Mark in Austin at the Tacco Express

Ever heard of the expression "Keep Austin Wierd?" One of the places that lives up to this motto is the Tacco Express on South Congress. On Sunday at noon and some evenings, there is live music. Today's music was a gospel and blues group. Some people dress up in things like tutus feather boas and dance. That includes men as well as women. Sometimes people show up dressed to the nines while most go casual or off beat. If you go, you will fit right in.

Mark has been busy since getting to Austin. He has been to the Veteran's Hosp. in Houston twice and has to go again. He has cooked brisket in the smoker, brought the swimming pool back to blue from an ugly algae green, been working on healthy living from eating healthy to exercise and has cared for the yard. Another trip to the VA for an MRI is scheduled for next week. You might want to pray (or send good energy Mark's way) that his test results are good.

Life in Thailand
Soon I will put something more on this blog about life in Thailand.

Hi Mark,

My name is Alan Miyamoto and I live in League City, Tx. I'm a friend of Stephanie's and at one time thought I might end up being your Brother in Law! [You'll have to ask her why this didn't happen ;') ]

I just came back from a work trip to Austin, during which we ate at Taco Express for lunch. Seeing your pics reminded me of the great meal we had there. Next trip back I plan on eating at Green Mesquite BBQ, which I saw on the way.

I've been following your recovery through your mom's blog and FB postings by Stephanie. The photos are always great, and the descriptions always paint such a vivid picture. I hope for your continued recovery, and that your future holds no more set backs for you.

Best Wishes-

Alan
