Remember

The Alamo. My Pee Wee Pilgrimage is complete. Time for breakfast

The Capitol

The TX Capitol in Austin really is beautiful.

Good Friends

We arrived safely in Cincinnati just in time to head to the Dayton Airport to pick up Elena! We had some snacks and drinks at Margarita Village on the way back with Shannon! Several more fun things are planned for today after we visit Timmy's Dad in the hospital. Yes, another heart attack while in the hospital recovering from pneumonia. The man is amazingly resilient despite his brittle health.

We passed this church on the way to Dayton. It is apparently known as the "Touchdown Jesus." I saw it too late to get a good pic, but if you click on the picture, you'll see other people's photos. I've received some of these before in junk mail from friends, but I've never seen the place in person. It is surreal. Click here to see the church Timmy wanted to visit.

Fun times in Phoenixville! This is the theatre where the Blob was filmed.

Morning Run

The bad thing about arriving so late last night (or rather this morning) was that it was too late to meet up with my friends. I had a nice chat and a cold beer with Jack & James; then crashed.

The good thing about it was my early wake up time! I was able to get up, handle a few voicemails/emails, and then take a nice 5.61 mile run this AM! It wasn't supposed to be that long, but I took a shortcut and got lost by selecting a street that doesn't cross theirs. Nice work slick.

I did have a nice surprise on Gould Street when I passed the Lustron Home pictured above. I've always wanted to live in one of these and perhaps one day I will have one! Sorry the picture is bad - Apparently wiping off my phone camera lense with my drenched shirt was not very effective. Despite the profuse sweating, this sighting made the run completely worthwhile. I still want to be an architect when I grow up.

Time for a bit more work and then off to lunch with old colleagues.
