Spent last Saturday walking all the way around San Antonio’s SeaWorld Park in search of their Mardi Gras Festival. No one working there could give us directions. Go figure!

Found it!

Part of it is past the Beluga whale stadium, and the rest of the action is in the front part of the park just before you get to the Steel Eel roller coaster.

Some jugglers walking on balls, beautifully dressed revelers handing out glass beads, Mardi Gras music playing all over the park, and wonderfully good food. The jambalaya was best. Also banana bread pudding.

Great weather. Was introduced to a bald eagle, saw the giant tortoises strut their stuff and a bunch of smallish alligators sunbathing.

Worth the hair-raising drive on I-10 getting there. Was easier getting back. Whatever they were doing to the road Saturday they weren’t doing Sunday.

This weekend was supposed to be our very last time as vendors (selling my science fiction and horror novels) at Aggiecon. But in fact, it was two years ago that was the last. Something happened. Don’t know what, but it’s like communication between us and their organization was blocked.

So, no Rix Café Texican old ladies in the vendor’s room. But it looks like there will be a lot of fun things to do there this weekend.

Have fun, all of you.

It’s February now. One month gone. I’m completing Chapter 4 of the mystery novel I’m working on. And re-watching LOST, wondering why no one in the YELLOWSTONE saga realizes the character Josh Holloway played (got bit by a rattlesnake thrown into his face) just disappeared.

Dropped plot line, like the polar bears and other dropped plot lines in LOST.

One more thought. The movie Roxanne helped produce (like a go fund me project) is getting advance reviews. Sort of cool seeing Roxanne Rix and our publishing company Rix Café Texican in the credits. Want to see? Bring up the movie title A Stranger in the Woods.
