5 Things Tripping Me Out About Austin

1) They warned about the cranes and shiny new scrapers..

2) My level of disconnect - all so new on fourth at, all so young by sixth.

3) That I'm posting from the place my wife and I had our first date!

4) That last time I lived here George W was the governor.

5) That I still got that far west vibe watching the sun set across the inner hills on Congress st bridge, and that I followed that sun all the way west to the Pacific over a dozen years ago.
