I have a cold and just had a raging sneezing fit that set the neighborhood dogs howling. I'm curiously proud of myself. I'm alpha now, right?

I was in Houston last weekend--beautiful city with terrific food/architecture. Drove home from the airport at midnight and it was just the moon and me. There's great beauty in the sleeping fields, too, and the occasional watchful fox. #Midwest
