On the road again: Austin, day 3
Today began very early and is ending rather late, and I can't talk about most of it.
Dinner, though, is fair game for discussion. We ate at The Carillon at UT's AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center. The building was certainly impressive, and the restaurant's design was, too. The six-course tasting menu, however, did not live up to the space. Don't get me wrong: It was a good meal. Fifteen or so years ago, it would have been the best meal I'd ever had. Today, though, it was a tasty but unsurprising and unremarkable offering. The experience reminded me of how quickly and easily I have raised my standards.
On the first night here, we drove down a road named 2222. The moment I saw it, I thought of the Zager and Evans song, "In the year 2525," because, well, my brain's like that. Now, the damn tune won't get out of my head. So, give this a listen, and maybe it'll infect you, too.
Or maybe you're wired more sanely, and it won't.

Thanks alot, now I will be singing that song in my head for days. Quick, post another song!
This has always been one of my favorites. Thanks for the link!
No way. The only way to get that song out of my head is to install it in you (and others).
Another person successfully infected!
I love this song... Happily infected. Thank you.
I'm glad you do. It is now out of my head, and I must not think further about it, or it will invade me again.
Love that song; Futurama just did a parody version, "In the year 252525" which was pretty funny.
I'll have to look for that parody, Andy.
