Back in Kerry Country
Posted on Friday, March 11th, 2005 at 1:15.
I am back from an amazing visit with Arthur’s family in San Antonio, TX. Boston was kind enough to greet me with a wintery mix upon return.
This was my first and last trip on Northwest Airline. The cheap fare is not worth full flights, rickety planes, my knees rubbing the seat in front of me, lack of V8 juice, and no vent or air conditioning on the first flight.
The trip overall provided much needed relaxation and an opportunity to catch up on all the sleep I missed during mid-terms. I saw Cursed and wished I hadn’t. I ate at so many restaurants and can understand why San Antonio is one of the fattest cities. Arthur and I cruzed roof down in his mom’s Thunderbird. I bought a few cheap Tex-Mex souvenirs at El Mercado. Because I was with Arthur’s family, I also had the unique experiences of attending a color guard competition and the opening of a renovated hospital wing. Life is random. Enjoy the uncertainty. (I promise that the iPod Shuffle has only had a little influence on my life outlook.)

Oh, no doubt. I’m sure you made it to the Riverwalk at least a couple of times. We have our music educators’ convention down there every February, and if it weren’t for all the walking around, I’d gain a good fifty pounds during those four days (and from the looks of some of my colleagues in the industry, they evidently have done this :-) ).
