Space City

Our New Home:

- where the weather averages only 18 days with temperatures of 32 degrees or less (opposite of our recent beloved home, Cleveland)
- where 2.3 million other people reside, good for the fourth most in the nation
- where there are 14 major institutions of higher learning in the metro area
- where there are more than 8,000 restaurants representing more than 35 countries and American regions (including a delicious Bosnian restaurant we tried last weekend)
- where the city is 43 feet above sea level
- where, if the city were an independent nation, it would rank as the world's 30th largest economy by itself
- where 92 countries have consular offices
- where 23 Fortune 500 companies are headquartered
- the name of this city is also the first word spoken from the moon

The last one may have given it away.  We are moving to Houston. 

As much as we've enjoyed San Antonio and wanted to stay, I accepted a job with a company that will create a small firm near downtown Houston.  

Meanwhile, Max is almost one year old, and getting more handsome by the day.  








Max is also learning new tricks.  He uses pointing, for example, to indicate he hears birds or loud cars.



 Max is also discovering his tongue.




And for his last trick, he shows us that he is a football fan at heart. 

"TOUCHDOWN!" -- as a matter of fact, he heard an announcer say "Touchdown" during the BYU game on Saturday and promptly threw up his hands in excitement.
