Exhausting but fun day yesterday here in hot, sunny Austin!
Had a great time visiting with Sara, playing with her great daughters and their friends – you know, when you’re on a plane or in a line or at the store, and get annoyed by other people’s kids? Sara’s girls are so cool and cute, it was such fun to hang out with them!
Then dinner with my e-mail pen pal Christian. It was nice to meet him in the flesh – cute flesh, at that. He’s a personal trainer and triathlete, who I sponsored in last year’s Hill Country AIDS Ride. Had dinner at a Chuy’s, a cool Tex-Mex joint. I never realized the decorative possibilities inherent in covering a ceiling with hubcaps. Then, stayed up real late, hanging out on the cushiony bench outside my hotel room, under a lazily turning fan. How cool is it that they have comfy seating outside at this hotel? How relaxing and social.
Today: not sure! Time for breakfast, then off to paint the town red with 3-year-old Iolana and her mom!
