It is spring, right?
Yesterday, March 20th, the first day of spring. Yes, it is spring.
It was hard to notice. I barely watched basketball as I spent most of the weekend (still in Texas) tearing down a VMWare-based system and rebuilding it. The world keeps building faster computers, networks, and communications systems, and it still takes a huge amount of time to move stuff around because y'all (I am under the influence of Texans) keep making and saving more data.
I did get to finally meet Brian Towle last night, and he took me on a short tour around AT&T Stadium and that other one where they play Major League Baseball. Then there's a big ol' Walmart right next to them that was constructed in the same fashion as the baseball stadium. Cute, Texas.
On the way home I wanted to take my brother's VW Passat and run it up to 120-140 mph just to see if I could but I didn't because I am old (or something).
Unfortunately, I missed some wild tourney action.
