Life is a Bumpy Road

Austin, Texas. Travel in Texas. Life in General. "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - - -Dylan Thomas

Name:
Location: Austin, Texas, United States

I am an esteemed alumni of Austin College in Sherman Texas (Class of "none of your business"). I graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts as a History Major. Subsequently, I have worked in the human services field since graduation because there aren't too many jobs out there for history majors. Except for my short incarceration in Sherman, I have always lived in Austin, Texas. That's not totally true, I was born in England and lived there approximately 18 months, but for some strange reason I don't remember living there. I travel through out Texas for my job, every week. So beware Texans, I might be coming to a town near you!! I am happily married to a wonderful guy and have 0 (zero, zilch) children. (We just forgot to have them?) I find life amusing now (I used to find it extremely depressing but that's another story). So here's to Life, which after all can be a very bumpy road!

Houston's Not SOOOOO Bad

After coming to Houston for a few years now, I finally found an area of the city I really like. I can actually get a hotel on Westheimer near the Galleria that is close to almost any place I am working in the metropolitan Houston area. This area is very "high dollar" which is interesting. I can gawk at the rich people and still do my job. I don't go into the "chi chi" places that are the top of the line, super bucks, expensive. I don't think I have the "look" to get into those stores. But I do go into the charming boutiques, cafes and shops stuck in between or on the outskirts of this area. There are some terrific sights in this area of town and it is so centrally located you can get nearly anywhere without too much hassle. That is comparatively speaking of course. Houston is so huge and has so much traffic that it's time consuming to go anywhere. But because it is so big, it has great museums and exhibits all the time. I think I may grow to like this city a little. We shall see as time goes by. So for all those Houstonians that I have insulted in the past, I just want to say..."I'm sorry. I may have been wrong."
