Last night a cool front blew through, giving us the perfect Texas fall day: Brilliant blue sky, bright sunshine, dry air in the 70s, and a breeze that rustled the trees. This is the day the Chamber of Commerce should bottle for when businesses with an eye for moving to Texas come calling.
And the Rangers are in the World Series, though I'm starting to get a nagging feeling that the Cardinals are this year's Team of Destiny(TM), a team that's not as good on paper, but gets hot at the right time, gets some clutch performances from middlin'-to-average players, and pulls it out. (See Giants, 2010 and Cardinals, 2006.) But Texas has been fairly hot, too. I will root for the home state team, but do it very nervously.
And I should mention the fun time I had weekend before last, getting together with my old friend Matt Forbeck, who was in town for the Game Developer's Conference Online. Matt organized via Twitter a party at the Cedar Door, a fine downtown dining and drinking establishment, and we got caught up on all sorts of stuff both family and professional. Also got to talk to Allen Varney, Jesse Scoble, and a few more first-name-only folks. And I discovered the Cedar Door's signature libation, the delicious, potent, and expensive Mexican Martini, sort of a margarita on steroids. Yum.
