These are my type of life decisions. Eat the pizza buffet, including those awesome chocolate chip dessert pizzas, before going to swim laps at the gym. Super healthy!

Zilker Brewing Company
Zilker Brewing Company has a Tap Room on East Sixth Street in downtown Austin. I stopped in for a taste before boarding my train to get home since they are located within a short walk of the Plaza Saltillo train station. My selection was the Honey Saison – a Belgian style ale. I will have to stop by again when I have more time to relax and try some more of their beers.
Train Encounters
I decided to take the train downtown tonight. It put me close to the event I was going to attend, but I still had some walking to do in the cold, windy weather. As I made my way around on the East side, I met the train again at a crossing. It was a night of train encounters. 🙂
Chasing Shades
Those days when you get out of work just in time to hurry off and try to catch the sunset and take a quick trail walk in the dark. And while you are photographing shades of purple, why not throw in a Purple Rita from Baby Acapulco?
Boxes 3 & 6
In the Community Garden (boxes number 3 and 6), the flowers are blooming.
Strength
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. 
Pollen Grain
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.
Leaves and Steeple
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.
Andy’s Frozen Custard
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.
Llano Llounge
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.
