Adventures in Austin

Yesterday I traveled to Austin for Bethany's wedding. As we planned, I danced with Trisha. She seemed to keep interpreting my reluctance to dance as a reluctance to dance with her. The with her part was the best part. It's just that dancing evokes my longstanding and deeply ingrained fear of looking like a complete idiot.

But other than my dread of stepping on Trisha's toes, everyone enjoyed themselves. There are some new stories, but I'm not going to tell them. Or at least not in this forum.

The trip was also a convenient excuse to meet up with my friend Jason for lunch and hang out a bit before the wedding. When I'm playing Mario Kart against real people, a good finish for me is apparently anything other than dead last. I'm okay with that. We noticed a tendency for players with the neatest avatars to play relatively badly. You have to pick what you're going to put your time and effort in to. I know more contracts law than the first place finishers, as I kept reminding myself after every round.
