Austin Aquarium

I went to the Austin Aquarium today. If you go, they have a small walk in aviary with several Rainbow Lorikeets. They were so much fun. They wanted to check you out from shoestrings to ear lobes. They would play, dive and wrestle on the floor with each other. They were certainly worth the price of admission, along with all the sea creatures. 🙂

Happiness

I was listening to the radio on my way home the other day, and lucked into this NPR TED Radio Hour. Are you in search of more happiness? This researcher, Matt Killingsworth, would suggest to not let your mind wander. Instead, get lost in the moment. I am trying to focus more on the moment as a result. 🙂

The Hundred-Foot Journey

I guess this is movie weekend.  Some of my friends wanted to see The Hundred-Foot Journey and it turned out to be a good choice.  I really like the tag line in the poster “Life’s greatest journey begins with the first step”.  This is true for any challenge you face.  Go ahead and take that step if it is time.  🙂

Onion Dome

I am lucky to have this view several times a week. Downtown Georgetown is where I launch my long walks to the River and back. You can find me in the evenings sitting on a bench in the Georgetown Square, all sweaty and jamming to some music with my headphones in my ears. For some information on the history of the 113 year old building, check out the link below.
