  1. Surly covers too much ground. My parents are from Jasper and we still have a house there. My Uncle Tommy speaks in a language only the locals can understand, I nod along and laugh when he pauses. Who's up for beers at the Tallulah brewery Thanksgiving weekend?!
  2. I rented a house in Chacras de Coria near Mendoza for a month when my kids were younger. I said at the time that we should have never returned to the US and still kind of think that. There is a TexasEx that is COO at Vines of Mendoza and she was a great resource in setting up wine tours, horseback riding and dinner recs and pretty much anything else. BA is great, but highly recoomend the wine country.
  3. yes that was them. she was pissed at the guy getting in your kids face. and hey their seats were better than mine!
  4. wife and daughter also were in 328c and that description matches exactly what they experienced. they couldnt stop talking about the coked up asshole in acid washed jeans sitting in front of them.
  5. My birthday lunch with family is always at the Chili Parlor. When my kids were little they would bitch about it (nothing fried!) but tough shit, it's my birthday. Now that they are grownish they still give me shit about celebrating my birthday at the Chili Parlor, but they love it. I catch them going with their friends, so passing the torch to the next generation and doing my part to keep old Austin alive.
  6. when I was growing up, whenever we went to visit my grandad in Breaux Bridge, he took us to either Pat's or Don's in downtown Lafayette. Looks like they are still open 40 years later so they must be doing something right.
  7. just voted at city hall downtown atx. two other people there - hope that isnt an indication of voter interest

    Gym Pet Peeves

    it's the fact that I gave him shorts - and he's still wearing jeans. I thought I solved the problem, but now I'm irritated he took my shorts and still isnt wearing them!

    Gym Pet Peeves

    My building has a workout room - just basic stuff treadmills, ellipticals, some machines and free weights. Its usually empty until this time of year of course. New guy starts coming in and doing 30 secs of everthing, including some wicked kick boxing moves on hanging heavy bag- all while wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Far be it from me to be critical, I'm old and just trying to do basic stuff a few times a week - but this guy is under my skin and the jeans wearing is killing me. So after I keep encountering the guy, I think maybe he cant help wearing jeans, maybe he doesnt have shorts. So I put an extra pair of shorts in my bag and sure enought the guy is working out in his jeans the next day. When he's walking out, I offer him the shorts and he accepts, so I think the problem is solved. Nope, all three days I see him last week he's still wearing jeans. I can't take it.
  10. I was there a couple of months ago. The Cellar at Duckworths was a pretty cool speakeasy. Ate at Sea Level one night was no PF Changs, but you may enjoy it anyway.
  11. If I'm walking around anywhere in public and see someone with a gun, I'm not thinking they are there for my protection. I'm thinking get away from this loon and find a cop.
  12. there is definitely some confusion here. the top 6% are guaranteed admission. That doesn't preclude other non-top 6% getting in. At my kids high school, 36% of his class that applied to UT got accepted, and most of the ones that didnt get accepted were offered CAP of PACE which could put them on campus sophmore year. The skew is likely due to a much lower acceptance rate for McCombs for example than other UT colleges. And my kid, who may have been in the top 25% got in without me having to buy a building so its possible....
  13. Daughter did not make HS cheer, so her pivot is to try golf. She's 14 and has never picked up a club to my knowledge. Any insights on junior programs around Austin, lessons, clinics, clubs or anything else that may get her interested without breaking the bank. Although I will say with the money flushed down the toilet for cheer related nonsense I may come out ahead!
  14. HA - those are perfect. Also added tells a horribly sad story and calls me a radical. We are thinking she gets most of it filled out today and will have to create a new card tomorrow.
