A song on the radio with the lyrics “Oh Lord I wish John Stetson made a heart instead of a hat.”

On the road again. This time headed for Austin, Texas, on another work project.

I’m really looking forward to seeing Texas again after our roadtrip from Houston to Big Bend to Marfa last year. I’m expecting tasty barbecue, great live music and lots of big hats.

If this work assignment is similar to the last one in England there won’t be too much spare time. But I do intend to make the most of it, and to find out why the city’s unofficial motto is “Keep Austin Weird.”
