I'm Dreaming of an Orange After Christmas

I am going to Austin tomorrow!

Up 290 and Back a Again

Today, I spent the day in Austin again.

Altered Books

Visiting the Texas Book Festival reminded me of altered books.

Larger Than Life

Today, I spent the day at UT. Notice, I am not saying Austin; just UT. There is a difference. I did not get to S. Congress, Kerbey Lane, Lucy in Disguise, Mega whole Foods, Hill Country, etc... Not even a Segway.

I did have the best visits of all. I saw for the first time the Barbara Jordan statue. The schulptor really captured her essence!

I also got to visit with my mentor, who was in the early '80's, the best prof and advisor in his particular college on campus. Now, he is a graduate dean.

Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me in Austin

February 3 WHOLE AUSTIN

Thank you Denny’s for the free breakfast! I know only of three locations in Austin. Since I did not get to the Denny’s at 5:30 a.m. as planned, but a little later, I assumed that we would have to go to another location, due to a long line. We were able to have breakfast at the one on 15th. That was the one we went to first since it is the location closest to the Four Seasons.

The presentation was great. Afterwards, we went to Whole Foods for dinner. Their capinno soup is much denser than the soup at the Houston WF. Perusing the store felt like a tour of my soul. “My heart leaps up…”

OK OK, since my presentation is over, I really have a lot of time on my hands. Tammy shared this with me today.
