This book is a fast read. The story follows the movie, but provides a little more detail. If you just can’t get enough of the latest story from Star Wars, then pick this one up and give it a go.

The Music Run
The Travis County Expo Center has a nice hilltop view of downtown Austin. The following set of photos will let you know what it is like to participate in the Music Run. Me and my bad knee cheated and walked the course tonight. This is a wonderful event and you should join in if it shows up in your town. My only regret was that I didn’t get a better photo of the Left Shark. I showed up early, had lots of fun, and was one of the last people to leave.
Chinese New Year Celebration
The Chinese New Year Celebration in Chinatown Center was fun. My favorite performance was Draiku Aerial. They were mesmerizing. I also took the opportunity to walk around and stop in at two of my favorite places – Pho Saigon for steamed rice with charbroiled sliced pork, and Short and Sweet for Thai iced tea with pearls.
Moon Ring
Going out into the world tonight and the sky was displaying a pretty cool moon ring. My photographs didn’t capture all of the majesty there was to behold.
Pluckers Wing Bar
Pluckers is a good place to hang out with your coworkers for happy hour. My beer of choice today was the Revolver Blood & Honey. It is defined on their website as “An unfiltered deep golden ale made with malted two row barley and wheat. The brew is finished with Blood Orange zest, local Fall Creek Farms Honey and other spices that bring special flavors to this unique beer.” I recommend it – especially on the patio in wonderful weather.
Want Sunsets?
I keep getting out of work after dark. It is not fun. At the latest, I should be catching the sunset. So now, I am using Periscope to catch the rising or setting sun. Like this person above who was Periscoping while driving in Russia. Thanks for sharing your awesome sun event with the world! The most recent Periscope feature adds a live, moving curve that defines the dark part of the world versus the light part of the world on the map view. If only I could get out of work early enough to see the light side of things…
Deadpool
Not the best Marvel movie
“Maximum effort!”
Shower Curtain Liner
Target. Because sometimes you need a new shower curtain liner.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day! I found some roses for y’all as I walked along Congress Avenue today.
USA Rugby
In one of the best transformations ever, Dell Diamond changed from a baseball field to a rugby pitch. USA Rugby showed up and outdueled the team from Canada in a hard-fought match in perfect weather conditions in Central Texas. Let’s hope they do this sort of thing more often, as rugby is a most interesting and enjoyable sport to watch live.
