Happy New Year and all that. I'm in Austin. Here's a view from my room. 
Hav and I decided to stay in a hotel most of the time in part because he's been sick. Damn the bug that's been going around. It's weird to come to Austin to get some rest, but that's been my prescription. Well that and a bunch of yoga.
So I can report that Austin feels like a mini-LA. Oh no. I suppose I'll go into more detail when I have the wherewithall.
Peace out.
