Hey Spearmonkey! We got about eight weeks left, I think. I feel like a bridezilla. Thanks for asking. I'll put up some pictures. How's everything going
with you? How's business? Better than mine, I hope. Original comment »

Reply from spear:
Business on the high tech side is still down at the company I consult with. It hasn't affected my income as I get a draw based on time in the office but it
affects the ability to get additional bonuses from new business I generate. The aesthetic business I built up over the last few years and turned over to the
wife is still growing. No slowdown for it. Docs need to have cash flow and we provide it.
Other than that , we are just enjoying life in Austin Texas...a blue dot in a red state.
Cin, missed replying back on your last message.
I saw the mall work when I was tooling down I-12 into the area. That mall was such a dump, it needed a sprucing up. The one they built down by the Goodbee (?)
exit seems to have sucked some energy out of it.
Austin is a very different place than Toula/Hammond. You can't get shrimps on the roadside but you can get great breakfast tacos. My kids have a very
differnt public school experience: the minorities are Asian and Indian kids who push the academics. You don't get beat up in the school yard, you get beat
up in the classroom on grades.
We do miss our friends and the friendly people in the area. Despite its near 3rd world status, Looosiannna is a great place to live. We hope Jindal can
ressurect it so we can move back after retirement.
Hey Cin, I was back in the hood at Thanksgiving. Visited w/ friends over at Neill Corp . My daughter is living w/ us in Austin after 2 years of partying at
SLU. We will make a trip this summer to visit family.
City Council is great! We just did our prioritizing session and all of my campaign platform is right up there on the top of the pile! Life is good :) See you
on the boards, I'm sort of figuring stuff out...

We're heading up on the 16th for a bit of skiing. Well I'm heading up for drinking while the kids ski. I sold my 4x4 and and have heard the road
back in to our place has reverted somewhat to it's natural state after the heavy rains. Let's hope we don't get stuck. Original comment »

It's very slow in the finance biz this time of year, but that is typical of Jan & Feb..
They're coming along nicely on the new mall in Hammond, so we're excited about that!
Austin is a little different than this neck of the woods, hmm? lol
