Holy crap, is this blog still here?

The sad thing is that I update more than most of my friends...

Starting to Get Cold...Texas-Style

So I went outside today and my first thought was...dang its cold. There was a slight breeze, and it was a little rainy, so I totally went in and got me a sweatshirt. The funny part is that it was 62° outside. I remember the days when I used to think that 62° was perfect weather to swim in...needless to say I don't think that any more.

In fact, I remember once, when living in New Hampshire, going outside in the sunshine and 10° temperatures and thinking: this is kinda nice (mind you, this was after a long period of -10° and even worse wind chill).

So in response to my new found revelation of wimpyness, I decided barbecue today because that will prove that I'm a man. Austin was there along with me. We were outside sweatshirts and flip-flops, and every time we opened the grill we used it like a campfire...in the 60° temperatures.

Don't know what I'll do if I ever live in a place with Winter again. Luckily for me, there's only one day in the next 10 day forecast where I'll feel a cold 68° temperature.

A Time and Season for Everything

I almost forgot that I had this blog. It wasn't until I saw it in my bookmarks that I remembered. Maybe my blogging career is just a phase. I go through lots of those.

For example: four or five months back

I all of the sudden wanted to be good at poker. So I read a lot of books, and played a lot online (almost every day). I am now really good. I understand position poker, can calculate pot odds quickly, and can consistently go really far in my neighborhood games. In fact, I haven't missed a final table since. I still like the game, but I

haven't really played in a couple of months...no desire.

There was one point where I wanted a motorcylce (which I still do, but I'm not obsessed with it). I would research different kinds, look on craigslist every day, etc. That went on for a few months...but reality must have set in that I have many more things to spend money on, and I don't necessarily want to fight that fight with Heidi.

I have more examples, but I hesitate to let the three people who read this blog know precisely how weird I really am. For those three: Do you have strange phases/obsessions?

Should this blog go by way of my other phases...?

Mini Road Trip (day 2)

-Getting my kicks on rt 66.

-Went to 'Pops'...it could be described as being similar to Flo's (from Cars). The food was good, but the reason you go there is because they have every kind of soda (in glass bottles) known to man. The whole front of the store was 20 ft walls of bottles...it looked cool. We spent $40 on 12 different kinds of soda...and didn't get a single Diet Coke.

-I tried to see if I can upload pics, but blogger won't let me.

-Now we're driving in the rain...and wishing we had Diet Coke.

***Update

-Davis OK is home of the 1995 state football champions...awesome.

-One more racoon and some mystery roadkill added to the list.

-I think Christie's toy store might be like a regular toy store...but Heidi wouldn't go find out.

-Scenic outlooks in OK aren't very scenic.

-German bakeries (inside truck stops) on the TX/OK border aren't very german.

-Fatties BBQ is home of the El Farto Grande.

-Home in 25 minutes and it feels good. Great weekend all around.
