Houston we have a spork

I wish the effects could have been longer lasting. I got back late Thursday night tired but tanned and relaxed. I think I m going to be needing some Scharffen Berger. I m normally just fine with Hershey s but these are desperate times. Anyway we should review the vacation while I can still remember it. Then Hurricane Katrina came. Not only was the port flooded but the ship was dedicated to housing for displaced persons. We rescheduled for a similar cruise departing out of Galveston. A few days after we did this Hurricane Rita popped up. Fortunately the damage was minimal. Galveston does not have a major airport so you need to fly into Houston. Fine we would leave a little early and spend some time in Houston. We had planned to spend some time in New Orleans. We instinctively felt that Houston would not be as interesting but we had no idea how right we were. Houston is in Texas but is not of Texas. Houston is the opposite of the rest of the state. Two! thirds of the city population did not originate in Texas. I m not sure that this was entirely a bad thing. Texas is not my favorite state. Still if you re there you kind of want to get the experience. We would ask people what we should see and people kept saying the mall. Don t get me wrong the Galleria is pretty impressive. We just kept walking and walking and we still did not see all of it. That was where we spent our first day. We bought some souvenirs and got pedicures. It was my first time. One person we asked suggested that putting in a theater might make things too urban. That was how we spent day number two. I really enjoyed Last Holiday. It was cute and touching and there were some really funny parts and the casting was generally good. The New World had a wonderful cast and there was indeed some beautiful cinematography but it was soooo slooooow. I know Terrence Malick is an artist but that s no excuse. At least it was in muted color. We had also ! wanted to get a feel for local food. On the way back from the theater we thought we could at least find the barbecue place. The first one we passed was closed and the second one was kind of a dive. Long story short we ate Chinese food our last night in Texas. We did have fun that night anyway. Anyway we had visited with him a few times and he asked if we wanted to meet someone. I saw a huge cemetery an enormous liquor store Fiesta liquor which had several smaller locations as well . We did not see any armadillos. I could throw in a Bush joke or two here but it s too easy. It is HW not W we saw the statue. Still that takes quite a bit of driving to discover and gets a little complex. Labor disputes aside Portland is a city that reads. One of the memorable moments for David McCullough when visiting here was being recognized by his waiter. So Powells has my pick but your ideas are welcome.

I've just been hanging out waiting for something to happen. Today was a total loss. Basically not much noteworthy happening recently. It's not important. What can I say? My mind is like a bunch of nothing.
