We went to Austin for the weekend and stayed a few extra days. It's very easy to be at my sister's house. The neighborhood pool we've gone to for years and years is permanently closed this year, so we haven't had the chance to swim that much here. So, it was nice to be able to swim whenever we wanted to. Paul was going to go into the Austin office and work from there, but somehow that never materialized and he just telecommuted. That's not something he can do all the time, but it is nice when he can.
Anyway, I felt myself really relaxing into the rhythm of the summer. Like the last little bit of tension from this crazy busy spring finally went away.
We were getting ready to leave--hoping to find a few letterboxes--when we realized that the back tire was completely flat. Many thanks to Lamb's Automotive in Austin for patching the tire relatively quickly and with great service. But that meant we were delayed, so we of course couldn't stop. Story of my letterboxing life! But, the boxes will be there when we go back in August.

At some point I could address the myriad internet pseudonyms floating around, but I'm not a brand, I'm a person. And apparently I like to go by a lot of different names.
I still don't do facebook, but I have a google+ I forget to check if that helps.

Hello and Happy Summer!
What a sweet sister. You stayed with her in the aftermath of the hurricane, didn't you? It would be a high compliment if I heard someone say of me, "It's very easy to be at (her) house."
