Although beautifully colored, this fish was too fast for photos. I had to take my car to the shop this morning, and this guy was hanging out in the waiting room. His mission was that of destruction. He wasn’t happy with his current environment, so he decided to change things one rock at a time. In the top photo, you can see where he has dug a hole in the aquarium all the way to the bottom and upended some plants along the way. He would swoop in, pick up a rock in his mouth, and then swim over to the side and spit it out. He was a nonstop blur of rock transplantation. :-O

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.
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.

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.
