I flew to Dallas on Sunday night. The flight was as good as a four hour flight in coach can be. I sat next to a pair of russians who were going to Salt Lake City. They didn’t speak to me, which is fine because I just wanted to be left alone to read my book anyway.

When I picked up my car they wanted to give me a big ol’ SUV, which declined. They said they were sold out of mid-sized sedans and offered me a pickup truck in lieu. I said “no” to that too so they managed to round up a 2008 Sebring Convertible.

HOT!

What an excellent car! I have an old 2000 Sebring convertible and the new one is in a whole other class from my current transportation.

For the last couple of evenings I’ve taken it out just to drive it around a little.  Compared to snowy new england spring is looking pretty great in Dallas.  I tried to get to the Dallas Arboretum today before they closed the gates, but I wasn’t in time.  It took me about an hour to get there from Addison, Tx and they were already closing up when I arrived.  The book depository in Dallas closes long before I can get there.  I was thinking about going to the Fort Worth Stockyards.  They’re supposed to have the worlds largest honky tonk.  If I had someone to go with it might be fun, but I’m not sure I wan to spend all that time and effort getting over there just to feel uncomfortable and drive home, you know?

I spent the last couple of nights working and watching television.  Its been pretty quiet here.

Class has been good.  I’ve been learning the stuff I came for and that’s worth a lot.  I’m excited about getting back to work and getting things set up so I can put my new talents to work.
