Today

I ate Vietnamese food at Triumph Cafe.

I saw Kinky Friedman. He had the hat, the jacket AND the cigar.

I bought pink corduroy pants for $10.

I love Austin!

I DO exist!

Time goes by so quickly sometimes.

Last you left me, I was finishing up the wedding circuit and starting a new job.

The weddings all went well. It was wonderful to see my Mizzou girls twice in a short span. I miss you!

My job is great. I've been there four months now, and I'm really happy. I've been working REALLY hard since just before Christmas (like 60 plus hours a week hard), but it's right. I'm editing, managing, organizing and working with some great people. My boss is especially top notch. I even get to travel a little! So far I have been to NYC and Nashville. Later this month I'm in Austin, and eventually I will get to go to Chicago and Florida.

And I will not be working as much as I am all the time---so I'm told. I am slightly worried about this, but I trust my boss. For now I can handle it; the overtime pay is pretty great.

So there's the update. Now I will pass on an absurdity that I heard uttered by a city bus driver:

"You people are so ARROGANT! You're just arrogant. No wonder us drivers are in such bad moods all the time!"

This was in response to people with passes flashing them instead of waiting behind the man putting his $2 fare in the reader one nickel at a time.

Yes, Mr. Driver, those of us who take public transportation instead of driving are nothing but arrogant jerks.

While we're on absurdity, it was 71 degrees here last Saturday. Screw winter!
