end! Problem solved!

Can you remember life before the Internet?  (BI)  What an extraordinary change to our lives the Internet has become!  I can remember that far back (yeah, I’m showing my age!) and I can remember that our family depended heavily on the local yellowpages to find all of the businesses that we needed; from local plumbers and banks to local restaurants and barber shops! 

With the advent of the Internet, and the rapid acceptance and dependence of the Internet, I find it so much easier to use the Internet to do a local search for any business than going back to the old paper version!  And yes, we DO have the old paper version in the cupboard by the telephone, but I gravitate towards using the Internet first.  I really like how once I find the listing that i need I can often get directions to the place if I need them!  The paper version doesn’t do that at all!
