Writing for a living - - - scary!!!!
Sandwich generation stuff?
Movies . . .yea, likey likey.

Okay, now i'm even more confused.

Springtime!

The weather in Austin today is spectacular! Not that Austin doesn't have its fair share of those - between the end of May and the end of September it's miserably hot here. For sure. But the remaining 240 days or so of the year are generally - well - exquisite. (Admittedly, a little more rain would be nice, especially for the aquifer.) So think I of the people up north who are still fighting snowstorms and I think of how lucky I am to live in such a great city, full of energy and brimming with hope. There's so much going on in this town at any given moment it's like a mini-universe unto itself. And people here seem so hopeful, in spite of the failing economy that is, yes, leaving its mark even on sunny Austin. What impresses me most about this place, as opposed to New Orleans, which is one of only 3 of my other points of reference since I've only lived in 5 towns in my life, is that it's a town that seems to always be open to new ideas. The energy is fresh and the word 'progress' isn't sneered at.

I like that, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

At least, not for now.

Just lucky I guess.
