Dinner today was Whataburger, a San Antonio-based, family-owned burger chain that's apparently considered a Texas treasure. However, I intend to always keep a generous helping of SSI on my menu.
One simplly does not dump friends. I am blessed to have dear friendships with people in every area I have lived, the kind that when you reconnect it's like you were never apart. A few years ago on Facebook tugged at a couple of stitched threads and next thing you know I'm reconnecting with many of my friends from the church I was heavily involved in from age 8 to my early 20's. What a treat it was!
My SSI friends cannot get rid of me so easily. :)
Re: "RTC" that's an intriguing concept, mojician. So the problem might not be the Mariners, it might be my fandom. If that's the case, you guys should PLEAD with me to become and Astros fan.
True story, today we were continuing our house-hunting and I can't tell you how often I have seen expensive Dallas Cowboys decoratives not just in bedrooms but in living rooms. Then this afternoon I saw one brave (insane?) homeowner who had hung a Denver Broncos flag on his front flagpole. I can't imagine the abuse he must get. People here are uber-patriotic about their state. It is not at all uncommon to see a big Lone Star as a decorative on the facade of a house. The culture here is fascinating and different from anything I've ever encountered. Oh, and the drivers carry on as if each one is convinced he DOES own the whole d**n road. If you will LET yourself be run off the road, you WILL be run off the road.
