Day 1

Pitstop on the way down…love this courthouse! Found right down the street from the courthouse, three old Ford Edsels… Anyone who’s sat through Texas History knows how important this place is…its the Birthplace of Texas Finally, at the hotel.

tgif…err, tgit

Today is my Friday, thank goodness. The past few weeks have been crazy to sum it up in a single word. Thankfully I’m escaping most of it for the next few days. I wish this is where I was going, but its not. Regardless, I need some time away to think through some stuff and...

Dear Airlines…

While I’m in the complaint / rant mode when it comes to gas prices, I figured I’d go ahead and extend it to the airlines. AA.com is offering a round trip flight from DFW to Austin for $229. Gas–at $4.00/gallon, is cheaper round trip. Dear Airline, do explain this? By the time I drive the 75...

thank goodness!

I haven’t watched much of American Idol (ever, to be honest!), but what little I’ve caught, mostly on Entertainment Tonight, I didn’t want David Archuleta to win. He annoyed me as much as Sanjaya did. So I’m very happy that David Cook won Word is he’s a native Texas (born here), so that’s even better!

Highly Recommended…

Parade article and saw the Randy Pausch had with Diane Sawyer. While I’ve not listened to the lecture yet (pesky dial up connection), I read his entire book in one sitting. All I can say is that it is a must read. I’m trying to convince my 19 year old brother, who doesn’t like to...
