Scattered thoughts on a weekend in Houston
Just some random thoughts on my weekend I spent in Houston...
- Could a city be any more humid??? GOOD LORD!!! You walk outside, and you can almost take a bite out of the air. You a break a sweat just by blinking!!!
- Minute Maid Park is AWESOME! I haven't been too many major league ballparks, but the electricity and the atmosphere of Minute Maid is incredible.
- On that same note, Roger Clemens could pitch until he's 50. Even though he has said and done things in the past that make people hate him (i.e., throwing a piece of a bat at Mike Piazza), the man can pitch!
- Humidity!
- I'm not a big shopper...but IKEA is a great place! Just don't take your two-year old there on a Saturday.
- Is construction a hobby for folks in Houston...or do they actually plan to finish something. Just curious.
- Went to the Galleria on Saturday night. It's big...and I felt really poor.
- Saw a marquis for the remake of "The Bad News Bears" while walking through the Galleria. Obviously Hollywood has paid no heed to my post on remaking good movies. Billy Bob Thornton has a very high opinion of himself if he thinks he can build on Walter Matthau, Tatum O'Neal, and, the comedy force of the '70s, Englebert!!! He should stick to movies about mentally challenged folks with an affinity for lawn mower blades.
- Did I mention that it's humid AND hot in Houston!
Next -- my trip to a McDonald's in Downtown Houston.

Have to comment here especially since you brought up Bad News Bears and in light of your previous post.
I had been anxiously awaiting the new Rick Springfield album. Go ahead, make fun of me but I was a huge fan back in the day.
The album is a recording of songs that he wished he had written: Waiting for a Girl like You; Life in a Northern Town; Human, etc.
Man, is it awful. I'm afraid you are right. If you can't write or record something original it's time to call it a day.
