Vegas

Well it was a delicious anniversary trip to Lost Wages, I mean Los Vegas. The food was great, the sights, sounds, and shows were amazing, our hotel was fantastic, and it was all very romantic, despite the $200 casino losses. Hey, we got off easy, lots of folks lose BIG money there. Its mind boggling to think some hotels have 4000 to 5000 rooms. Of course the true highlight (lowlight) of the trip was boarding a city bus and having a drunk guy offer me a drink from his flask...right after getting kicked off the bus. Guess that’s all in a typical Sin City day.

Finally. Some Life Direction. Ha.

Que Hora Es?

My 15 year old daughter reports this -- from the front lines of a semi-upscale suburban Houston high school, in one of the top Texas school districts:

Two of her friends cannot tell time using a regular clock. Digital clock? No problem. Clock with hands? No joy. My daughter has to read them the time in the cafeteria. This is real, not a hoax.

Luckily, dial telephones are nearly extinct, or these girls would really be lost.

Shifting the Paradigm Shift

I heard a radio reporter talking about the "turn of the century." My brain flashed to images of the 1900 timeframe. But -- he was actually talking about 2000. Yikes.

"The Weatherman" Movie...

Mixed reviews.

The Good.

The Bad.

No ugly (yet).

Rocky 6!

Inspiration for all of us MAWGs.

I Am So Lazy -- Part 2

I am so lazy that...
...I drop ice cubes directly into the wide-mouth Gatorade bottle. This saves the time and trouble of pouring it into a glass. Of course.

Python Pandemic

An 11-foot python escaped in southwest Houston. Maybe it will slither over to southeast Houston, where we have alligators. Let the epic battle begin! Can we sell tickets...?

It is hilarious that the owner is worried about the python getting hurt.

Not to be outdone, Florida chimes in with another python story.
Except that python vs. cat isn't too exciting.

Too Cool: Python vs. Alligator

This slow-news-day story from Florida has tapped some subconscious, primal, battle-of-the-titans juvenile male fascination.

Python vs Alligator. Yeah, baby.

Only problem... I can't figure out who to root for. And...who is the underdog?
