i am sad to leave austin today...it was sunny and gorgeous yesterday. I didn't even need a coat, my sweater would do.

I am soon to head back to DC, where i'll probably have to shovel snow in order to get into the house.

and....my upgrade on the 3 hour portion of the trip hasn't cleared, so it's back of the bus for me. I shouldn't complain, but still....

the good news: a friend may have landed a wonderful gig on an amazing tour. we should find out in the next day or so!
