Couple of things that I forgot to post. Nile turned 15 yesterday and Dani and her friend Idil are going to Columbia University this summer for a high-school science program. It's a great opportunity for her and she is terribly excited to be going back to the northeast, especially to the city.
We had a little party f
or Nile at my parents' house yesterday. Here he is by the cake. He starts dog camp in a couple of weeks, and he finished sculpture camp last week. Dog camp will be interesting -- he will train a dog from the pound. Learn about how to do that, learn about dogs in general. We've never had a dog, only Gary the cat. So lots of new things there. My brother Colin gave Nile a dog toy for his birthday - ha. Colin has always had a dog. Sculpture camp was interesting, but it turned out it was in far East Austin. It took 45 minutes to get there, on a good day. The last day with the ROT Rally going on, it took even longer. Not sure I want to repeat that. He has ceramics camp in August & that's at Laguna Gloria, a much better drive.

Saturday they went to the Co-op to buy Keep Austin Weird shirts and then they went to the Matt & Kim concert at Stubb's. We will visit Fonda San Miguel, Barton Springs (or maybe Deep Eddy) and the Salt Lick sometime this week. They leave for New York on Sunday.
I wish it would rain. The weather report is amazingly, boringly the same, every single day. High of 99 or 100, low of about 75. Not a cloud in the sky. No rain. Everything is starting to get a terrible brown.
The DeMouys are visiting from Baton Rouge this week & we'll have them over for a big pool party on Thursday. Ken is able to come home early for that.
