It's Rodeo and Mardi Gras Time

It's Mardi Gras in the Big Easy (Good ridden to awful Katrina) and Rodeo time in the Space City. I had some tickets for the barbeque cook off on Saturday at the Houston Rodeo. My wife and I were looking forward to some good eating. However, it was raining all day. Therefore, my wife and I settled for Olive Garden (viva Italia) in our Humble City.

Our daughter from Tokyo arrived in time for the juggling show at Princeton University on Saturday to surprise her friends. All her friends from 2005 graduating class were there too. She is now at NY City for a friend's birthday. She will be home next week. Her friend plans to visit Houston too. Therefore, her plan is to take her friend to the Rodeo to give a taste of real Texas. The older daughter is camping at Yosemite Park with her friends this weekend.

The weather turned gorgeous today after two weeks' of depressing overcast sky. I went for a bike ride under a sunny, blue sky this morning humming that Willie Nelson song ("Blue sky, nothing but the blue sky...").

Then it was usual household chores. It is time to get ready to welcome Monday. Do we really live for Friday or what??
