I took defensive driving a while ago, but forgot to<br \/>\nsend off for my driving record.  All the paperwork is due in court tomorrow, so that meant going to Austin to pick up the record in person.<\/p>\n<p>So, after sleeping for about 3.5 hours in Huntsville Sunday, driving Ed to the airport at 5:30am, taking a 45 minute nap on the side of the road between<br \/>\nHuntsville and Birmingham, sleeping for an hour on the flight back to Houston, and taking a 1.5 hour nap once I got home, I drove to Austin.  Got into town just<br \/>\nin time to sing with the <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.io.com\/~st_david\/compline\/compline.htm\">St. David&#8217;s Compline Choir<\/A> for their 9pm service: plainsong, sarum,<br \/>\nGregorian chant&#8230;I love singing that stuff.  Then went over to the <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.counciloffive.com\/\">Behemolith<\/A> and ate chicken wings with JP and<br \/>\nGeorge, talked with John and Holly, and looked at the heavens through George&#8217;s mondo telescope.  Was up til 1 talking, then stayed up another hour entering blog<br \/>\nitems (see below). <\/p>\n<p>Got up at 8, breakfasted with JP at <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.digitalcity.com\/austin\/entertainment\/venue.dci?vid=177306\">the Omelettry<\/A>, which I am afraid I can no<br \/>\nlonger recommend (higher prices, had to ask for real cream instead of the CoffeeMate on the table, only one refill on coffee, which also had to be requested).<br \/>\nStopped by the Texas Heart Hospital and visited with Lee Chilton, one of my freshman advisers, who is now a cardiologist and daddy, but still a committed cyclist<br \/>\n(he once rode Beer-Bike with a broken foot). Lunched with Mark Mellon-Werch on the UT campus, where we ran into PJ Abrams, an old MOB SA buddy.<\/p>\n<p>Stopped by JJ Baskin&#8217;s office at <A HREF=\"HTTP:\/\/www.sedl.org\">SEDL<\/A> to deliver a baby present only 9 months late and visited with him for a bit before<br \/>\ndriving back home.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you whom I missed this trip, I apologize.  I&#8217;ll catch ya next time. I am now tired.  I think I shall sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a ticket for allegedly running a red light back in September (it was broken, but what can you do).
