First Texas Dinner Is Of Course Steak
After finally arriving at Brenda’s house, we went to run some errands and then ended the night with a delicious steak dinner at Logan’s Roadhouse. It’s good to be visiting my friend in Austin again.

Band Campy
Went to Sopahn’s middle school band concert with my mom, Tommy, Alex and Sopahn’s mom, Marvel. They did renditions of Star Wars, the Peter Gunn theme, a mash-up of Queen songs and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.

Los Alamos Cemetery Photo Romp
Met Stephanie early in the morning at a local cemetery for a photo walk amongst all the oh-so-personal gravestones with their various designs and data.

Today In Los Alamos History
Today I visited Tommy’s office, went shopping for groceries with my mom, picked up Tommy’s dogs from Marvel’s house, took pictures of trees in the wind and had an early birthday dinner for my mom at Marvel’s house. Full day of not much until dinner.

Rubyesque Melt (Sorry, Lisa)
For lunch today I went to Ruby’s in Mission Valley and had my usual Albacore Melt, but this time with my friend, Lannie. Walked around a bit afterwards and came across a blue puppy and some giant chess pieces. Normal, everyday stuff.

Easter Dinner
Had nine people around our table tonight for an almost impromptu Easter dinner. Was only planned since yesterday afternoon. It was nice to have family, friends and one rambunctious little puppy adding much needed energy and frolic to the house. At least temporarily. The peace and quiet that followed was nice, too.
