Have fetched The Teen. She is having a cuppa joe and watching me type this. 🙂 So far, none dead. We’ll see how the zombie invasion goes, though.
😀
At any rate, I am trying to come up with “age appropriate”, *snort, laugh* activities for us to do. I am thinking the Drafthouse, at the very least. May take her to Casino El Camino for their rocking tomatillo-cheese-black pepper fries. What do you all think? Anything else?
Spent from 4:30 PM until *11* PM last night doing a quick turn around run to Waco and back.
I’ll let you ruminate on that.
The highway in Temple was shut the fuck down for a mile. Creamy Jesus on Crispy Crackers.
We sat for an hour on that stupid thing doing no more than 3 MPH – in separate cars, texting each other with random “WTF?” and “Dude, srsly?”
All is better now. Sleep and coffee put everything into perspective.
The Process 
Is she more of the sit-and-talk or the go-and-do type?
If the former, how about Spiderhouse? She can take in a slice of Austin ambiance and you can talk about college…
Not unless by Drafthouse, you mean Drafthouse, not Alamo, which is what I was originally thinking. My bad.
I meant the Alamo, 🙂
We are going to take in a flick this afternoon. After that…who knows? Spiderhouse sounds like fun.
Temple fuckin sucks. Like a black hole. That’s always where I get stuck too.
a teen?
The last couple of times I’ve rolled down to Austin (including the mad dash to Flipside), the normally good traffic has turned to utter shit between Temple and Salado. I don’t know why, because there doesn’t seem to be any construction around there. It’s as if everyone suddenly decides that the scenery (even at night) is the most interesting thing in the world, and they all have to drive 20 mph, or they might miss it.
i just realized i do not have your email
sorry wrong post
