Austin

So I'm spending sometime in Austin this week. The Omni Downtown is beautiful. I snapped some photos. The pool on the roof is great, and the views from up there at night are spectacular. My room is on the 17th floor and there's a balcony, so I was able to lean over a bit to take pics. One is to the North. If you look hard you can see the Texas football stadium. The other is to the South, looking out over sixth street.

Maybe I'm getting old, but sixth street doesn't seem to be as much fun as it used to be. The food and drinks are overpriced and it didn't seem as friendly. Pete's was fun, until they tried to get me on stage to dance to Billie Jean.....those of you who know me are aware of the fact that I work hard not to make a fool out of myself in public. Being urged by 200 people to get on a stage by myself was more than a little uncomfortable!!!!!

All in all, the trip has been fun. I do love Austin and I saw a t-shirt that I absolutely loved: "You can all go to hell. I'm going to Texas." : Davy Crockett. Those Alamo boys rocked!
