Changes and Today July 7th

I'm currently sitting in Summermoon Cafe, which makes their coffee using a wood fire process which dates back to whenever. It tastes pretty good and I think this will be one of my Cat Spots here in Austin.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the number of people I know who live here in Austin. Monday evening I met up with a fellow Chicagoan at the Spider House. He changed significantly and it made me happy to seem someone who left Chicago doing so well.

I also met up with a someone from high school whom I haven't seen in over six years. He couldn't remember why we had stopped talking in high school and I had to remind him we were suppose to go on a date and he stood me up hard-core and we just never really spoke after that.

Yesterday I joined him and his film buddies on hot day at Krauss Springs.

It is wonderful being able to appreciate people for who they are now, and not how we remembered them to be.
For the next few days I'm planning a Victorian excursion of Austin.

On the drive down I decided that I had to see a puppet show. Tomorrow at 2pm I will be attending a puppet show called "A Taradillo Tale."
I might have to put on my own puppet show. Annette Bellezzo I think you have to come to Austin to perform your musical.

My plans for the Victorian District excursion were postponed due to rain, along with the puppet show. There is always next week. It all worked out for the best. I was itching for some good vegetarian food and found this little place on the 6 th St called Amrosia Living Foods Cafe . It has wifi and I was in the mood to write and eat. Only one of those happened. The place was small and friendly. I asked to sit by an outlet and server told me a last minute presentation was about to happen and the outlet would be in use. I walked to the back of the restaurant and there I was talked into the getting the raw special: beet ravioli. Which was amazingly delicious and filling. Followed by raw baklava for desert. All the food served is gluten free. After finishing my meal I wasn't ready to leave so I asked what the presentation was about. Author Rhonda Spellman was discussing diet and nutrition in regards to treating autism . Also joining her was Dr. Lauren

Last night I enjoyed a wonderful meal at Andies on Montrose and Greenview. I sat outside amongst the couples and friends chatting away the time until the food arrived. A glass of Syrah and some pita bread kept me company. To the right of me an elderly man sat alone, we acknowledged each other's presence and the breeze the evening had to offer. The old man and young woman sat separately alone, with an air of confidence and satisfaction of not having to explain ourselves to anyone. The old man just wanted his meal, while the young woman fantasized about much more.I found my cat spot for the evening. Today I'm just about ready to take off. I have the option of going to see Brazilian Girls tonight at Soldier Field. After briefly thinking about it my mind was already set. Leave Chicago tonight! Not sure where I'm going but I'll take whatever comes my way, and have a good time.

Woke up with a taste of nostalgia. I haven't missed my mom in more than a while. It felt good to remember her. As I placed my amethyst earrings in their holes, I sighed a loud, "God I miss you Terri." To work at the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art is to be in a constant state of nostalgia. Not only from the stone sculptures of Chinese Dynasties, but also my grandfathers essence that haunts the place with his original office and library still intact. When I sit up front greeting guests and doing research, I yearn to hear grandpa Joe's voice call me into his office and give me something to do. Never met the man. Only see him every week in a stone portrait custom made in Florence, Italy as a tribute to his passing. The afternoon lingered. A woman came in. As I watched her sign the guestbook I thought to myself: I know this woman. Yes, it has to be her.   She approached the front desk. "Hi, I use to have one of the grandaughters in my class a while ba
