Dave's Good Stuff

Today is my last day here in TX. I fly out tonight, and will spend the evening with a friend and a bottle of wine to relax and decompress after a busy and stressful, though not at all unpleasant trip to the Lone Star State.

I can, without reservation, say that the people here are some of the friendliest I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. In spite of the fact that my job (information security) tends to put people on edge, especially when I’m performing audits of processes and personnel, they were, to the last, cooperative, eager to please, and open to any and all suggestions. They even agreed to install a jacuzzi behind the main branch for my next visit next year. Isn’t that something?

Tomorrow looks to be another relatively busy day. I finally get to pick up the Dew Drop at Midwest Cyclery! I cannot wait! It’s going to be so nice to have a completely working bicycle to ride again. The poor Torelli needs a couple of new parts to be 100%, and so I’ve opted to let her rest for the time being. The Fire Mountain is… well, it’s a frame on a nail.

After that, I pick up my brother and his wife at the airport, and then while she’s having dinner with family, we’ll head up to the pool hall and I’ll show him the what’s what on the table.

Until…
