It was also election day in Austin. We elected a new mayor and some city council seats. Mary and I actually went and voted. The outcome was pretty much a forgone conclusion and <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.willwynn.com\/\">Will Wynn<\/a> was elected as expected. <\/p>\n<p>We also had tickets to the matinee performance of Cirque Du Soleil&#8217;s <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.cirquedusoleil.com\/CirqueDuSoleil\/en\/spectaculera\/alegria\/alegria_home.htm\">Alegria<\/a>. It was the first time to a Cirque performance for all of us. We brought Lily and Henry. Henry was just old enough to get into it and Lily slept most of the performance, allowing Mary and I to enjoy the whole thing. I highly recommend going to a performance if you have a chance despite the rather high ticket prices. I&#8217;ve passed on seeing <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.cirquedusoleil.com\/CirqueDuSoleil\/en\/shows\/resident\/o\">O<\/a> and <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.cirquedusoleil.com\/CirqueDuSoleil\/en\/shows\/resident\/mystere\"> Mystere<\/a> on my trips to Vegas over the past few years, but I&#8217;m definitely not going to miss O the next time I&#8217;m there. We finished the day off with dinner at <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.hooverscooking.com\/\">Hoover&#8217;s<\/a> (great food despite their crap website). Both kids were amazingly well behaved, although Lily did manage to dump Mary&#8217;s entire drink into both their laps just as we were finishing eating.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was yoga for Mary, basketball for me, and trips to Sam&#8217;s, Target, and Central Market for all four of us, making it painfully obvious that we need a bigger car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday was Free Comic Book Day.
