March has been full of madness...
Friday afternoon, I think I decided that one of the best parts of travelling to points afar is the feeling that washes over me upon coming home. Having visited the depths of winter in upstate New York last week, as the plane came in on approach I could see the green of the hills and the city, and I could feel the warmth of the sun through the tiny plastic window.
At the house the battle with the weeds continues, and the elms and pecans are putting on their bright green first foliage. The mower comes out this afternoon to bring some order to the corners of the yard that are beginning to grow.
We've been doing some travelling on the weekends, as well as hosting some travellers, and I've updated my gallery with some snapshots, a few of which are thumbnailed here. I'm not so happy with my camera at the moment, the battery life is short, and I'm having problems getting sharp photos.
Despite that, I have a few photos from my business travels, and some from when Charles and I went to my birthplace, Albuquerque, for a party. This was my very first time to go there without any familial obligations, and I kind of enjoyed it. My friend Dominick spent a good Sunday afternoon with us prior to our departure.
The week following was my first in Austin since starting the gig with LMT. I got some work done before Franz arrived into town for Charles' birthday and for a visit. The party was a smashing success, and Franz had a good time seeing some of the people that were here last time he visited. The Monday after the party I took him out on the motorcycle around the east part of the county. He was impressed especially with the wild game ranch up by Pflugerville with the zebras and the antelope.
This weekend brought a friend of Charles' in town to see the Austin Rodeo. We had a great time watching the events and seeing Joe Nichols afterwards.
The project in New York should be wrapping up this week as far as the technical part. Testing the week following, then some shore leave at home I hope!
