Extremely local news:

Lin bought two tall and skinny stereo speakers for the TV system … and a 100 watt Peavy amp for his guitars. He got fantastic deals on both. I expect to be totally deaf in a few days.

It turned out to be another beautiful day in Austin. It’s as if there is an invisible shield making these storms stop to the west of us and just sit there until they die. Weird.

They are closing The South Forty. Long-time friends and readers may recall that used to be our corner bar (like Cheers). We haven’t been back in ages, but we are still a little sad to see it go. Told you even if we moved back to the old neighborhood, it would never be the old neighborhood again.

Everyone and their ten children must have been at the grocery store this afternoon. It was the craziest I have seen it in ages. Must remember to go shopping in the mornings when it is quiet and peaceful.

I still have a headache. Lin’s “shredding” isn’t helping.

Gotta get back to dinner. I’d rather just go back to bed.
