Is there internet in Austin?
June 5, 2009I was going to blog about the "Five things to watch for at the state track meet" last night after I got in, but our hotel's Internet is not working.
It is so frustrating to connect to a wireless signal, only to not gain page access when you open a browser. And shockingly no one up there knows how to resolve the problem.
The UT internet guy wasn't here early this morning, so I was not able to make a blog post until now. But I am finally good to go.
Here is what I know so far:
*When the Super 8 says it has Internet, be very, very wary.
*Holliday's Hance Loyd, the defending 2A state cross country champ, just finished fourth in the 3,200. He hung with the Crawford kid the last few laps in a race for third, but the Crawford guy ended up beating him by 3-4 seconds.
I am not going to be able to give updates after everyone's race, but we are a little slow right now.
* When I went to put on my sunscreen, it resembled curdled milk. I was not aware sunscreen could expire, but I guess that's what happened. So today will be known as "Can I Borrow some Sunscreen" Day.
* Today is also my 27th birthday. I am celebrating by spending 13 hours in the sun at the track meet. And I blame the swine flu.
* People that have wished me a happy birthday today:
-- HS friend Scott Chao
-- Our photographer Steven Schaffner
-- Ricardo from KFDX
-- My sister-in-law Amanda
-- My mother-in-law
Noticeably absent from that list is my wife, who I have even talked to today. But I will cut her a break because she is balancing work and taking care of a 2-month-old baby.
UPDATE -- My wife has wished me a Happy Birthday. And like I said, she had a legit reason for not calling. I just wanted to see how many people would call/text me before my wife did.
