Anyway - Ms. Phair has a new CD out and has been touring the West Coast. I haven't heard the new disc yet, but initial reviews were mixed. Here's a song by song explanation of each track by Ms. Phair. I wish I could explain what she's doing with her hand in the picture below:
On the West Coast and soon to be touring the Third Coast is my friend Belinda. She called me this afternoon to ask about visiting Austin next month. She was hoping I'd be less stressed with my new job and reminded me that the last few times I visited her in Calif I was not a lot of fun. I would have to agree.
One time, we went to a fancy wedding together at a very nice vineyard, and I spent most of the reception in a corner editing the book my dad and I were writing.
Another time, we drove up to NorCal for the weekend, but I had to take conference calls with a very upset client in Canada for most of the drive up.
Anyway, I convinced her that I was indeed less stressed now, and I assured her that my new boss would not be calling me up at 3:AM because there was a problem processing the New York Times or WSJ feeds.
There is, however, a small problem. She's coming the weekend of the Austin Marathon. And I really can't image asking her to wait for hours while I run a marathon, so I've decided to just do the half instead. And in that case, I'm already trained. It feels so good.

argh! you can't drop to 1/2 now I have zero incentive to do the full, even if I don't want to do it.
BTW that pic was funny at first glance when I saw the A heart J I assumed her name was J until I read the text. I was thinking wow I didn't receive this Christmas card
You should run the half. Come on - all the cool kids are doing it.
That's funny about the card. I think I'll send it out next Christmas just for grins.
Interesting post. Cute photo booth pics. The girl w/tattoo book was alright. I am reading the second one, the girl with/doing something else?? Can't remember.
