Houston, TX

Ridiculous statue of Sam Houston in Huntsville, TX

Monday morning, I took the 4.5 hour drive from Plano to Houston. Unfortunately, it was done with a hangover due to the belligerence of the Plano Posse on Sunday. Also, my picture-taking enthusiasm began to wane, so this post is particularly uneventful.

My first stop was a late lunch with my cousin, Sue, whom I haven't seen in about 25 years. It was good to catch up with her, even if it was only for a couple hours. Then, it was on to visit my good friend, Aud-man, who lives in the Alabama Place section of downtown Houston. Very quaint neighborhood. We had dinner and drinks at a nice bar/restaurant and also played catch-up, since we hadn't seen each other since the Bumpus Reunion of Aught-8 in Estes Park.

On Tuesday morning, before making the drive back to Austin to catch my flight, I had a little time to get some pictures of the campus of Rice University.

Sam's Bio

Rice University - there was no shortage of trees in this portion of the campus.
