This really says it all. My conversation with our food editor as we left the fair after walking around for 3 hot hours, sampling fried foods:

CP: "I feel sticky."

Food Ed: "I feel sticky on the inside."

It will be very hard to face the photo department without them.

Mei Chun (left), Richard (right), Erich, David and Walter---you WILL be missed. We love you.

Pics on the drive from Midland to Alpine. Before getting pulled over. Before the cops showed me the photo of the 7-foot 4-inch bull snake they had just found dead on the 2-lane highway. Before I got off with only a warning. Before I listened to this song:

Oh troubled heart
Always looking for release
Troubled mind
Wanting just to find some peace

The roads you choose now
Are but guides to show the way
So mark your path ahead of you
And take time to stray

We choose the life we make
Each hope and each mistake

You might not know you're home 'till you've landed
Fight as you may to understand it
When you let go of how you planned it
Your two feet may tell you where you're standing

Something happened last weekend that hadn't happened in a long time . . .]]> http://courtneyperry.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry080821-082959 Courtney Perry Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:29:59 GMT http://courtneyperry.com/pblog/comments.php?y=08&m=08&entry=entry080821-082959 http://courtneyperry.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry080819-153753



Driving back to Dallas from Austin. Just get into view of the skyline. See black smoke. Stop. A house fire. Thankfully, the 70-ish-year-old owner is not home, but I'm afraid he'll be quite sad when he gets there. Neighbors try to fight the blaze with garden hoses. A noble but futile effort.]]> http://courtneyperry.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry080819-153753 Courtney Perry Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:37:53 GMT http://courtneyperry.com/pblog/comments.php?y=08&m=08&entry=entry080819-153753 http://courtneyperry.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry080815-142218
