I’m checking in during my extended vacation in Texas. It seems strange to call a trip to Texas a vacation, but that’s exactly what it is and I’m having a blast.
This past weekend, I played groomsman for some old friends tying the knot. The wedding went off without a hitch, the reception was fun and I looked pretty sharp in the non-traditional khaki/brown tuxedos. Pictures will follow after I get back to New York.
The rest of my time has been spent catching up with old friends - out at the “family compound” on the San Bernard river and tonight in Galveston. The house on the river has satellite television but I am without an internet connection, which is a good thing. But I couldn’t resist getting on Catherine’s Macbook here on The Island (cue the Lost outro sound effect) to catch up on some emails, news and this blog. It appears the only news I missed was something involving Kramer. I guess that means it’s a good time to be unplugged.
I am extending my stay by one day to attend the Texas vs. Texas A&M game in Austin on Friday with my uncle, aunt and cousin. The last time I attended this game in Austin was my freshman year at Texas A&M when the Aggies were embarrassed 15-51. I’m hopeful this game won’t be a blowout based on the seasons both teams have had.
I’m going to disconnect for now and enjoy the rest of my vacation on the Texas Gulf Coast - it’s good to be back.
Happy Thanksgiving!
