- Friends.
- This is a special edition of One or More Things I Did Today
- Had a lot of fun on this here day.
- Made it down to lovely and meat-markety Barton Springs. But before all this, I went for a run on the hike and bike trail, something I did but not once when I actually lived in Austin (for 20-some-odd years). Hot! And invigorating.
- Upon return to Barton Springs, a dip I had.
- A perfect plan: I'm able to get some exercise, get some sun, and clean up with a shower before dinner appointment.
- But not just any shower...
- A shower in the fabled (for me) men's quarters at Barton Springs.
- Quarters which can be described as "European".
- Which is to say, visiting this place as a youth virtually guaranteed a bushel of giggles.
- Which is to say, lots of old naked dudes.
- An old naked dude is something I aspire to be one day.
- But for now, I'll have to settle for being just a naked dude.
- Wow, just thinking about this day. Lot going on.
- About this time, I wrapped up things at the Spring, stopped by Flipnotics to feed this insatiable gorilla that is the WIDWINW blog, and headed to Barley Swine to meet my buddy.
- Pete Olah. Champion of Hungary, Pride of HomeAway, And Soon to Be Married (congrats, Pete!). Also noteworthy, for the purposes of this blog: dear friend. Also, Texas 4000 Brother in Arms.
- Barley Swine? An epicurean delight. Pete's done it again!
- We part ways, and Dani and I head to Ky and Sue's for some Tuesday night climbing.
- Tuesday night climbing?
- The Harkey's have climbing holds on three walls of their dirt-floored garage.
- That night, we sip beers, guffaw, and watch our pals cling and swing. A particularly noteworthy chat with Sue, and Ky burns the midnight oil with us into the low hours.
- Wonderful.
- Picture of the day*:
He didn't remember falling asleep in this position.
Feel free to use this pic in your wedding thank you cards, Pete.
As they say, "It was a Day".
*Dang, y'all! Two PoTD for the price of one!!!!1!!!!&
