Obama is having a town hall meeting at the Austin Convention Center on Thursday morning. Tickets are free but required. You can read more about it here.

I’d like to go, but that would require me to leave the house in search of tickets today, and then it would require me to leave the house at an ungodly hour of the morning to take the bus downtown, because I wouldn’t drive (parking and traffic are both awful at that hour of the day). So, yes, I’d really love to go, but eh … it’s cold, I already ache all over, and maybe it’s best I just keep my butt at home and watch it on TV.

McCain will be holding a town hall meeting in Round Rock, but it’s only for Dell employees. Aren’t they special.

Once again, Austin only gets Bill Clinton for a few hours at one of the community college campuses. Gee, thanks for the attention, Hillary.

UPDATE: Walked Lin out to the truck and froze solid two steps out the front door. It is well below freezing outside at the moment. There is no way in hell I am going out this morning to find tickets for the thing tomorrow, because it would be even less likely I would want to leave the house even earlier than this to go anyway. Just too damn cold. I’m going to go into hibernation until it warms up a little.

Didn’t I just declare it was spring at Casa de Orb yesterday? Yes, I did. The weather doesn’t seem to agree. :(
