Alliance, TX (USA)

[spent the whole morning taking care of last-minute business: flowers (Albertson's), gift cards (Sonic), delivery of all the items - met up with Katie, Nicky and kids at the Galley around 1145 and we had a great "retirement luncheon" (Mexican food, buffet style) - there were probably around 40 people there (pretty good number, since there was an Indy-car fundraiser and Paint-ball tournament going on with our staff...) - nostalgic photo show (thanks to several techno-folks who worked for about an hour - awards ("Yellow Rose of Texas" and "Admiral of the Texas Navy") and letters of appreciation for Nicky and the kids - HUGE cake - dust settled and we went home around 1430 - rested (games at home) until around 1800 and then drove over to the Noodles at Boba Tea House (Mollie and I had scouted it out a few weeks ago) - great dinner - afterwards drove up to Cabela's to explore with Katie (she was impressed) - drove home later (stuffed and tired) - stayed up very late - what a day!]
