wow, i can’t believe i had a 3 day weekend and couldn’t even find time to make this week’s houston events calendar. i should have worked on it last night, but was busy feeling some emotions. i’m better now – it’s funny how sometimes just going outside and doing something, anything to get out of your own head, can put your “craziness” in perspective. i’m feeling much better today. and the calendar is now done.
