Winter storm on the way

It's interesting to see the passage of storms across Texas. Today the temperature is in the teens & single digits in the Panhandle, while in Austin, it's in the 60s. Over in Burnet, the temp is in the 40s.

Books are fun to read when it's too cold to do anything else. I particularly like this title: Why People Believe Weird Things. Why, indeed!

MySpace music

I just played around with MySpace music and listened to Kinky Friedman (who else would care?).
To my dismay, Jesse Lankford (of Jesse Lankford & the Royal Sounds) was not listed, but at least they had the Beach Boys and the Four Seasons. How interesting to see that both the Frankie Valli and the Vivaldi Four Seasons were included!

We are in the middle of winter, but the bright sunshine outside is cheery.

New Year!

Having been off for the last 2 weeks of the old year, I am getting caught up on what I missed.
Many things are happening both at home & at work. At home, there's a new puppy. At work, there are meetings and other events that promise to be interesting & fulfilling.
The weather has changed from rain (which we needed) to clear blue skies with sunshine. A pleasant contrast, and certainly better for the dog to go outside!
A happy 2009 to all my readers.
