Just back from a few days in Texas to scope out locations for a future tour. Invaluable to get "eyes on target" if that target is going to include places to eat with names like "Booger Red's", "The Elephant Bar & Saloon", and "Lonesome Dove Cafe". I will also now be able to tell the attaches to avoid the 'cattle fries'.
Those of you in the Pikes Peak Region who enjoy the occasional Rocky Mountain Oyster know what I'm talking about.
Though I would recommend the rattlesnake sausage, kangaroo nachos, deer chops, and St. Arnold's Fancy Lawnmower beer.
Despite a few problems with the GPS sending us hither and yonder, it was a good trip, to two locations (Ft. Worth and San Antonio) I'd never been, the latter city apparently close to a mortal sin for someone 16 years in the Air Force -- it has four AF bases ringing the city, as well at least one Army post. It's going to be hard to narrow down stuff to do with our group. Especially with the Alamo and the River Walk, with all the restaurants and mariachi bands therein.
New career goal: open a restaurant in downtown San Antonio that specializes in putting ice cream on top of other things. Call it "ALaMode's"
This idea hereby trademarked by the Federal Department of Commerce & Agriculture, Sec. 1492.3 dash A.
As always, nice to get home, though these single-digit temps can go bye-bye in a hurry. The cabin fever just adds to the end of a crappy week for my son, which started with him almost pulling a motorcycle on top of himself at a sporting goods store (the next one in line broke its fall, but it still scared the bejoojooze out of him). It ended on a high note, though, celebrating a friend's 3-year old birthday at what amounts to his first tea party -- he looked dapper in a clip-on red-and-black square tie, Erin in her finest look-I'm-starting-to-walk tights, and even his father in a bow tie and bowler to look the part. His daddy's a bit silly, it's been noted.
