We recently went to Ziti's in Friendswood and we really enjoyed it. Great food and great service. If you're looking for a good local Italian restaurant, I've got to recommend this one along with Babba Brunos (although Babba Brunos is a bit more expensive).

Got to see Christian's old Geo Prism parked down the street with the people we sold it to a while back. Talked with the owner who said it is still running great and has been a "lifeline" for him.

That felt good.

Helped a neighbor clear a clogged septic line, and later, helped them install a new toilet flange and a toilet.

I'm not thrilled about the flange installation... it was a bit hokey, but we were running out of options and they were desperate to get their toilet working again. So, we got it on, and its working. I hope it stays that way for a while.

Helping your neighbor feels good. If we can't help those close to us, what are we here for?
