Houston is worth it

NY Times: A handbook of things to do in Houston that I bought was a svelte 185 pages, with large type. Meanwhile, another guide - this one devoted to cheap eats in Houston - waddled in at 513 pages. This town does some serious, head-down eating, and food is the centerpiece of the Houston Experience.

And, of course, Houston is Worth It: The Heat. The Humidity, The Hurricanes, The Flying Cockroaches, The Mosquitoes, The Traffic, The Construction, The Sprawl, The Refineries, The Ridicule, The Pollen, The Air, The Billboards, The Flooding, The Image, The Property Taxes, The Short Springs, The Long Summers, The Potholes, The No Mountains. I totally have to decide which t-shirt to order. I'm leaning towards the flooding house.

For whenever you get down about living in Houston...

Remember Me?


Piles Of Rock
A little bit of hope for the places I'll go, a few memories of the places I've been, and some humdrum in between to fill the white space.
