the Isla Mujeres, Cancun MEXICO Friends & Family Vacation

April 6th-April 13th, 2022, My wife and I flew from Austin Texas direct via Jet Blue to Cancun Mexico for a 1-week vacation. The first 3 days night were at an all-inclusive beach side resort, outside of Cancun. It was wonderful and we hung with friends, went snorkeling in crystal clear ocean water through living corral, and even swam in 3 Cenotes. I, GVM cliff jumped into a Cenote. (click here for an article, What exactly is a CENOTE?) I also Zip-Lined 4 times atop the trees and nature. I also participated in karaoke and sang "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees in its entirety, and received 8.5-9.5 marks from the listening crowd. Adventures, eh? 

The second 4 night vacation portion was spent on Isla Mujeres, a small yet livable island, off the coast of Cancun Mexico. You take a 20-25 minute boat ferry to get there. Isla Mujeres is walkable with pool-like oceans, friendly visitors, international tourists, and native Mexicans as well. There is  1 main tourist commercial strip for food, music, nightlife and fun. In Isla Mujeres, my entire family, Dad, gf, Willy, gf, and sister Emily plus friend were in full attendance. 

Overall I give this Mexico TRIP  an A-plus!

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

  Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...

I got up early and went = ESPN's Live College Football Gameday Show @ University of Texas - Austin Fall 2024

 I awoke circa 5:30 am this past Saturday, took a shower, grabbed a quick bite to eat and coffee@ QT; then rode my moped down to the University of Texas, South Lawn or "6-pack" area to view the LIVE ESPN taping and broadcast show, COLLEGE GAMEDAY. When I arrived on campus at 6 am it was still dark and there were plenty of fans already there. The actual LIVE College Gameday Show started at 8 am Central Time. We as fans are simply backdrop visuals and noise for the show. There were tons of fans signs, almost too many to even read. All of the On-Air TV Talent was friendly and excellent! Desmond Howard, Lee Corso, Pat McAfee, Kirk Herbstreet, and Nick Saban. Pat McAfee is the "get the home crowd revved up" talent, which is needed for the live show. Overall it was quite entertaining and free to attend. It'll get your Saturday juiced up. https://promo.espn.com/collegegameday/
