2012 - Day 278/88 - Thursday...

I fear I have become a victim of 'Big City Syndrome'.  It is a curse.  Three years ago this month, Jody and I moved from the Inner-City to the country.  Traffic is always more crowded and congested when school is in session, I understand that.  The University of Texas (I started to mis-spell University just for a joke) is the has the second largest enrollment of any public college in the United States, and I am sure there will something done about THAT in short order.  BUT, I digress.  Traffic since the fall semester began has been noticeably worse.  On a consistent basis, it takes me an hour-and-a-half to commute from the house to the office.  I feel like the California sh*t theory has finally hit.  You know, politically speaking, California sh*t rolls downhill, and eventually makes its' way to Texas (Austin).  AND since a generous number of our new residents have journeyed here from far away and exotic places like Bakersfield (whatever), I can only assume that they brought their (my) theory along with them.

Whatever...

I did get to spend a good bit of time in the office today, and about three o'clock I headed out to the Board for a Volunteer Appreciation function.  It was a really nice event, and there were lots of deserving volunteers in attendance.  I especially like a party that allows me to carry-out, and I took full advantage of that.  Okay, well maybe they didn't let me, but I carried-out none-the-less.  Jody was happy with the haul.

I am totally looking forward to the weekend.  I will take it easy most of Saturday, but there will be work to get done on Sunday.  Two good things should also happen on Sunday; the cold front should have arrived by then, and Miguel is scheduled to come out and help get some things done.

Deeds, Actions, Changes, BALLOONS, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
