Fessing up
Apparently no one fell for my fox story. That is part of the challenge of trying to use the same April Fool’s joke every year. My mother called me on April 1 and the first thing I asked her was, “Was she calling about that fox in the yard?” We both laughed. This year, I [...]

Weird Happenings
There’s a common slogan around town, “Keep Austin Weird”, and we’ve had a couple of incidents lately that really show how weird Austin can be!

Picking up where we left off.
When I last posted, I had just finished cleaning up the Cross Eyed Kat office closet.

Look Ma, a new post!
Here begins my new Turkey-Day resolution to post more to the blog. I also resolve that I don’t have to have long, meaningful posts, just as long as the posts are not banal and microscopic. Hopefully, this means that there will be more reading material and more to say in general. It has been so [...]
