こんばんは。How’s it going?

Today in Austin the temperatures hung around freezing all day, but we got a lot done. A few things we did:

  • Koa and I got haircuts
  • Bay and I went to the post office to buy postage to mail one of his paintings that he sold
  • Bay and I spent an hour practicing driving (he’s improving a lot!)
  • I worked on a friend’s website
  • Shopping for some Team USA Olympics gear
  • Tried Taco Bell’s new “nacho fries”

Then in the evening, it was time to relax with a wonderful dinner of “Taco Rice”, which is basically rice with seasoned ground beef, cheese, lettuce, jalapeños. Yum!

And of course we watched a bunch of Olympic events, most notably the Women’s slope-style and half-pipe events. After seeing those events, Koa really wants to learn how to snowboard. He was amazed when I told him I snowboarded a lot in Southern California. I think it was a combination of “there’s snow in Southern California?” and “my dad knows how to snowboard?” Hey, I used to be cool. 😆

Today’s photo is… well, it needs no explanation. 😺

I hope you had a nice Sunday!

Today’s photo is of some cars parked outside my office. It’s interesting that looking at them from a new perspective, you can really notice the huge differences in the sizes of the vehicles. There are three SUVs parked adjacent to each other, but one of them is gigantic, isn’t it? 😲

I hope you had a nice Monday!

“Washi?” Cedar Park, 2018

Today, just a photo. Honestly, this is one of those late-night “what am I going to take a photo of?” snaps. But we do have a bunch of (I think) cool things around the house. 😀 Like a squirrel washi tape dispenser. 🐿️

And today is my father’s birthday. 80 years young! 🎂🎉 Happy Birthday, Dad!

Anyway, we made it to the weekend – Yay!

Burger Lunch

Today I met a friend at a burger place for lunch. I don’t go out too often, or eat lunch at all, so it was really nice to get out of the office! Plus catching up with a buddy over burgers and $1 beers is fun. Thursdays at Hat Creek are when draft beer is only a buck, so it got pretty crowded at lunch. Luckily my friend and I beat the rush by arriving a little early (11:30am) so there was no waiting. Yay! And the burger was pretty good, and the fries were excellent. I’ll be going back for sure!

It’s hard to believe that we’ve already come to February, isn’t it? 2018 is flying by… soon it will be summer. 😀🌞

I hope you had a nice Thursday!
