river substitution

Spent the weekend in the Austin/New Braunfels area. The group had a great time tubing down the Comel while Nicky and I spent some time and money at a local mall, taking advantage of the tax-free weekend. I missed not going, but in the words of Bo Derek... "Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping." In other words, my alternative was sufficient to keep my thoughts of sadness at bay.
