Broke Thespian’s Theatre Company present “Love/Sick” Feb. 10-19
Right in time for Valentine’s Day, the Broke Thespian’s Theatre Company presents the “slightly- twisted, completely hilarious” romantic comedy, “Love/Sick” by John Cariani. Set for Feb. 10, 11, 12, 17 and 19 at the Price Center, “Love/Sick” is a collection of nine short plays that explores the pain and joy that comes with being in love. “This is a great date night out,” said Mitchell Odin, co-founder and president of BTTC. ‘Love/Sick’ presents to the audience abstract but familiar stages of our romantic relationships. You will find yourself laughing at the absurdity and then suddenly clutching your partner in suspense. At another moment you will be joining in with the merriment on stage, laughing and smiling along, and then just as suddenly tearing up at how truthful those tougher moments in our relationships are.” 02/10/2023 12:00 AM

The Economist: Girding the Grid
The Economist: Girding the Grid
The Texas power grid passed another test recently, when a winter storm covered much of the state in a sheet of ice. Although there were significant power outages, some of which lasted a while, they were largely due to ice on lines and trees breaking lines and similar issues. We also had enough power to deal with the even more brutal cold in late December. 02/09/2023 12:00 AM

Gene Lesley Martin II The earthly journey of Gene Lesley Martin II, 52, drew to a close unexpectedly due to a pulmonary embolism on February 4, 2023. Gene began his journey on November 29, 1970, in Victoria, Texas. He was the second of three children, born to Gene L. Martin and Mary Jean Martin. Gene graduated from Victoria High School in 1989. While in high school, he was an athletic trainer for all sports and was a friend to many. He then followed the legacy of his grandfather, mother, and older brother and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from Southwest Texas State University. After graduating from college, he had a calling from God to join the Peace Corps, where he was stationed in Ecuador. He felt strongly before leaving that he was certain to meet his future wife while on this mission, and he did. Gene met the love of his life, Shaila, as she too was a Peace Corps volunteer headed to Ecuador. He remarked that he knew as soon as he met Shaila that she was 'The One.' He just couldn't believe that he had met and was going to marry someone who was more talkative than both his mother and sister combined. Gene was reserved, but when he did speak up or chime in, it was incredibly enlightening and impactful. Shaila drew out the best qualities in Gene, and their relationship flourished in love, light, and service to others. They returned to the United States and married on May 25, 1996. Gene worked for the San Marcos Housing Authority for 27 years as a Social Worker. Gene and Shaila were blessed to have four beautiful children: Trace (22), Truett (20), Tyger (18), and Tate (15). Gene's time here was short, but he was intentional with his time. 02/09/2023 12:00 AM
