Red Pickups, Bison Bones & Second Chances

I had a clear idea about what I was going to write when I logged in. The perfect words presented themselves but now they're gone. It has to do with a bank deposit at the drive-thru, a red pickup and second chances. I can tell you this...

It's hard to see through tinted glass, especially when you're having trouble believing what you're seeing. I can be very slow on the uptake, in any case but I'm fairly certain that's obvious. If this sounds cryptic - that's because it is.

This evening was spent at the Wimberley City Council Meeting. It's now my job to cover the happenings that relate to city business so all those kinds of meetings are part of my beat. We had an enormous agenda so it went late. I can't believe I'm in this role and yet I'm loving it, really and truly. There's more developing there too. Details to follow...

In other news, I finished that feature article for Cedar Park Magazine. It led me to some incredible archaeological research and an interview with Dr. Michael Collins, the principal researcher on the Wilson-Leonard excavation.

From a writing perspective, the project was a structurally complex exercise - but that was my choice. I wrote it in a non-linear format with a bookend device to hold it together. Check out the next issue of Cedar Park Magazine. The Fascinating History of Cedar Park (by me) is the cover story.

I'm in the process of buying a classic, white 300E Mercedes Benz. She's very pretty and will be the only one of it's kind Wimberley I can almost guarantee. All the driving from Austin to Wimberley is getting old so I'll be moving closer to Wimberley as soon as I find the right space.

It's a great little town. Last night former mayor Steve Klepfer attended the city council meeting to ask the council to name the gate house of the newly dedicated Blue Hole Regional Park after the Way Family. When I asked him about his love for the community he said, "It's only town in America without adult supervision."
