dog friendly 5ks

why is it so hard to find them?! We all have a huge love affair with our pets, why aren't there more opportunities out there to run with the furry guys. I'm thinking I need to add a page on here to keep a listing of any I come across. If you know of any in and around Houston, please email me or leave info in a comment section.

a date night burger

I’ve heard a good deal about Petrol Station, and I think it did relatively well in the burger bracket over at the Houston Press. My understanding is that it used to be mainly a coffee house that offered beer, but since has veered into the beer garden that offers coffee genre. Regardless of its roots, T and I were looking for a low key ‘out of the way’ place to do a quick date night and Petrol seemed to fit the bill. We pulled up and I wasn’t one bit surprised to see…an old gas station. It was full, but not ridiculously so and we were lucky to nab a parking spot out front. Walking in I immediately felt comfortable, I’m very into wood and dark intimate atmospheres right now and this place supplied both.

Perhaps it will lead to some new opportunities but for now, I'm not so sure. Regardless, it is doing a couple of other things - one, is the spike in airline miles and hotel points that I am accumulating... the other, is the change from barely eating out to basically eating out at every meal. This, in turn, means two more things: one, lots of new fun for the blog and two, lots of calories I'm going to have to struggle to keep off.

Below is something I took from John Faulk's newsletter... he's a great candidate and a strong conservative who should help district 18 get rid of queen Shelia once and for all! Last Sunday afternoon Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) was part of the panel for a legislative workshop titled "Engaging Congress: the NAACP's Legislative Agenda to Achieve One Nation, One Dream". Representative Jackson-Lee spoke on the tea party movement among other issues: "Representative Sheila Jackson Lee: ....And I thank you professor very much. I'm going to be engaging you with those very powerful numbers that you have offered on what the tea party recognizes, uh, or is recognized as. Might I add my own P.S.?
