I’ve been quite proud of my Canes during this basketball season. Our only complaint is that people rank Duke highly in a year they don’t deserve it. And now, my team is coming to Austin! I’m very excited!!! It all happened on St. Patrick’s day. And, BTW, Ireland’s colors are green, orange, and white…just like […]
We didn’t do much with/at #SXSW this year. We did make plans to and attended #gdgt. That was the same day as Circle Brewing’s birthday party. So we had beer (well, our friends and I had beer) and then took the train from there to downtown. On the way there, we stopped at Manuel’s Cuban […]
Whew….an understatement. The “leak”? The dishwasher. yay! The dishwasher had a big pool of water sitting in the bottom of it. We don’t know how or why it got there, but the warranty guy turned it to a cycle to make it drain. …and all the water drained. It was like magic! To test it, […]
It rained last night. Today, when I got to the town house, I found small puddles of water in the middle of the kitchen floor. Worrying that we had a leak, I checked the ceiling, the windows, the doors, and both the dishwasher and refrigerator. All were bone dry (even upstairs). In fact, the biggest […]
Today was quite busy, but noting much that’s photo worthy. I met the painters this morning so they could cut the hole for the cat door. I also finished cleaning the kitchen cabinets, the floor under the range, and the outside of the range, itself. (Next task here is to clean the burner grates, the […]
Today was day 1 of our painting contract. Our guy, Ray, had to be in San Antonio today, so Saturday, he introduced us to his right-hand guy, Saul. Saul said he could do it all in two days. But then, in between, one of Saul’s trucks died alongside a highway. So, Saul called in Joaquin […]
We have so many stories and plans to tell about our townhouse. While we wait for our new home to earn a name, I’m calling it #ANewHome so my Tweets make sense. We closed on the 28th. We took possession on 31st. We’ve spent the last few days deep cleaning (vacuuming air returns, cleaning grills, […]
Renting is a Luxury We moved into this “luxury” apartment with the idea we’d be here for 2+ years. We liked renting. When a bulb burned out, we filled out an online report and they came to change it. It was a far cry different than owning (the maintenance burden of) a home. …but then […]
How many women were arrested? Sex? okay. Were they effected by the rain? I guess today’s journalism schools aren’t teaching grammar. Source: http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/local/austin/72-weekend-dwi-arrests-in-austin
E and several of our #childfree friends have late-November through early-December birthdays: Kelly, Jeff, E, Judy, and Ryan. So, we made a huge weekend out of it for all of them. Friday, Jeff, Judy, E, and I went for Thai lunch in Cedar Park on our way to Flat Creek Estate winery. We had the […]
