Why Ed Rocks

I’m talking about Ed Schipul of course. Who is my mentor and friend. But more importantly he’s one of only 3 people in my life who give it to me straight. The Good, The Bad, and The Awful. And trust me - I can be awful sometimes. Tonight Ed reminded me that manners are important - no matter who you are - or who you think you are. And that Loyalty and True Friendship is worth more than an entire Aztec City filled with Gold. Honest.

Hanging with Matt, Glenda & Chris

One of Houston’s “Web 2.0″ Claims to Fame is that we gave birth to WordPress. I bet you thought it was San Francisco right? This is cool for 2 reasons - 1. It makes Houston look super tech savvy & cool. 2. When Matt comes to town - we all get to go hang out with him and eat Raw Steaks at IHOP at 2 in the morning (Not to be confused with 4 in the morning).

Tonight after having drinks at Rioja with Ed, Rachel, Glenda, Matt, & Chris - all of us except Ed and Rachel headed over to IHOP where we recorded this little gem.

I Have Blogger's Block
I was chatting with my friend Laura Mayes tonight - explaining how I have Blogger’s Block.  Tomorrow I head to San Francisco - and I’ve already stocked up on awesome reading materials for the plane - including the Complete Works of Jane Austen and Katharine Hepburn’s Autobiography.  Laura’s advice:

The best way to get out of a block is to read good writing.

And to go to Northern California.

 

Check. And Check.

 

Sometimes life just works out.

Link Policy

My personal link policy is as follows - I only link to the blogs of people I actually know in real life (with the exception of the "Other Erica's" section). I think when you add someone to your blogroll there should be real meaning attached. Most of the people I link to are not only acquaintances - but folks I am lucky enough to call my friends.
