Michael and I went to Austin to see the Baronsmen re-enact Shakespeare's classic "Taming of the Shrew." It was a beautiful, crisp Fall night and the setting couldn't have been any more realistic. Except for the snack table of pre-packaged goodies (read: cotton candy!) and availability of cold soft drinks, it felt like we were in jolly old England!

All in all, it was a wonderful trip. Another "strange" hotel room, another "new favorite" store (Zinger's!), and another pocketful of memories.
