A Beautiful Saturday In San Antonio

It's cool and clear. The sun is shining. The Huevos a la Mexicana (con queso, por favor) at El Rafas are delicious. And then Mr. Beers puts down his newspaper, looks me in the eye, and says, "I think you need to start a new blog." "Okay," I say. So here we go. Inspired by friends who have wonderful blogs: The Criplomats, my friend Stacy Sells, Heather - the Cowgirl Granola gal, The Moving Finger guy... I'm sure there are lots more, but those are the ones I've been checking out lately... I'm a little intimidated because these kids have set the bar kind of high for me.

He couldn’t remember the name, but when provided me with a couple of points of reference and a little description, I knew exactly who Randal was talking about. John Arthur Williams. John Arthur was one of the first friends I had in San Antonio. He made an inde

There's a lot of information online about both subjects, and I don't want to copy and paste a bunch of stuff here. You can Google either of those topics and get plenty of information if you're so inclined. I would like to mention that Mr. Beers and I were selected to be Kings Anchovy for this past April's Cornyation. To say that it was a great and wonderful experience would be an understatement. From our first meeting with Jesse Mata and Ray Chavez we experienced nothing but fun and love. Lots of both. Yep, it's been all sunshine and lollipops, rainbows and unicorns for these kings. That first meeting went something like this: Jesse & Ray: We're here today to ask you guys if you's like to be involved in Cornyation this year. Beers & Bobo: Sure. We haven't been re
