Not much, what's gnu with you?

Took a week's vacation last week. I wanted to drive up to meet locknestra, but funds were not sufficient to do so. So instead I drove to Dallas for a few days. I had a great time catching up with jcello over lunch at El Chico (mmm), and worked on some theater stuff for Mom.

Then on Wednesday I drove to Little Rock and visited the Clinton Presidential Center. It's smaller than the Bush Library, and is set in a narrow, ugly three-story building along the riverfront in downtown Little Rock.

So I've now been to the Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Clinton libraries. Five down, 11 to go.

I stayed overnight in Jackson, Mississippi, and Thursday drove the Natchez Trace Parkway to Natchez. The final segment of the Parkway around Jackson is now complete, as are the southernmost 8 miles heading into Natchez. It's as gorgeous a drive as ever.

So, onward to New Orleans for lunch, and back to Houston on Thursday night.

In other news: My improv troupe is going to be performing in the Dallas Comedy Festival! Come and see us if you're in the area!

Back to work tomorrow.
