Falling down and down
It’s the end of a great day. This was the first day of Fall and Austin had some very mild weather. The humidity was low and I spent a few hours this morning on the deck. Sondra got into a tiff with the backyard neighbor over the bushes growing through the fence into his yard. Seems the bushed (vines) were coming through the fence slats. He didn’t like the way the looked so decided to just start chopping. Sondra quickly ran outside to advise him this will kill out plants. She took over the process of weeding the plants from our side of the fence. Glad it was so nice out. Did I help? Not much. I helped by staying out of her way. continue...

Help Save Paramount Theatre
I received an email today that concerns me. It was from the Paramount Theatre here in Austin. The Paramount Theatre is a great historic venue here in Austin. Of the many things going on are the regular movie opening by local actors and/or directory. I attended the Austin opening for Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City, Matthew McConaughey’s Sahara. Just this past November 30 the great Dave Brubeck came to Austin. continue...
Ready to start 2007
As I mentioned in one of my last posts from 2006. My employer closes shop the last week of the year. This is a terrific bonus for the staff. So after the break I was back in the office for two weeks then Sondra and I took off for a week long Western Caribbean Cruise. This was our third trip on the water and third trip to the same islands. The one difference is this was out of Galveston Texas. So a short drive down to the Gulf on Saturday and board the ship on Sunday. continue...
