It's a great place to eat out, especially their
broccoli rice casserole, but don't take your American
Express card. And watch out for Janis Joplins ghost.

Aww. I got the warm fuzzies going on!
Sorry I was away for so long. After I was done fooling around on the California beaches, I had a new position to get used to. (Job, WER. The other positions aren't too difficult to adjust to!)

*cackle*
Well, Paul, the position you probably speak of is self contained ED (emotionally disturbed/disabled (blah blah!)) teacher. Eight boys with some pretty severe problems. They are all very angry, have been severely physically, sexually and mentally abused. A great bunch of kids with some strong aversion to authority and physical contact.
It's a challenge.

Well.
Exhausting but challenging.
And, of course, rewarding.

This was like a lateral move for you?
You're still at the same school?

what IS America food anyway?
Considering we are supposed to be a melting pot and all...
Is it fondue?

Hills (Bob Coles joint) is great for celebrating mayoral elections and meeting Kinky Friedman. Magnolia has awesome breakfasts. Z Tejas is impressive and a good place to take out of towners.
