Dan and I both woke up feeling pretty sick. Just a little bit of SXSW flu. We were slow in getting out of town\u2026 But we got an Uber to the Hertz place picked up her car and started driving the strangely familiar Route from Austin to Houston. Are used to drive it quite a bit when I was in high school\u2026 And then again in the 90s. Hadn’t done it for quite some time.<\/p>\n

Took us about 3 hours to get to Houston. First stop was memorial high school, then memorial drive elementary. Then a stop by our old house .. then back to the middle school. Brought back lots of nostalgia!<\/p>\n

We Got to Billy slab around 4 PM\u2026 We’d never seen it. It’s truly amazing. He has every tool, every fabricating technique\u2026 An expert in all of it working on so many cool projects. I was so proud to see him in his element. I am certain amazing things are going to come from this lab !<\/p>\n

(For some reason, my camera won’t let me post pictures\u2026 I’ll have to do that tomorrow)<\/p>\n

After CDI\u2026 We went back to Billy and Shawn’s house. Got to see all the kids except for Kris. It was really fun hanging out. Around 9 o’clock we went out for sushi. Had a truly wonderful meal. Towards the end my cousin Leslie and her husband Bret Showed up. Quite a lot of family around that table!.<\/p>\n

Now trying to get to sleep in order to wake up before 5 AM for a flight.<\/p>\n

It’s been a great visit. I’ll post the pictures tomorrow<\/p>\n
