Monday Meanderings - 8.1.2011

I read some F. Scott Fitzgerald at the studio last week and realized that somehow I'd never actually read any of his work. Now I know why.

Tee shirts: The 1st 50 years of marriage are the hardest.

                 So far this is the oldest I've ever ever been.

                 I'm retired and you are not. Na na na na na!

Austin puts on the Cow Parade beginning this week. Fanciful fiberglass cows decorated by local artists and auctioned off for charity. You will recall the guitars from a couple of years ago. Lots of cities have done the Cow parade. Here's one from New York City:

Cowabunga!

But no other city has the Thriller jacket!  A guy in Austin paid $1.8 million for the original, for the express purpose of loaning it out for charitable projects.

This week, for a modest donation, you can get your picture taken with the jacket at Dell Children's Medical Center.

Why is it that the TV remote is never where I am?

Having gone through all the summer sports (baseball College World Series for men and women, Women's World Cup, Cupa America, Tour de France) we are now down to... football. Certainly glad the pros worked out their little differences (maybe they can help Congress), so let's get ready for some football.
