BEA HERE NOW | september 2010
Hello, Fall! The kids are back in school, football is back on the tube and (don’t freak out) the holidays are right around the corner. It’s the happiest (or most stressful) time of year. I couldn’t be more excited! The combination of joy and stress feeds the excitement. Along with the transitional weather, fall couldn’t [...]

BYRD’S MARKET & CAFE | A NEW ERA
This market/café is no deli or cafeteria! Although ordering is counter service style, you’ll find the quality of dining is superb gourmet restaurant quality. It’s chef driven, casual dining but there’s no reason they shouldn’t be on your radar. If you haven’t been [...]
BEA HERE NOW | august 2010
One of the perks (or drawbacks) of this position is getting to eat at all the fine establishments Houston has to offer, plus we get food or offers at the office weekly. A drawback if you’re dieting, a perk if you’re a foodie. And with all this eating comes the sacrifice of working in exercise [...]

Tearing into the season’s first watermelon is a time-honored tradition in the small town where I’m from. Dousing it with a half bottle of vodka, though, was how you really knew summer had arrived. Fourth of July parades, church functions, funerals [...]
