The inspirational word of the day is “Strength”. Yes, I am guilty of hitting up the Art*o*mat again. The Little Inspirations series is a creation of Nicole Arnold. I was looking for an earth shattering inspiration, but will make do with this simple one. This one is appropriate for me since I sat through some more crazy dental procedures today. I will need some strength for the next few days as the pain slowly subsides. 
Before the sun began to set and the cold temperatures hit, I took a walk through Mueller. This sculpture called “Pollen Grain” by Chris Levack has always been one of my favorites. You can walk beneath it on the trail if you select the right path.
I attended an event today at the Genesis Presbyterian Church, and there was an awesome, colorful tree out in the front yard just beneath the steeple.
Whose idea was it to put this lovely place just down from the 24 Hour Fitness? Andy’s Frozen Custard is a most awesome establishment! Just take a look at the menu. My selection today was the Triple Chocolate Concrete – “Chocolate frozen custard blended with chocolate chip cookie dough and melted chocolate chip.” Yummy.
At the beginning of the year, I was checking out the typical lists for best Apps of 2015. One game, Star Wars Uprising, was included on many of the lists. I tried it out and got hooked. If you are a fan of Star Wars, give this one a try. It is free, simple in concept, playable on a mobile device, and seems to have a good storyline backing it up. Enjoy!
It worked! I had a membership to a 24 Hour Fitness club in Round Rock that was classified as a “Sport” club. In the process of reviewing my budget (thanks Mint App) and checking prices online, I discovered that the current rate at the “Super Sport” Club in Pflugerville was less than what I was paying. I didn’t think they would allow me to switch, but the groovy folks in Pflugerville were able to hook me up. So now, I have a membership that allows me to use both clubs for a much lower monthly fee. This will be an improvement for my budget and an improvement for my physique (if I can get to the gym on a regular basis). I am totally excited about today’s bargain!
There are some crazy, crude Quentin Tarantino scenes in this film. If you are a fan of his, you will enjoy this movie.
Hey y’all – it worked! I just got the e-mail today. I added a lot of cool content to Google Maps (and it was kind of fun) and they rewarded me with 1 TB of storage. Now I can totally blow up my Google Photos account. If you are interested, check out my previous blog post or check out the description of the benefits for Local Guides. I hope they offer the program in your part of the world. Like I said before, if you find yourself on the way to becoming an awesome Local Guide and getting rewards, you can thank me later. 🙂
Yippee! Cooper’s BBQ is coming to Downtown Austin. They aren’t totally open yet, but the lounge area upstairs is having a soft opening and serving bar food and drinks. I tried the Slider Trio and the baked potato and all was wonderful. When they do open (hopefully soon), they will have a serving line where you make your selections right off the grill. The restaurant is a combination of two old buildings and in addition to the lounge upstairs, they will have large indoor and outdoor seating areas downstairs. I am anxiously awaiting the grand opening so we can have another excellent BBQ joint in Austin.
