Happy Friday! I always get some of my best work done on Fridays – seriously. When I was working from my office in the Med Center, it was casual – so we could wear jeans every Friday.

I hope you all are having a great week. I’m sharing some things that have been on my mind lately, along with some fun things to do during Houston summers.
