Yep, I was part of the mass lemming migration out of Houston today. I guess we were kind of anti-lemmings, since we were trying to "save our lives" as opposed to ending them. Somewhere on FM2920, after going 2.5 miles in 2 hours, I was ready to run off a cliff. I was ready to do anything as long as it involved motion. I was lucky. I saw a road ( Read more... )

I haven't written in a long time. I have been watching and ruminating. I can't get over this amazing live action play in the form of the New Orleans crisis. It's the whole gamut of human existance. Nobility and depravity, bravery and cowardice, compassion and selfishness. I'm amazed at the range of the human condition. Of course, the media ( Read more... )

Now, we are big ole foodies (literally and figuratively) so it was a really nice surprise for us to amble into some places with supremely tasty food. I will definitely say that we were lucky. We had some fabulous Indian ( Read more... )

I'm having one of those days when I'm both content and discontent. When I feel comfortable in my skin, for once, but uncomfortable in the world. What is up with this reality where innocent people are blown to bits and animals are abused while others squander millions of dollars for their own self satisfaction and donate to causes like "restore ( Read more... )

Well, today is my day to go back home and quit making believe that I'm a lady of liesure with nothing better to do than drive around Austin and find new things ( Read more... )

Since I'm groovin' to Austin, I was wondering,

If you could live in any city in this country, where would you live?

Bicycles are evil. They look all innocent and fun, sitting there all shiny and red. Then, you try to bring them inside up 4 measly steps. They spring into action and trip your old fat butt and cause you to fall to the asphalt below right on that butt! They laugh while you lay there and think to yourself, gee, I hope no body saw that. Then you ( Read more... )
