My Unanticipated and Extended Vacation

A quick update
Thank goodness for free Internet at Scholotzky's! Almost makes me feel better about the huge amount of fat in those sandwiches! (They're good though!) Anyway I'll make it brief because I only have about 20 minutes left on my laptop battery.

Just some random thoughts:
- Is it just me or does everyone eat worse when they're visiting other people? Since I've been in Austin I've really wanted to try that new hamburger at Dairy Queen with the chili, cheese and fritos in it! NIIIIICE!
- Colorado's going down tomorrow afternoon. I'm predicting Texas by about 20. Should be fun - look for me on television - I'll be the one 15 rows from the top of the stadium wearing orange.
- I got my new car yesterday. It's a little bit of a reality check to remind yourself that unlike the past vehicles you've received as sales cars, this one's being paid out of my pocket - so leather seats, mp3 players, rear spoilers, air conditioned seats, etc, are no longer essential items. (This non-Ford life is gonna be harder than I expected!)
- Anyone not in Austin right now needs to get down here now. It's clear, sunny, about 75 degrees and absolutely the best weather in the world. I tell everyone that for about six weeks out of the year, we have the best climate known to man.
Alright, that's enough. I'll be back next week, and hopefully I'll have some new ideas for the site so that the three of you who check it (:D) will have a reason to keep coming back!

How was your prediction?

The trick with the weather, I think, would be to find a series of places around the world that have the perfect weather (not too hot, not too cold, preferably sunny or the occasional bit of cloud to provide variation and something to talk about) one after the other, and spend a few weeks in each before moving on... It's at times like this that a private jet or yacht come in very handy :)

The prediction wasn't that far off - I changed it to 44-17 right before gametime, and we won 44-17, so I was pretty close. But unfortunately it wasn't the prediction of record.
