Out of the box costume for Boxing Day

Our friend Kate can be counted on for a festive costume at her parties.

Dip buffet for Boxing Day

This holiday party featured a dip buffet -- which we heartily enjoyed. They had make-your-own Frito Chili Pies as well. Always fun to visit at other folks' houses.

Austin icon at the Bazaar

Here you see Eddie Wilson, the former owner of the Armadillo World Headquarters, touting and selling his book by the same name at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar. He co-wrote it with Jesse Sublett.

A blast from the past

Here's a look at the Armadillo Beer Garden, from around the time Linda and I were dating back in the mid-1970s.

More jazz! Holy smoking!

I caught this shot the other night at Church on Monday, with Eli Haslinger on sax wailing away.

Accident waiting to happen

The photo says it all. If this truck backs up, one less scooter. Hallelujah!

All that jazz

Always fun to hear our friends play at Parker Jazz Club. That's the owner of the club on tenor sax.
