howdy, pad'ner!

greetings from austin, texas!

i'm out here for work - for the austin games conference (and the women in games "pre-conference"). we rolled into town last night, and was greeted by perfect, dry weather. not too hot, not too cold.

they have an awesome bike/running path around the river here, that reminds me a LOT of the esplanade back in boston. i went for a 4 mile loop last night before dinner, and while i was running on it, i got to watch several crews row by (mostly singles, a few eights). seeing them, as well as all the people that were out with their dogs and friends, made me really miss ol' beantown.

the esplanade was my favorite thoroughfare for running. heck, the charles river was my second home. i probably spent more time on that water than i did any where else (not including where i lived, of course).

anyways - we're off to get some breakfast now, and then it's gamesgamesgames for the next 3 days!

(ps. if anyone knows where to get cowboy boots sorta near downtown austin, speak up!)
