Texas Bear at work

River allowed me to bring Texas Bear home from Asheville for a short visit.  Mya requested that he return with some Texas pecans, which he definitely will.  Here he is sitting in the plant in my office, after I showed him the State Capitol.  He looks so grumpy in this photo because I've been at work every day since returning from Asheville on December 26, madly trying to finish a decision that's due on January 15, and haven't taken him to all his favorite Austin places.  He's reminded me about what a good time Flat Stanley had.  Sorry, Texas Bear!
