Rally Austin 2021: during Covid
It was time for me to step back into the fold. The rally that I embarked on proved to be very challenging during the times of Covid. The teams were relegated to being "Politically Incorrect." Laura Ewing-Pearle, Eric Williams and I worked our magic through the city of Austin to make the road rally an in-person event, rather than one on "Zoom." Much to our surprise, many teams arrived in early at the "W" hotel, causing us some consternation. The theme of Political Incorrectness took the teams into various embarrassing situations, not the least of which was to obey the social mores of the time. For instance, the Musicians had to find their clues based upon Politically Incorrect songs of the seventies and eighties, of which "Short People" was one.

The winning team was the "Filmmakers." That team showed up at there places which had not even opened yet. DFL went to "The Foodies," which had done extremely well and earned the badge of respect that the award was meant for.
