It's beautiful outside, sixty three degrees and blue skies. Unseasonably beautiful weather. I just stepped outside and saw a brilliant green lizard, which made me think of Melynda. This weather makes me wish I had a screen door, or that the cat could be persuaded not to venture outside, as I want to open the door.

Xplay with with Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb is the best thing on television.

They showed the trailer for Darkwatch, and that game looks so so so cool. A cowboy vampire killing zombies! Rock!

The Austin Motel. For those of you who might have seen this lovely hotel in my city. Take a look at that sign, and you shall see why we call it the Penis Motel. That was on the cover of the phone book one year, prompting much hilarity. It's a pretty place, and an excellent place to stay if you're visitng Austin.

Smarty Jones won the Preakness today and set a new record for the largest margin of victory, a record unbroken since the very first race in 1873. It was incredible. He came around that final turn and just when I jumped out of my chair and shouted "Run, run!" at the television, he went flying. You could see some of the other horses turn up the speed, but Smarty Jones just flew. It was amazing.

Our friendly neighborhood liquor store guys are remodelling the store, making more room and tearing up the old carpet. They are having a hell of a time with the crappy glue that was used to stick it on the concrete. I did see some of the tile they are considering, so I hope the glue comes off. We bought some port, and the makings of chocolate martinis. Life is pretty good.
