Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

If you were at Playland Skate Center last night, you may have seen us. Then again, if you blinked, you may have missed us! That's right, we were pure speed on 16 wheels and it was a blast from answering Chubby Checker's eternal question: How low can you go? to the black lights and fog machine. So Jack be limbo, Jack be quick... We'll be back for the limbo stick!

Library Raid!!

This week Domonic and I decided to have a good look around Faulk Central Library exploring all three floors including the large kids' section, the magazine and newspaper area and the over-sized books section. We took full advantage of the lovely library admiring the great view from the third floor and checking out a whole mess of books and movies including my first choice, Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking and Domonic's pick, the 2006 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.

The Circus is in Town!

For Domonic's birthday this year he said he wanted to go to the circus, so that's exactly what we did! It was hard to choose a favorite act, but the elephants and the motorcycles were real showstoppers... The acrobats and tigers were amazing too! It was a darn good time and Domonic is now twelve years old! Happy birthday!

A Soupie Excursion

Since Domonic and I both love cooking, I thought it might be fun to go check out a unique Austin operation called The Soup Peddler, my favorite local food delivery service. I thought perhaps we could get a tour of the facilities and learn a little about being an entrepreneur in Austin. Well, when I contacted them with the request, David Ansel, the soup magnate himself, offered to give us a tour and even invited Domonic to bring his bike and make deliveries with him! Very cool! Together they delivered soup to the Bouldin Creek neighborhood and even made a stop to see some beautiful peacocks and artwork. Afterwards Domonic and I cooled off with our favorite -- root beer floats from Sandy's. It was a well deserved treat!

Many thanks to everyone at The Soup Peddler!
