A Fifth Happy Post

I went to Houston and picked up Solin. She and Mouse are already bound at the hip. I haven't had real salsa in so long that when I went to a tex-mex restaurant in Houston, my tongue was on fire. It was really funny. It tasted wonderful and I brought back a quart of each type of salsa (green and red) along with some tortilla chips. We had an ice chest and kept it fresh in there.

So I bet you are wondering about the Astros game, huh? It was AWESOME. I was trying to think of a different adjective but awesome just fit so well. They lost 7-5 to the Reds which sucked because Reds really aren't that good (sorry Leslie but take comfort in the fact they swept the Astros). Guess who was pitching!? Oh yeah, my hero, Andy Pettitte! He was so perfect to watch. Even Mr. Daphnewood had a good time. It was really fun because he would ask about certain rules or why did they opt for a intentional walk. I was the teacher and he was the student. That is reversed normally in our house. We ate soft pretzels and shared a coke while wearing our free Astros cap. It was the best date we had together in a long time. He said he might even take me to another one in July when we take Solin home.

I took some pictures and a little bit of video while the crowd sang "Deep in the Heart of Texas". I'll try to upload them later. Happy monday everyone!
