We're one month into 2008. So far it's been a quiet new year. January is always the coldest month here in North Texas, so that precludes a lot of outdoor activity. We had some below-freezing mornings and 30-degree highs of late. I know it's still much warmer than Januaries of my childhood, but the body loses tolerance for the cold quite quickly! Last night, however, Mihir and I went for a long walk around our Valley Ranch neighborhood. It was warmer, and we needed only a sweater. It was nice. We're lucky to live in such a nice, walker-friendly neighborhood. The canal is especially nice.
We've finally broken down and acquired a coffee pot, mostly to conquer our growing Starbucks addiction. We're enjoying it--a lot. We bought one that grinds the beans immediately before brewing coffee, which is fun. Currently we're brewing French Roast. I take mine with a splash of soy milk and Splenda; Mihir prefers black coffee.
Last weekend we visited the Dallas Museum of Art to see a special exhibition of Indian painting and jewelry. It was an impressive collection, but just short of rivaling what we saw in various museums in Mumbai and Pune last November. We always appreciate the endless opportunities to experience art and culture in Dallas-Fort Worth. I spent my entire life wishing I could have more access to such cosmopolitan experiences, and now I finally have. In just under two years, we been to several museums, the opera, the ballet, and a wonderful rarely seen Tennessee Williams play. Life is good in Texas!
