No Snow Zone

It's nice to be home and have spring in full effect.



The redbud outside of my office window is in full bloom, the oak trees are dropping their leaves, the mountain laurels are dripping with fragrant purple blooms, and the dandelion weeds in the backyard greeted me with towering yellow blooms threatening to age into millions of seeds to create more millions of weeds.

My back is sore from raking leaves off the driveway, and pulling the crop of pernicious weeds. Once pulled, I sprayed the remains with weed-be-gone; time will tell if I've accomplished the mission with them.

The return to Austin last Friday was amusing, considering the plane-full of young hipsters that were flying in for the South by Southwest extravaganza. Treos, Macbooks, CDs and scripts being passed all around between kiddies in their hoodies and black outfits. Bedhead and librarian spectacle chic. It was my first flight with JetBlue, and I was truly impressed with their planes. The satellite tv/radio could really be a great selling point, but I can't get where I would want to go with their rewards program.
