Shady Grove

Shady Grove near Barton Springs in Austin, Texas. Have you ever eaten there? I look across the table, over the years, and see Debbie's heartbreakingly beautiful, never-failing smile mostly, but one or two other friends also from college days, warm memories, too. The air is dense and warm, often too warm, but that's okay - this is Texas after all, and we've long since decided we'll put our efforts into believing we're used to it. The tables are filled with comfortable, aging hippie city-fied farmer types, people who deep in thier hearts find things to admire in Willie Nelson.

Cadillac chili is what it's called on the menu, and it stings a little as it goes down.
