Yesterday a friend passed away into the hand of God. He wasn’t real close but he was a friend. He had problems as all of us do but he couldn’t seem to deal with them. In the end they got the best of him and took his life. Many times I tried to help him escape those problems and issues but it was his choice to stay where he was. It doesn’t make the hurt any easier in thinking about it. He was a human being like all of us, a child of God. Tomorrow I talk to another like him and hopefully change the direction. Eric will always live in my memories as a wonderful person regardless of his issues. Eric will be the one I use as a guidepost to hopefully help others. God bless you Eric. May you finally find rest.
According to Paul Burka of Texas Monthly Gov.

I am sorry to not provide any new postings recently. I have been involved with Fiesta, so much that I ended up catching the bug that was running around the Commission offices. Bad timing but such is life. I’ll be busy throughout the weekend but may try to get a posting out this weekend in the down time. A couple of topics I want to try to touch on are early voting, the diversity of Fiesta, and a piece I’m building on crowd sourced news. The later one should be an interesting one to complete. Lately there has been so much on the future of news in America. I really believe that newspapers as we know them today will cease to exist and a new model for reporting and distributing will emerge. In the meantime, enjoy Fiesta and do it responsibly. The last weekend is probably the most intense of the week and we should all do our part to insure the safety of others.
