The Houston Chronicle has a brief article about the multiple bicycle events in Houston this weekend. Stig and I will be checking out the Sunday Streets in Third Ward.

Also of note: the Houston Mini Maker Faire in Stafford on Saturday.  Adding A (arts) to STEM (science-technology-engineering-math) = STEAM. Fun for the whole family.
