MS Office 2007 was just installed on my system at work and one of the things that I noticed was that it has a template and direct integration to BLOGGER. So this is my first test / use of that.
Over the weekend we went to Dallas for two days or art and culture. We went to a musical at the Majestic Theatre which is Dallas's version of the Paramount Theatre here in Austin. It has some very interesting décor. It has lots of gaudy, golden pillars and decorations. Then we went to the Tut exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art. It was also very interesting, wait a minute; it too had lots of gaudy golden decorations. I used to say that the only thing good that ever came out of Dallas was Interstate 35. I can no longer say that because I-35 is one of the worst roads I have ever seen. It is crowded and in disrepair. It is amazing to see the amount of traffic that is on this highway. There really is not much to see along the way. One of the more amusing "attractions" was a place called "Big Rig Adult Video and Novelty". It was really a "big rig" It was a semi-tractor trailer where someone has set up a porn shop. They have literally turned the trailer into a store. It is out in the middle of nowhere. I mean nowhere. There is nothing but farmland out there. There are no cities within 15-20 miles that I could see. Farmer Bob is out on his tractor, tilling up 800 acres and suddenly thinks, Gee I wish we had a porn shop nearby, wait "Big Rig Adult Video" is just 10 miles away! One other site to be seen on I-35 is Bugtussle Road. Not that there is actually anything to see. Just having a road named Bugtussle is what is special.
I got back into Austin around 4:30, by 5:00 I was down at Town Lake running. I needed to do a 15 mile run. It has been awhile since I ran a long distance by myself, so I was a bit apprehensive. I was not worried about finishing due to physical problems but was concerned that mentally I would not be prepared to push myself. Worry no more. I was fine. It was a great run. Two hours and 17 minutes average pace around 9:15 per mile. Everything went well. I got home and took an ice bath which in itself is so wrong. Certain parts of the anatomy are not meant to be surrounded by ice cubes.
On the run yesterday, I went by the baseball fields where there were about 4 games going on. One of the boys, who was about 8 or 9, was wandering around with two baseballs stuck under his jersey making it look like he had breasts. A man, I am assuming to be his Dad or Coach, came up behind him and slapped the back of his head. All he managed to do was dislodge one of the breasts and make it drop down about 5 inches lower than the other. The kid, rather than be upset that he got slapped, saw what happened to his "breasts" and started giggling so hard that everyone around him was laughing. With that, he started sporting around, shoving his chest out, showing off his lopsided boobs.
I saw a few T3ers out on the run, which always is motivating.
