I went to a lot of concerts at Slocomb Auditorium, and my sister took Introductory Psych from Dr. Ann Zimmerer. Her family was the overachieving family of Pasadena. She was a psychologist, her husband was an engineer. Both were also lawyers. And their two sons both became lawyers. I went to law school with the older one.
I had to look up all the colleges except for SAC, Our Lady of the Lake and St. Mary's. I had no idea they expanded their junior college system so much. When I was in school there it was a sleepy, sunny town where you had big empty freeways, and you could see the sky. Now it's full of overgrown suburbia and the only way to pick up on the Mexican heritage is to go downtown. I was horrified that they put up big tall buildings next to Brackenridge Park!
And I went to the Armadillo in Austin on weekends for music, shortly before they tore down the intimacy of an aircraft hangar and put up another useless bank (((SNIFF))). All the classical music came through SA. I assume they destroyed the Austin I enjoyed as well.
I'd like to know more about pastry making. I make a pretty good banket, which is a dough thing with almond filling you roll up like an incompletely rolled enchilada (get the edges to meet on top) that is popular in Denmark. The Danes have a thing about almond stuff and marzipan.
