Austin, TX (April 7-9, 2008)

Who knew? Texas kicks ass. Well, Austin does anyway. Likely a case of an oasis of cool in a sea of suck. Spent 3 nights here visiting Jessica B. and Joey R. Jess just bought a cute little house not far from UT and Joey lives in a sweet apartment complex on the southwest side of town. Binge eating was a frequent activity during our stay. Mexican and BBQ seem to be the cuisines of choice here. Breakfast tacos in the morning, BBQ brisket for lunch and maybe pulled pork for dinner. Feels like we gained about 40 lbs each in 3 days. Between meal activities included drinking, canoeing in the ‘other’ Colorado river, turtle hunting, swimming at Barton Springs, ‘losing’ my credit cards and license, seeing some live tunes and rockin’ out with Joey and Tim Dyer.

Wildlife sited: Armadillo (smashed), turtles (thousands), Longhorn cattle (in the CITY of Dallas), weird sounding birds.

    If you see any more armadillos (of the unsquished variety), run up behind them. They jump straight up in the air! Bouncing armadillos are fantastic.

    Okay, you know this one will elicit a comment – you “lost” your license and credit cards ????????????
