Day Two Hundred Eleven...

RAIN! We had rain today! About two inches, not a really hard downpour of rain, but a nice steady rain that went on for hours. At least that is what Jody said, and that is what is in the rain gauge. Not a drop (okay, about 15 drops) in Austin. While I was doing Meals-on-Wheels this morning, it did rain about 15 drops on my car, but that is about it. I understand some areas of Austin did get some rain, and I did see some evidence of rain here and there, but I personally did not see any rain. We are all grateful for any rain we can get, thank you very much.

Today was an extremely busy day in the office, one thing after another going on, and lots of things to be done, lots of things to get completed before the end-of-the-month first-of-the-month chaos, but I think ultimately, everything will be working out okay. Everyone will be happy, and that is what is important.

Can you believe that tomorrow is the end of the month? Pretty soon we will all be tired of the 'commercialization of Christmas', but by then we will also be complaining about the cold weather and all the rain. We have such short attention spans, it is incredible. Oh, well...

I just made reservations for dinner on Saturday night at the 'Bartlett Filling Station'. RESERVATIONS for Saturday night, please, table for two, thank you very much. According to the 'Bartlett Tribune Progress' (Serving Central Texas Since 1886) the restaurant has hired a new chef (with a degree from The Texas Culinary Academy) and experience at many big restaurants around the country. The Tribune Progress also reports that they have added (and this is a direct quote from the front page story) "Crap dips, appetizers and much more...". We can hardly wait. I have never had crap dip, but I have had some stuff that I thought came pretty darn close.

Whatever...

Okay, try to do something nice for someone, and you how you will be repaid for that kindness. Have Fun!
