You look like you're headed out to hug the whole beautiful world.

That was pretty much the feeling.

Also, when the wind blows in Texas, it's always made me feel like I was about to fly.

I moved to Austin nine years ago, and never regretted it for a moment. One of the things I particularly love is that Texas Weather is a drama queen! I always enjoy reading your posts, but I must confess that I am particularly enjoying the Texas ones. (And your train trip observations.)

Texas Weather is a drama queen! How perfect is that?

I spent the night in Austin with my younger brother and his family -- they've recently moved back there. He took me to see Barton Springs Pool in Zilker Park, which looked like a completely amazing place to swim, and also out on a boat on Ladybird Lake, which was really fun. I've given readings in Austin a couple of times, but haven't really spent much time there. Maybe someday I will -- I've heard such good things about it. Glad you're enjoying the Texas posts -- it was so good to be there.
