Cypress and Houston
Basketball
Well the Houston Rockets lost to the Lakers! Oh well next time. So now the LA Lakers are up on the Denver Nuggets by 2 games ... what do you think? I think we need to get back on board and make 2009 a better year! Perhaps next year will be better, but this year we still have other sports to contend with, so let's kick it Houston!

Welcome
Welcome to my blog. I am new to this so I'll try inputting information that's interesting as it happens.
One of the things I've learned while living in the northwest is that Katy, Cypress, and northwest Houston are great places to live. The northwest corridor from Houston has great school districts and exemplary schools! Many award winning students have come from these northwest areas and some have gone on to become famous people. Do you know of any?
