		<title>Gator wrestling revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[October 19th, 2009 I posted a blog entry about wrestling alligators in a competition. This was one of the crazier things I have done as I had never seen an alligator before (well maybe once when my family went to Florida when I was a child). If you follow the link you will also find [...]]]></description>

		<title>Caddo Lake State Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I took a trip through east Texas over Easter Weekend. After going to Joe Patoski&#8217;s lecture on &#8220;Why Texans are Texans: An Introduction to Texan Identity&#8221; (related blog entry), I decided I wanted to get out and see something else of Texas. So I hit the road and headed north on 69 out of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lecture: Why Texans are Texans: An Introduction to Texan Identity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Current Mood: HappyA few weeks ago, I went to see this guy speak:

His lecture (see the title of this blog post) was part of a series of five lectures put on by the Mcfaddin-Ward House, on the future of Texas. This particular one I was chomping at the bit for. Texans are an interesting group [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sailing in the Gulf of Mexico</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally got around to taking my sail boat out into the gulf of Mexico. It turns out it&#8217;s quite a long journey. Robin and I planned a two day trip and sailed down to the entrance to the gulf and anchored in a safe place for the night. In the morning we headed through [...]]]></description>

		<title>SETX Bathroom Trouble</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Current Mood: SurprisedI took a road trip this past weekend and &#8211; having broken my iPhone &#8211; had the opportunity to listen to the radio for six hours. It was an educational experience to say the least. There was a lot of religious programming, country music, gun advertisements, fishing supply advertisements etc &#8211; the kinds [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Diamond in the Rough</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Current Mood: SurprisedI currently work in an oil refinery. It is an ocean of concrete, steel, pipe and wires spreading out like a cancer in every direction. Through years of add-ons and expansions, the refinery has transformed the typically verdant southeast Texas landscape into a monochromatic monstrosity. Calling it an eyesore doesn&#8217;t even begin to [...]]]></description>

		<title>How bad is Southeast Texas?</title>

One is full of funny stories, exciting adventures, glorious victories and a colorful cast of people. It is dynamic, interesting and always surprising.
