March Madness and college basketball is over. Now if we can just get caught up on our taped TV programs before NBA playoffs begin. You walk a fine line to maximize your TV time.
I might as well confess - our marriage is up and down right now. First Barb is up to go to the bathroom and then back down to bed then I am up to go to the bathroom and back down to bed. Repeat as needed.
I mentioned that our very most favoritest gumbo place is - through tragic circumstance - no longer open. So we have been searching for an alternative source. You can get okay gumbo lots of places (Red Lobster for example) but great gumbo seems to be elusive. Thought we were on to something when we checked out Pappadoux Seafood Kitchen's Salad and Gumbo lunch special. Pappadoux always has great (and expensive) seafood - maybe this would be the holy grill.
Service - great
Portions - generous
Bread and salad - excellent
Gumbo - disappointing
Our next attempt may, or may not be, a little hole-in-the wall that gets rave reviews, but has failed health inspections twice in the last two years. Maybe right after the inspector comes back for the revisit and improvements have been made.
Our annual contribution to living green is underway. Barb set out our tomato plants the other day. Now we begin the very satisfying ritual of checking each day for new blooms and fruit that has set; also the pleasant pastime of sitting on the patio with a good cup of coffee and watching the tomato plants grow.
Latest art project for Austin - "Play me, I'm yours." Fourteen pianos on the streets of Austin (literally) as part of Art Week Austin. Located throughout downtown in public parks, streets and squares, the pianos are for any member of the public to play and to decorate and personalize.

What happened to your gumbo place?
The couple that owned the place could not resolve their differences and dissolved the partnership in a most unfortunate way. Police called it a "murder/suicide."
ooooo!
