Guess what my youngest did yesterday? John just told Austin, a couple of days ago, that he was probably going to give up the townhouse mid-summer, and Austin should start thinking about where he'd like to live after that, "but of course, take your time, there's no rush or anything." Sooo, John leaves to come here on Friday, and the next day we get a call saying Austin has already signed a lease, and he moves out in two weeks!
The kid is over the moon cuz he found just what he was looking for, at a price he could afford, down in the old Houston Heights area where I used to work. That's where one of his good buddies lives, and it's much closer to all the live music venues he frequents. Best of all, he'll be in walking distance to Onion Creek Cafe - the place I used to call my home away from home - with it's great coffeehouse atmosphere in the mornings, a neighborhood hangout with beer and wines in the evenings, wonderful decks for dining al fresco, and a farmers' market each Saturday. On top of all that, he should have a fairly easy commute to work, since he'll be right at I-10, but traveling against most of the traffic. What more could a guy ask for?
We can't help but be happy for him - he's sooooo excited. But still, I'm thinking a certain someone is reeeeally gonna be missin' that boy and his puppy, once they move out!
