ABOUT ME

Eccentric......interesting and interested.
Thrill seeking. World-traveler. Bearded. Occasionally handlebar-mustached. Collector of ephemera and antiquities. Genealogist. Work (when I do) as a tour-guide in my hometown of Houston.

The Space
Location! Location! Location!
Our art-filled residence is in a quiet neighborhood in the middle of everything there is to see or do in Desert Edge. The Room, is a middle-eastern fantasy space...filled with Persian Rugs and Orientalist Art and antiques. The adjoining bathroom is shared with the cat, Chester. You may use the kitchen or, sometimes choose to dine with us. (Ask about my infamous Eggplant Chili!)
