The Austin Diaspora

As of last night, life is going to be a little different in Austin. Our friends Alex and Aimee are heading back to New Hampshire where Alex teaches English at the University of NH. I am very happy for them as they start this new life together but I am very sad to lose two great friends in Austin. We have had a lot of great times getting drinks at the San Jose, gorging on burritos at Chuys, strolling around town lake and just giggling a lot over wine. Things are not going to be the same without them. How much money do you think it would take to bribe a UT English professor to quit and then bribe the English dpt to hire Alex? I have a little money saved. It is very sad, this is the second time in the last six months a really close friend of ours has left Austin and another of our friends may be going abroad for six months. Blech it is hard enough to make friends without them running away all the time. Bye Bye guys, have fun in sunny New Hampshire (this time I am being sarcastic:).
