Matt Stigliano // While traveling through San Antonio as a real estate agent, I come across a lot of interesting sights. These are just a few of them.
I noticed recently that many of the trees were starting to bud. After the rains I suspect full spring bloom will be upon us in no time.
Today has been a beautiful day and as @ColleenPence tweeted earlier, it's finally patio weather in San Antonio.
Where's your favorite outdoor spot in San Antonio?
PS I know sprungin' isn't really a word, I just thought the title sounded cool.

Anything ordered off the new menu will have some of the proceeds donated to Operation Homefront, a non-profit organization that provides help and support services for military and their families
Outback has committed to $1 million and I can only hope they'll give even more. Interesting fact I learned about Outback: their employees regularly volunteer for overseas tours where they set up Outback Steakhouses in war zones in order to provide the troops a great meal and a taste of home while they are deployed. I had never heard of this before and while I see it as a great marketing benefit to Outback, I also think it's one if the coolest things I've ever heard. Imagine being in Afghanistan, far from home, and having a sit down meal with your guys and ordering a Bloomin' Onion! Good work Outback!
Oh yeah, the photo...cuts of sirloin, ribeye, chicken, ribs, and shrimp piled high on a plate and served family style for troops, wounded warriors, local civic leaders, and the business community to help spread the word about the new menu. Thanks Outback and Operation Homefront. It was delicious and we had a great time.
If you're in the military, bring your ID during the month of March and get a free Bloomin' Onion!
Living in San Antonio, with it's large military presence I get to see a lot of the wonderful things that are being done to help the troops - both as a simple "thank you" and to help them and support them as they return to the States. My father served in Vietnam and it makes me quite proud to see how people have really gotten over the "right or wrong" arguments when it comes to supporting the men and women of our armed forces. Feel how you want about war, but these people deserve the love and support of their communities. I know I wouldn't have the guts to do it.
Sometimes I wish I had a job in trucking just so I could roll down highways late at night enjoying the view.
Yesterday my wife and I spent the day hanging pictures and mirrors and such. Our place is starting to feel more like home now.
You do have to select your Valero carefully though. If the employees don't care about their coffee station, you'll probably wind up with a bitter cup of mud.
I've been doing the whole gym thing lately. Not something I've ever been particularly interested in or good at. It's hard and sometimes I whine that it hurts or I don't care about it, but the fact is, I'm kinda enjoying it. Shhh, don't tell anyone.
My area (Blanco and 1604) did get quite a bit of sleet, which piled up on my windows as I used the wipers.
I guess I should feel lucky that I saw sleet and snow in San Antonio.
