Arrived at random bar just in time to pay twenty bucks, get a glass of champagne and toast 2008. Happy new year all.

God bless Texas, where the local sub shop has diet dr pepper on tap.
BBQ in progress at shananaomi.com
Max just asked the hays county sherriff (directing traffic at the salt lick) for a picture but apparently it’s against policy.
Shopping on south congress and then out to salt lick.
we are like Little Women, all of us camped out in the great room with our books and a fire (and a computer, but that’s because I’m Jo).
Came back to deer on the front lawn.
At Alamo drafthouse to see Charlie Wilson’s War, drinking buckets of beer and eating queso.

Have commandeered the minivan so the kids (us) can go out drinking in Austin.
chilling in Austin, debating which bars/bands to see tonight, not doing much at all. ah, vacation.

There are two basic options for family television viewing during the holidays, as everyone who still ventures back to their various heartland knows all too well. There’s football — sure! if that’s your thing! — or movie musicals. (I am…
back in LA, working.
Pho > fast food, and faster too.
Leaving Fresno in the fog, just like I arrived.
