Housekeeping

As you can see, we've redesigned the site. Here's hoping it's better organized and easier to follow. I was sick of the old, original look. Plus, I just like how the photos pop off the new black backdrop.

Beyond the changes in color and typography (both straight from a Blogger template), new features include:

• Neighbors - links to some family and friends
  
• Escapes (and escapades) - links to this year's Mexico and Morocco trips
  
• Tags - a key-word organizing system to search posts by content

Also, Amy has started her long overdue foodie blog over at The Dinner Hour. Check it out. She'll be writing about food, its role in culture, kitchen tips and tricks and, of course, translating her knack for making up a dish on the fly into easy-to-follow, step-by-step recipes.

• Finally got to see James McMurtry in concert. Fitting that we went with friends Mike and Susan, who introduced us to his music in the first place. Line of the night, upon introducing "Choctaw Bingo," "This is for all the crystal methodists in the house..." The man may live in Texas, but he's got Oklahoma down pat.
• We're off next weekend for a crabbing trip at the coast with friends.
  
• More to come on Morocco. The day-by-day retelling was boring even me. So instead, I'll be writing about highlights from various cities as the mood strikes, as with the recent piece on Marrakesh. Look forward to the stories of my new scars - plural. See, this guy wanted to barter for Amy...
