Olivia Newton John

Wyll bought me a ticket to go see her, I surprised him by renting a room across the street from the venue and a portrait of her, which he loved......met him friend (Rey)- who has lots of issues. Had a great time and we needed lots of sleep when we got back.....got to see Mom and Dad briefly but overall- we had a great weekend. At home, James allowed both Phillip and Pasqual to spend the night, James go this hair permed which turned out nice.

Ran four miles (again)

Went to townlake and ran the entire loop (4 miles), felt good and not that sore which is good...I think I will be able to run the entire CAP 10K next weekend....so excited! I have come a long way from being injured back in August....wow, that's crazy improvement.

Austin Bomber DEAD- whew

(CNN)The man police believe was behind a series of bombings that terrified Austin, Texas, for 19 days is dead, police said.

Authorities have called the suspect a "serial bomber" who was skilled and capable of making sophisticated devices.

Here's what we know about the man accused of the deadly explosions:

He was 24 years old

Police have not released the suspect's name and only described him as a 24-year-old white man.

It's unclear whether he lived in the Austin area.

His motive is still unknown

Police said the suspect is responsible for the bombings in Austin, but they are still investigating why he carried them out.

How did police find him?

In the past 24 to 36 hours, authorities received information that led them to a person of interest, who later became a suspect.

Austin Mayor Steve Adler confirmed that police obtained surveillance images showing the suspect at a FedEx store in Austin.

They later identified his car and spotted it Wednesday night at a hotel in Round Rock, Texas, a few miles north of Austin.

As officers waited for tactical units to arrive on the scene, the man began to drive away and later stopped on the side of the road.

It was then that SWAT officers approached the vehicle and the man detonated a bomb inside his car, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said.

The suspect died inside the vehicle.

Did he act alone?

It's unclear if he had any accomplices. It appears that he was alone when he drove away from the hotel in Round Rock and when he detonated a device in his car.

Austin bombings

Austin, Texas (CNN)Austin police just confirmed what residents have feared for weeks -- a suspected serial bomber is attacking their city.

For the fourth time this month, a device exploded on Austin residents. What makes Sunday night's blast especially terrifying is that the device was left on the side of a residential road and triggered by a tripwire, police said Monday. 

 

Investigators have found similarities between that device and three previous bombs, which were stuffed inside packages and left on residents' doorsteps, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said.

"We are clearly dealing with what we expect to be a serial bomber at this point," he said.

Timeline of the bombings

 

The latest device -- which was triggered by a tripwire -- shows "a higher level of sophistication, a higher level of skill," he said.

 

And unlike the victims of the previous blasts, the two men wounded in Sunday's explosion are white, Austin police said. Both men are expected to recover.
