It's all enough to make Hair Balls wish it didn't live here already so it could start making travel plans now!We cannot help but imagine how impressed our luxury-seeking Limey friends will be with "the expansion of Bayport Terminal, the opening of Houston Premium Outlets and Houston Pavillions." Blimey! A Books-A-Million, pet!Not to mention the improved transport delive

  Photos by Craig Hlavaty For someone with such a deep California/New England pedigree - daughter of Broadway/Hollywood actor John Raitt, schooled at Radcliffe and the Northeast coffeehouse '60s folk scene, now living in Northern California - Bonnie Raitt sure gets Texas music. She could almost be the female Delbert McClinton, in fact, except that Delbert's songs generally don't get made into Julia Roberts movies. Thursday night at Verizon Wireless Theater, Raitt was talkative and congenial - very

• Texas Traveler: Bluebonnet Wine Trail

  While in Navasota lovin' on some alpacas, Texas Traveler had a hankerin' thirst. So we got on our trusty iPhone and found the closest winery, a funky l'il shack called the Purple Possum Winery. While in the air-conditioned comfort of the Purple Possum's tasting room, we met a lovely couple we'd seen earlier that day at a local diner. "Are you on the Wine Trail too?" they asked us. The Texas Highway 105 corridor might not be as well-know for it's vineyards as, say, Napa Valley, but there are a

Fred has been making his "fairly famous" cooking sauce for 45 years according to the company website.
