In what has become an annual trip, I was in Dallas this past Friday - Monday visiting my friend Jeff. We've known each other since age 14 but it's been these trips where we spend a few days together that really cement things. I stay at his home, he takes a little time off work and other responsibilities - it's a special time.
We did the River Cities Triathlon in Shreveport, actually in the Cypress Black Bayou Park. If that sounds very Louisiana, then you're right, it is. I finished this year in 2:00 which was good on a borrowed bike. Sure beat the driving up from last year. Flying was a good way to go.
We stayed at our friend Joe's house. He had a full house - his family (3) plus Jeff, Greg, Heidi, Richard and Lisa. Plus 2 dogs, Shakey and Findley. We had a nice cookout after the race - eating at home is always a good way to go. We had to stop for pie - Richards' choice and it was very Southern Living. Ed would have like it a lot.
Dinner Sunday night was at the Outback. I lived large with steak, shrimp, mac & cheese, chopped salad and topped it off with cake at home from the bridal shower that Brittany gave while we were gone.
Today Jeff and I had lunch with his mom. Always fun to see her and him. Great 4 days. Now, back home for a bit and then we go to Austin for Larry's award banquet. Should be great.
