Last weekend, I was down in Houston visiting some buddies that I had met here and over Telegram  Garoh  Zulgrath  Bin and  Tubaguy10x. It was both Zul's 21st and a final weekend before he goes back to Ohio so the perfect chance to get a visit in.

Lots of fun was had and we kept a pretty busy schedule through the weekend. I think what I liked best was being able to swim in the ocean in really nice water with high cresting waves for maybe the 3rd time in my life. Got to that twice and also had dinner at the Horse Track, a Day visiting Moody Gardens and the first time I'd been on a Zip line and otherwise taking some of the Landmarks in Downtown Houston and Walden Galleria.

Oh ..and food....on a trip with 4 Bears and Husky (and we had representation: Panda Bear, Grizzly Bear, Black Bear and Polar Bear!), food was going to be central and we got Cajun, Colombian, Italian, and Whattaburger all wrapped in there, as well as a really nice Buffet at the Horse Track. I had a really great time and it was nice to get to know the guys a bit better and hang out with them all. Also to tack on a few new "life experiences" *winks*. And I'm really really awful at Neo-Geo golf - like historically awful.

Thanks guys for having me down there. I had a lot of fun and it was a great way to relax a little. Hopefully I might see some of you at some upcoming Cons, depending. I know  Zulgrath mentioned a Canada Trip this summer and  Bin and  Garoh are pondering :)
