Let me tell you, the worst thing about having eight awesome animals is that you miss the hell out of them when they're not around. Of course, they didn't go anywhere - my friend Ben watched them - & I have to be honest, it was nice to not have to worry about them while I was in Texas. So glad to be with them again though! Four days away was rough.
Now I have to work on a show! I should probably get some sleep.
Any thoughts about Texas? Look, I've complained about this before: there's not a vegetarian or vegan restaurant within sixty miles of Lexington, & places that have vegan options (of which there are maybe five) seem to have them begrudgingly. Going to Dallas, you have not only amazing Ethiopian food (Lalibela), but possibly the best all-vegan diner in the world (Spiral Diner), among other treats (like vegan donuts at Glazed Donut Works, which has a vegan donut choice every damn day*). Then we went to Austin for a day, where we discovered an extraordinary vegetarian (many items vegan!) food truck called Shhmaltz (the Reuben is divine, the Bob Dylan is a revelation), & I had breakfast (vegan pancakes, yum) at the same old Kerbey Lane (now twice its size) that I went to twenty-seven years ago, & pretty much all the time until five years ago. Gah! So much food!
Also I got to see dear friends whom I never really ever get to see. That was better than all the food in the world.
Oh no! Look at the time! Radio show! Sending tee shirts out! Maybe even getting sleep?
* I called a hip new donut place here in Lexington & asked if they served vegan donuts. The person on the other line said, "Why would we do that?"
