Order of Battle

I'm taking a business trip to Austin, Texas next week. I've been to 46 of the 50 states, but not Texas yet. (Well, I have changed planes in Dallas once in 1995, but that hardly counts: I was in the airport the whole time and didn't even breathe real air!)

Given this background, what, do you imagine, was the first thing I did after buying my plane tickets? Did I look online for historical or cultural attractions, museums, local music venues, or exotic dining choices?

Nope.

I do, however, have a Google map of all the yarn stores within a 20-mile radius of my hotel.

(And in case you're wondering: Alaska, Arkansas, Oregon, and Texas.)
