Greetings and welcome

Hi there. As you've guessed, I'm Mark and this is my blog. I live in Pearland, Texas with my wife, three dogs and a cat (and my dad, Sunday night to Thursday night. Long story). I am a graduate of Texas A&M and Lehigh Universities, but I am commonly known, especially on the missus' blog, as "The Aggie."

I'm a former journalist, have worked in the political arena and have lived overseas. I'm a huge sports fan (Ags, Astros, Orioles, Redskins and Rockets) and love history. I have a few opinions on a few matters.

This blog will be my jotting board for simple musings, hopefully drawing amusement from my certain to be non-existent reading audience. For those of you interested in some of my other thoughts political and sports-related (all zero of you), please check out my other blog, the Texas Overseer (txoverseer.blogspot.com). In any event, please check back early and often. I'd like to get some advertising for this damned thing and every hit counts.
