Well Houston it’s been fun…

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

…but I have to go back to the cold dairy farm that is Wisconsin today. I hope you had as much fun as I didn’t. Maybe next time we can go out and see some of the sites. We’ll make sure to hit up the places that actually have somewhat of a populace next time around.

The Flying Saucer

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

So I ventured out to the Flying Saucer in downtown Houston tonight. Over 100 beers on tap with my favorite, Sierra Nevada, fortunately being one of those. I’d highly recommend this bar if you’re looking for about 20+ girls dressed with hooker boots in skirts. However, the ratio of blondes to non-blondes was 1:20: bummer!

My gramher and spelling is not well

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Well in an effort to improve my grammar, spelling, and sentence coherency I’m going to try to blog once a day. I’m sure others will be excited about this as well because I lead such an exciting life here in Wisconsin. I have been teased or ridiculed by friends, co-workers, (ex)girlfriends, and strangers so I figured I’ll start here.

My entry today is simple, people in Texas talk to me in the elevators and it scares me.

Houston, TX

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

Well after an additional 3 hours and a stop in Austin I finally make it to lovely Houston. Just like VA it’s warm and humid and the A/C is set for 60 everywhere so I bring a long sleeve shirt everywhere I go.

Snakes on a Plane

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

Well after a couple of months of waiting feverishly I finally saw Snakes on a Plane (SoaP). Amy, Steve and I went to the 10 PM showing which showcased a couple people dressed in snake. Steve saw it the previous night and apparently a woman had a real live snake outside after the show. I won’t spoil the movie for anyone, but all I can say is go see it with a bunch of people and you’ll have an outstanding time.

Richmond, Virginia

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

Well I made it to Virginia, but my luggage was delayed 12 hours. Thankfully the hotel called at 5AM this morning to let me know the luggage had arrived. I missed out on the spa last night and also brushing my teeth.

The good news is I’m about 2 hours from D.C. so I’m thinking about taking a drive over, anybody want to meet there?

Cubs

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Well I drove out to Wrigley Field Saturday to watch the Cubs play the Pirates with my good buddies. I miss the good old stadium and continue my disgust at U.S. Cellular field and how cold it feels compared to Wrigley. Then I went over to Miller Park last night to watch the Cubs take on the Brewers. Again a great game, but the stadium still felt cold compared to Wrigley. What is it about Wrigley field. That’s three Cub games this year for me, not too bad for a cheesehead.
