  • I'm typing this from a seminar hall in a hotel in San Antonio. Do you know how hard it is to find a Random Thought Girl with people possibly looking over your shoulder?
  • I miss the Austin bypass right past Georgetown every time. (Make that twice.) It is horribly marked with no words like "tollway", "bypass", or "alternate route".
  • I'm taking it on the way back, however. I'm even getting on the new section that comes in east of San Antonio which has an 85 mile per hour speed limit. Wouldn't surprise me to find Spritle and Chim Chim in my trunk.
  • I'm at the Menger Hotel. Something about a ghost?
  • I may have a ghost in my shower because something definitely made the hot water go to "burn your body" mode this morning.
  • There was an Aggie receiver that has been missing since Monday who was found last night. They are releasing details in a second.
  • I like "alone time" but I generally hate traveling alone. Weird.
  • What's up with the outlet mall north of San Antonio. Has all the high tone names but I'm guessing it's a rip off. Right?
  • I found a stuffed toy monkey in my baggage. Definitely the work of Mrs. LL.
  • I used to attend these things and get a seminar notebook that was four inches thick. Now they give you a thumb drive.
  • Topic at 10:00 a.m.: "Introduction to Gas Chromatography". Ugh.
  • The thought of George P. Bush running for office (it looks like Texas Land Commissioner) powers me down.
  • Anyone else tired of the Petraeus "scandal"?
  • Nothing wrong with the Mark Schomburg murder plea bargain mentioned in the Update but the Tarrant County D.A.s office would have tried it just for publicity since it sounds so sensational. That would be wrong, but they would do it.
