Years ago I lived briefly in Austin, before becoming a Mudcatter. While I was here I had my will and documents written. I still see an attorney here, which is one reason I'm here now. She pointed out that now that I have definitely settled down in Massachusetts, I need to have an attorney write me a new will that is based on Massachusetts state law. So she will scare up some referrals to attorneys there.

I also had my accounting done here, and still do.
It's unusually warm even for Austin. Normally February in Austin is in the sixties, but today it's above eighty degrees. A big change from western Massachusetts, where they are struggling to stay above freezing. But I fear that I will return, day after tomorrow, to fresh snow and ice, as there is a storm system crossing the northern US.

It's been a good five years since I got on an airplane. I don't enjoy plane travel as much as I did when I was younger. On the longer flight , from Detroit to Austin, the seatbacks had the built-in video screens. I didn't choose to watch anything. But the person seated in front and to the left of me watched the film "Bugonia," and I could see everything like a silent movie. That was a weird movie at that, I'm not sure I can recommend it, but it kept me from dozing off in my seat, I will say that. As I say, plane travel is not so pleasant for me, but I ought not to complain as everything went the way it was planned, and there were no snafus. Hope it goes as well on Saturday when I fly back home.
