Well, folks, I have a lot to say, but I’m tired so I’ll keep it skinny:

1. I’m back in Austin for 2 weeks (starting yesterday and leaving on the 30th).  Re-entry is great and weird (more on this later, too).   Why am I back now?  Because my very dear friends just had a beautiful baby boy and they all are in need of some serious support.  In between visiting the little one in the NICU and doing whatever these two amazing people need, I’d love to catch up.  So, I’ll be a few places over the next two weeks and hope you can join me:  Bill’s Singer-Songwriter deal at The Crow Bar on 4/18, Eeyore’s bday party on the 28th, Early Voting on the 30th (you know I had to!) and Barton Springs, Lady Bird Lake and eating my way through Austin with *you* between now and then.  My phone is on, so give me a jingle, willya?
2. D is continuing on with Will and I am so confident in their abilities to move from Inagua, The Bahamas to Port Antonio, Jamaica safe and sound.  It should be about a two-day trip, I’ll meet them there in two weeks and I look forward to a grand tour of ‘de Island, mon before heading south to Panama.  You can track their progress here.
3. Last, but definitely not least:  I’m THRILLED to be a finalist for the Amble Resorts Island Intern contest.  So.excited.  There’s more to come on this front but for now let me just say: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone who voted & shared in this adventure with me; your support means more than words can say.  Special thanks to Amble Resorts for believing in my potential and wanting to know more – the feeling is mutual 🙂

love, love, love
