Dallas

Posted on 07/31/2009 | Leave a comment

(Community Matters) DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) I had no idea part of the rail line was underground. I rode from downtown to Mockingbird station – felt very much like a subway.

Started thinking about those who so vehemently oppose in Austin, about their lack of vision and about the often-heard argument that we could purchase cars for most of the expected riders for cheaper. Well, aside from the obvious lack of contributing to environmental and traffic problems, I was thinking how the argument sounds especially silly coming from self-identified fiscal conservatives – it’s a false alternative since they’d never spend in the alternative.


Dinner last night with Charles Santos & Rick Bond. They are doing great – Charles consolidating Titas into Dallas Performing Arts complex, and Rick finishing up dissertation proposal. Steven is wrapping up client engagement this morning; we’ll have lunch with his aspiring-writer cousin, then off to Shawnee, Oklahoma.

This am, great planning meeting/conference call re: the 2010 Anti-Defamation League Torch of Liberty Awards where we’re honoring Amy & Kirk Rudy. Marcia Levy heading up fundraising – she’s awesome, much fun to work with.

Oh yeah, guess our big news yesterday was Steven fainting in Wheatsville. He’s fine. Was a strange windpipe thing.
