“Racing Will”
Lots of work this week for K and D. We were both so worn out at the end of the day that we didn’t do much in the evenings either. I did drag Diana over to the Hyatt on Tuesday night just to get her out of the apartment for a little while.
All my excitement came vicariously from my boys. Campbell and his crew traveled to Chicago last Sunday to watch Nick Bawden play for the Lions against the Bears. That’s the trio of Cameron, Campbell, and Grady in the middle – friends since they were in kindergarten.
Doesn’t it look freezing cold? Campbell said the wind was blowing directly in their faces at these elevated seats.
Will was checking off one of his “life goals” around the same time. He spent the weekend getting track driving lessons in his new BMW M2 competition (rated Road and Track #2 car of the year – behind what? – the 911 of course) and loved every minute of it. He got lots of great photos and I enjoy zooming in to see the concentration on his face.
The stitches came out of my finger on Wednesday and things are healing up nicely. I’m even able to change the dressing solo now. After that excitement we made the drive up to McKinney in the afternoon.
The weekend was quiet also with a lot of work interruptions for me. I’m watching the Cowboys playing the Lions as I write this post. It’s an evenly matched game so far and fun to see Nick Bawden on TV. Campbell must be torn about who to support.
When the game finishes, we’ll make the drive to Austin and are planning on watching the start of the new season of “The Crown” on Netflix when we arrive.
What a great album cover – Elvis Costello and the Attractions “Armed Forces”. Anne texted me this picture from the Costello concert in New Orleans. Her friend, Margaret, is a huge fan and you can tell they have very good seats. This reminded me of the album Costello made with Allen Toussaint after Katrina.
Sticking in New Orleans, I was listening to Luke Winslow King this weekend and came across this gem. I love his guitar playing.
I’ll finish up with JM Stevens from Austin. Wish we had reserved enough energy for his album release show at the Continental Club last week.
