The Week Gone By....
By the way....I'm back from a conference in Nashville, TN. I left for TN on the 6th and and was back in Austin on the 10th. I had 2 poster presentations which went well. The lectures bored me to death except for a select few which I really found interesting. Every alternate night (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) was spent in the bar attached to the hotel (The Grand Opryland Hotel) and this was really nice with some real good live music. Also when hungry late at night,and when all the hotel restaurants were closed, realized that 'Waffle House is a 24hr place, and the stuff you get there is pretty good! So Waffle house is now on the top on the breakfast list. Basically its 'Sasta-Sunder-Tikau' :-) Overall it was a nice and exhaustive week. Loved it :-)
Then Sunday I was driving south on Mopac, and the weather was just right! Partly couldy an partly sunny. As I went further south came across the exit for Highway 71 West, leading to Llano, Texas which is an old, small town with population of roughly 3000. The drive to Llano as I had read about it was sceninc and so just went on to take the 71 West exit and went on for 75miles before I reached Llano. The drive lived upto its description and thus thoroughly enjoyed it. I just love these random decisions that I take and feel good even more when they work out as expected or even better.
