Turth

Wherever in the Universe you go, there's...pizza. Truth. Another wall behind the Brick Oven.

Yes they do!

Dog lovers speak out. Saw this on the side of a vehicle the other day.

Election night

Linda and I decided to go check out the election night at some bars around town. Here she is at The Headliners Club. The only other table had already decamped for a victory party.

Big burger -- and fries

A lunch mate had this massive burger at Cenote the other day. We had just gotten through with taping a podcast for a friend. I don't know how you'd get your mouth around this one. Luckily, they provided a knife and fork!

Truffle tots, yes, truffle tots

Yes, the old and the new -- tater tots with truffle oil. We love them. Another shot from Dirty Martin's.

BLT-- old-fashioned and just right

We went to lunch at Dirty Martin's the other day and Linda ordered this delicious bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. I want to try that one myself next time.

Chicken Paillard

Yes, well, I love this dish at June's All Day. Some of the best Chicken Paillard we have ever eaten.

Beet salad -- hard to beat

I was out lunching with a friend the other day and she ordered this beautiful beet salad.

Retro stockings

I loved these stylish stockings at the Terrence McNally party the other night.

Your blogging crew at Terrence McNally's birthday party

Star-struck

Blogger Forrest and Broadway performer Christy Altomare. She is currently starring as Anya in "Anastasia."

John-Boy and Terrence McNally

We attended the 80th birthday party for Terrence McNally at Zach Theatre here in town a few days ago. Here you see actor Richard Thomas who some of you might remember from "The Waltons," with Terrence.

Quite a lineup

Here is a shot I took at the Birthday Party for Terence McNally the other night. Do you see Chita Rivera in the shot next to Terrence? Also Michael Learned and Richard Thomas, who played "John Boy" on The Waltons.

Anima

I confess that all I know about this photo is that it was found in my shots after a walk around South Lamar. Do you ever take a photo and not remember doing it or exactly where you were?

And now Free!

Scooters have overtaken Austin and now Uber has added incentive of FREE to the mix. These things are everywhere and threaten us on sidewalks and in crosswalks and risk their own life and limb in the street by running lights and stop signs.

Writer worship

We got front row seats for Susan Orlean's presentation at the Texas Book Festival. She talked about her latest book, The Library Book. That is her on the left. The lady in green is Elizabeth McCracken, also a fine writer, who was Susan's moderator.

That's us on the left, with two of our tablemates at the Texas Book Festival gala.

We went to the Texas Book Festival's gala a few days ago and this was one of the pretty floral arrangements on display at the silent auction.

Water, water everywhere

We had a drinking water crisis in Austin and stores were offering bottled water at low prices, as a public service. Trader Joe's pitched in here.

Castaway clothing

We saw this perfectly good top just laying on the bushes along South Congress the other day. You wonder what happened here.

Theme Day - Friend

The theme for November 1 is "Friend." I couldn't think of a better photo for that concept than this one of us sitting on our couch right after we got married over 42 years ago. And yes, we are still best friends. It will will be fun to see what our fellow bloggers around the world post for their interpretation of this theme.
