This Weekend

I may or may not be heading to San Antonio and Austin this weekend. We would be heading to San Antonio to see my cousin graduate from UTSA and then to San Marcos to shop and Austin to visit (in particular to visit a little restaurant on 45th and Duval called Hyde Park Grill that has the best dessert, Peach Pudding) If I do go, it would be good to visit my old stomping grounds of Austin, Texas. Last time I went was in June but I didn't want to go then. At that point in time, a month away since graduation was not enough time to get school out of my system (I guess it took me about 6 months to get over 5 years of school...yet I still have nightmares about missing an exam, paper, portfolio review...you name it! ). So in June, I took a friend to see a free Abra Moore concert at Shadygrove and it was a good experience and it made him very happy, so in the end, it was worth it. My favorite time of year in Austin is December...I don't know..it must be someting about the mystique of the urban hill country (did I just type that? wow.) during the cold and festive month.

If I go or don't go...it won't hurt. I have more important matters at home and there will always be more Decembers in Austin. The things that really matter in life (like being at the birth of your nephew) come only once in life. I'll take that over 10 servings of peach pudding any day.
