where there's nothing "to do"

that's the slogan for good ole marathon, texas...the home i left a few months ago. so many changes can happen in big ways, in such a short amount of time. i miss the cool breezes that somehow still exist in the dead of summer, making summer not so unbearable...the chill that settles every single night...the horizon in every direction...iron mountain, glass mountains, santiago and elephant mountains. so, my little town has a new website. check it out here. and while you're there, also check out the dining section...i made the cut! thanks to danny self, owner of the marathon motel, this website is made possible.

so next time you're cruising through west texas on your way to somewhere else, you'll know where to find marathon, tucked away in the middle of nowhere.
