Save The Date: Welcome back to Texas party!

UPDATE: This day isn't going to work. How about this one instead?
Jess and I planning to host a "Welcome back to Texas" party. If the going away party wasn't without enough purpose, this one will be filled with even less, and, in my mind, that makes it even better.

I need some spare muscles

If you're not doing anything tomorrow around noon-ish I could really use a hand picking up a piece of furniture at a place near my house and bringing it home. It's not all that heavy, just a bit too awkward for me to lift alone and Jess is a bit too pregnant to help.

The Tollway, baby!

After many months of anticipation, the Dallas North Tollway has finally reached US-380. This means that after a 3-mile drive from my house, I am on the Tollway.
