Volume 18 - Day 30/335, 2026 - Friday

We got our walk in this morning, and to be honest, I am a little undecided about walking in the morning. The forecasts I have looked at are contradicting themselves, but if it is at least in the 30s, I think we will walk. I am still hoping to put the plants all back outside on Monday, time will tell. I had a lunchtime meeting in Austin today, and I had two or three errands to take care of on the way to the meeting, and two to take take care of on the way home. I kind of took my time going in to Austin, and I did a couple drive-bys of places I used to haunt. Traffic was not terrible, so that was good, and on the way home, I got stopped by a train. I was close to the front of the line, and I was only held up for about five minutes, and I did not mind it at all. I cannot remember the last time I was stopped at a train crossing, but I thought it was an interesting thing to ponder. I like taking trains, and I like looking at trains. Apparently, I am easily amused. This evening, Gina brought me a Pizookie. I have never heard of a Pizookie, and for sure I have never eaten one. Do you know what a 'portmanteau' is? Look it up, but right now I am discussing Pizookies. A pizookie is a dessert that is like a pizza/cookie, get it? I am pretty sure it will be good, and there is enough of it for several occasions. Gooey, underbaked cookie that you top with ice cream. If I put that all together, does that count as cooking?
