Another scorcher today here in Central Texas, so much so that I chose not to venture out of the house at all from 1:30 until after 6 pm when we went to dinner at Rudy's. Good news, at least for my daughter Chandler, our dog Addie and myself is that we hit the road for Breckenridge tomorrow afternoon. Tricia and our son Clancy unfortunately have a few more days of this incarcerating weather.
In the ten years we have lived in the Austin area, this is by far the hottest summer we have experienced here. What's interesting is that I lived a good part of my life in the Phoenix and I never seemed to be bothered too much by consistent 100+ degree days during the summer. I can remember playing golf during the hottest part of the afternoon and the occasional pick-up basketball game. Now bear in mind I was about 15 years younger then, but my point is that I've become a real wimp about the heat here in Texas, irregardless of how old I am. Also, spare me the dry heat stuff. I don't care how dry it is, when it's 110 or 115, it's just miserable. You can stick your head in an oven and that is a dry heat as well. Ok, enough whining about the weather.
Despite the heat, sabbatical still rocks. I just thank the good Lord every day for AC and ceiling fans.
Spent a lot of time getting the kid's entertainment issues sorted out prior to the trip. Burned a lot of DVDs and converted several video files to MP4 format for their iPods. Hit the Dig Pub in Cedar Park here tonight for a beer with a friend. The Dig Pub has Golden Monkey on draft which is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Other experiences from today:
Miguel Tejada ruined my evening
But Lance Berkman and the Astros' bullpen helped pick things up a bit
"The Maestro" was on tonight. Do not call him Bob Cobb and don't put the balm on. Who told you to put the balm on? Oh, and there's nothing available in Tuscany if you're looking to rent there.
Had the best Flauta I've hever had at the Iron Cactus at lunch
