My Site has been stagnent for some time. I have spent the past 10 months building what I call an Ocotillian Palace. It will be a wood palace made of exotic types of wood. It is mainly ment for fathers and sons to put together and play with. I am making it a three story structure that will be in the shape of an octogon. It has been a long difficult road to design but in the process I have put together a nice little shop and have gained a great deal of knowledge about wood working. Have not worked on the down twon project in a year but intend to work on it again as soon as I get my Ocotillian Palace on the market. Lastly I have been working on the Season 3 of the House of Parris. Expect to release it after Thanksgiving this year.

Well, it has been some time since I have added to our site. Have not been on vacation. Just have not been in the right mood to add to the web site. Mostly I have been emersed in finishing my film on the PC3 aka House of Parris Season TOO and the 4 SEASONS OF MARJORIE. I have yet to announce it on my web site but will in Feb. In addition to this home film, I am reviewing the HITCHER and will be reviewing Season 6 of the Sopranos.

Found an old photo of the Western Military Academy Cadets at the Statler Hotel in St. Louis, Mo. February 25th, 1920. Thought it would be a good addition to the web site.

Ok so I have been on sabbatical or is it hiatus... hummm not sure. I spent August working with Bill on Quarius, which did not go as expected to say the least. September was spent on getting things together in the wood shop and the house so that we can begin the next phase of AlexIndia’s building of Fort Worth. Last May I stopped working on my 7th Street model. I always intended to come back to it. Sometimes you have to step away from a project so that you can see what your looking at. You also don’t want to go into burn out. I did finish most of 7th Street layout in the Spring. Look at the layout now. I have a wealth of articles and stories to share. All coming this Fall of ’06. I am now putting together a news letter as well, which should go out in a month or two. I also have began developing what will become the AlexIndia Trading Oasis. It will be an on line store which will sell directly and through e-bay for special auctions. The Oasis will feature many of our designs that we have developed over the past year. I plan that the buildings will be up for the consumer to purchase very soon. I am also working on a game that should be quite interesting. Also I have been putting the finishing touches on the “House of Parris - Season 2”. It will be released after Thanksgiving 2006. Plans for season 3 are already in the works and under tight security. Alexander and India have both been very busy over the summer months. I will be bringing all our fans up to date on the latest. They too will be offering their own art for sale and auction on the Oasis. All of this and much more is coming soon.

30 July 2006 Sunday -
I have finaly uploaded the finished product of the NEW LOOK for the home page for Alexindia. We have decided that the sand and desert color should be used on a background of green. It is more of an adventurous color. I have also finished a narative on "Orientation" about our site. Lastly I have reconected all the disconected links to the site... if you find one, please let me know. It's like keeping up with kids.

I have worked this past week on getting a NEW LOOK for the AlexIndia Web site. New colors, New graphics and New ways to present good material. I try and always improve upon the last improvment. I also am happy to post the first review of the "Robb Report" review. Robb has submited a review on "CARS". My thanks to Robb, keep'em flying. I also put some color to my graphic at the top of this page of the cowboy in Fort Worth, which originaly came from the Fort Worth Chamber magazine in the 1950's.

I have been trying to put the 3 movies up on the web site that I have seen lately. The lake House, Superman Returns, and The Devil Loves Prada. I also have been working on July's article. The article for July is "Global Freezing". Lastly I have been trying to re-evaluate the content of the web site and search for ways to expand it to maximize what I want it to deliver. Should be posting soon.

For the past month I have been redesigning the review section to make it more user friendly. Now a visitor can go to a list of our reviewed movies, pick the show he desires to read about, then it takes the viewer to a page listing all our reviewers and allows the viewer to pick the individual reviewer he wishes to read. Tonight I have uploaded my personal review of CLICK.

Finaly launching my new web square EXPEDITIONS and with it my first article called BOOKING A ROOM AT THE BAKER HOTEL
FOR THE ALEXINDIA BOARD RETREAT. Have worked a while on it and have come up with some cool ideas for future articles this summer.
2 June 2006 Fri -
Am Working on back end files. Have developed a new WEB Square to take the place of the current family square. This one will be called "EXPODITIONS" and will feature large and small adventures / vacations that we take. The first will be on the Baker Hotel. Just need a bit more time to work the bugs out before I launch it. I am trying to format all the other pages to match the way I will be doing the Expodition page.
29 May 2006 Mon Memorial Day -

28 May 2006 Sun -
Have been working on the review section allot. Most is background stuff. I am finishing up on re-vamping the way I review both movies and food. Also have been taking new pictures of the "Rebuilding Fort Worth" project so that it can also be brought up to date. All and much more coming soon!
10 May 2006 Wed -
Added a new reviewer to the site, Mr. Kieth Hollar. I have also added a link to his web site called The Bicycle Rack. Keith is an adventurer at heart and is one of the few CPA's that is willing to take a risk outside the office. His movie reviews are very thurough but are written from a regular fellows point of view. Strongly incurage checking out the site... very cool!
7 May 2006 Sun -
Wrote review on "MI - 3 " the movie. Some have complained that navigation is not the best between my web pages. Navigation is not one of the more fun web things to do, thus I am lazy. Having said that, I sat for about 3 hours working on some navigation buttons. I think it helps.
30 April 2006 Sun -
Wrote review on "RV" the movie. Began working on the home page of Alexindia.net. Plan to add a sort of "highlights" section to the main page so that folks can home in on articles and topics that are current focuses. Should have it ready in a week or two.
29 April 2006 Sat -
Corrected some bad spelling (Sheri helped), added some more topics to the reviews section. One on Travel and another on fashion. No content yet, but progress. Lastly I added to the FAMILY part. Meredith Beasley has been added. Also have been working on a picture for the 521 club but not published yet. Lastly I touched up a bit on the orientation page.
28 April 2006 Fri -

Worked on the CNB section of the web site under community. Specificly I added some content to the "Design" section of the CNB.
20 April 2006
Worked on the top web squares on the main page which I call the "mast head". Changed the FUN to LEASURE and changed BUSINESS to COMMERCE. Thought they look better. I also added a bit more to the second section of the CNB web section. I enhanced the first design picture of the CNB done by Mr. Gerren in 1950.
16 April 2006
Worked on the CNB Model, painted it some more. No new pics yet though. Also adjusted new minue bar, but not uploaded as of yet.

went down town and for about 4 hours took measurments of Burnet Park and the rest of 7th street. I now have the measurments from Commerce to Burnet Street. Now I have to convert them to graphic files and then begin cutting wood in the shapes of each block. None of this was posted.
11 April 2006
Added this page to the web site! I also added some CNB content but did not launch yet.
