I’m a little worried about the weather. I made the big transition yesterday, after I got in from a short (4 mile) walk. Got the miles done in under an hour, but after sweating the last few hundred meters, I decided it was time to switch to the summer sandals. I’m just afraid that the … worried about the weather

I’m still the check in desk at “Heart Break Hotel.” In fact, I feel more a like command post for “Heart Break Central” rather than just a mere check in desk. It seems like it’s getting worse, but only by degrees. Must be Mars. Or, must be Mercury. However, I did get much pleasure from … Shakespeare in Love

Having lake front property, even if it’s only a small trailer pad, right on the lake, it’s supposed to be nice. It’s supposed to be idyllic, scenic, and calming. Living in a town that calls the University of Texas major industry is also nice. And spring break is supposed to be a relaxed time because … lake front property

One of these days, I’m going to learn to pay closer attention to my own astrology. Never try to update your hair color when Mercury is Retrograde and Mars is stationary.

And with the stars in virulent disarray, I had to take the little PowerBook to the shop to get fixed. The horror of it all. I’m down to one and a half computers here. … concrete and barb wire

So one of my neighbors has this totally hot (Scorpio) sister, older sister, and she was supposed to be in town for an evening of fun and revelry. Oh, she did show up last night, just as sick as can be,with a fever, so much for being hot, and so much for a night of … neighbors has this totally hot (Scorpio) sister

I’m not sure whether I’m the check in desk for “heartbreak hotel,” or just another disgruntled Austin person who gets a little fed up with the whole SXSW thang. Instead of engaging in the usual party activity right now, however, I’m taking it easy. I finished reading Cormac McCarthy’s “The Crossing” last night, book Number … heartbreak hotel

Texas: the Bluebonnets are going to be springing up everywhere with last week’s rain, and the ensuing cool weather. It just reminds me why I like living here so much. I’ve tried to live elsewhere, but even the breathtaking Rockies, or the exquisite parts of Northern California, especially the shoreline, it just doesn’t compare.
