Once we got our stuff up into the hotel we decided to go walk around. The movie guru in my life wanted to find this place called the Texas Chili Parlor, this is where they filmed the bar scene in the movie Death Proof. They also had some great chili which enjoyed for a late lunch. After that we walked around the Capital building and did a little shopping as we made our way back to 6th street. We walked up ...

... the paganism's that were they believed were taking place. After the missions were completed we headed to the Lyndon B Johnson National Historical Park we took a tour around the ranch and a ranger led tour in the "Texas White House" and tomorrow we are going the LBJ presidential library. All in all, the day was very relaxed and easy. The cafe we had lunch in had an ...

Alaska Airlines I hear just started doing this direct flight from Seattle to Austin which is cool because it got me here in 3.5 hours. Another 20 min public bus ride for 75 cents and I was at my hotel. I spent the early evening walking around from 6th @ Guadelupe down to 2nd, as far east cas Neche, north to the State Capitol and a bunch of streets in between.

I did the game of count the ...

1. The girl says she definitely wants kids and couldn’t date anyone who doesn’t, and in fact people who "hate" children (the way I obviously do) must hate themselves and mankind and Jesus. So I find out she wasn’t real thrilled about the first topic. And she’s ****** because she now realizes she shouldn’t have ordered a salad because it doesn’t matter if I think ...

My brother Eric had been busy while I was gone. He showed up a few hours before I left for Asia (on a one-way ticket with no plans to return) and told me he had just gotten engaged. A few short months later, he got married. Then they got pregnant on the honeymoon. Then they had a baby girl. Then his infant girl went from a few weeks old to a few months old, and I could see from pictures that she was adorable. Then a few days before I ...

I think I'm exhausted just thinking about all of it. My brain is on overload with all the various sights, facts, and experiences we are going to be having. We look forward to having an opportunity to blog along the way and add some photos so you can see the highlights.

Hello y'all, I haven't posted in several months on this blog, so what did I do with my summer? Well, I've been out in Sterling, NY working at the Sterling Renaissance Festival. That closed on the 19th and I packed Oleg (the sidecar rig) onto Sancho (the trailer), hitched Sancho to Angus (the pickup truck) and drove down to Austin, TX to visit my overwhelmingly welcoming family there and to await the ...
