Jesus is everywhere, silly. He's God!

I'm in Chicago.

A. Are you feeling better CDub?
B. Movers coming tomorrow.
C. CDub's brother is a ninja.

A. I'm feeling much better at this point. Nearing 100%. But since I normally run at 120%, I've got a little ways to go.

B. Sad day. Don't put yourself through it a third time.

C. How is he a ninja?

I had all my questions answered.

I'm back at work in Conroe. I'm not used to it...

My delicious lunch from Heberts:



EDITED to resize the outrageously huge picture.

AG TAG CHECK!

You use a VAIO?

That's a beautiful meal (and Ag Tag). Sausage and Chicken Gumbo with Extra Spice. I'm jealous. That Dr. Pepper never soothes the spice though. 12 Ounces is not enough.

Get me some next time.

(I'm back from redd's homeland)

I miss others posting here...

Jeff, you are a fan of Hubbell & Hudson too, eh?

Last mother ****ers!! HaHaHaHaHa!!

H&H is mighty nice. We used to go there quite a bit before catching a movie or going to Market Street. My wife and I don't frequent the area nearly as much since we moved outside The Woodlands (had to go back and capitalize the T).

Now that we're both in-season, we rarely make it out much of anywhere unless it's in our neighborhood.

I didn't know you had lived in The Woodlands.

H&H opened a new restaurant at Research/Gosling, Hubbell and Hudson Kitchen. It's more of a "quick meal" atmosphere. Still great ingredients and dishes. They also have a small grocery area.

They also own Black Walnut now. I love everything they touch.

Black Walnut has always been a favorite of ours. We go there often for meals on the weekends.

I'll have to check out the H&H kitchen. We lived in The Woodlands for the first three years we were in the area.

Black Walnut is the best.

I don't speak "outside the loop," can you guys translate?

Black Walnut is a little cafe/brunch place on Research Forrest dr. that is fantastic. Diverse menu, great fresh fruits and veggies. Nice deserts too.

H&H has a teaching kitchen and store across the street from the movie theater near The Woodlands Mall and just opened another eatery the CDub was hyping.

BTW, I think my wife and I might go check it out tonight. Wed nights are really our only night free during the week, so it might be a good break from the routine.

EDIT: Didn't make it out last night, but we'll give it a try soon.

It's a good, quick place. Similar offerings as you'll see at the counter at the H&H Market at the Waterway. They have a killer soup and salad bar.

The Lamb Burger is excellent.

Taste of the Woodlands tonight. I will feast on delicious cuisines.

Soccer tourney in Brenham (again) tonight. I will feast on frito pie and over-priced hot cocoa.

Problems with my mortgage provider. Possible that I might not get the house.

You'll have to tell me about it on our man date that is not a mandate.

Rolling blackouts have made my job on par with that of a security guard. I roam the halls with a flashlight and chase escapees back to where they are supposed to be. Add to that the fact that our plumbing is non-operational and it's easy to see why today is not my favorite.

That sucks. We've been immune to power outages at Greenspoint. Lucky us...

No problems for us in Conroe. I'm cozy.

didn't think this thread would receive this many posts. I'm joining in. Wonder why no one is talking about the soccer recruits that we just got. It's being talked about on the football board

To 1,000,000 3 pointers...and beyond

Check the last couple of pages on the Recruiting thread a few posts down. Good discussion there and ongoing analysis of current and future recruiting class.

This should be premium stuff.

Jeff, you have parties for every occasion!

I wish I was invited.

You want to go, Blake?

jeffk makes some mean black cherry lemonade.

Thanks for coming to the casa, guys. It was great to meet you both IRL. As soon as my season is done, I'm going to try to make it to a few more A&M games.

Enjoyed it. We'll have to do it again.

Port Lavaca, TX

Went on my 9th trip to Brenham yesterday for our JV tournament. (I've spent 27 hours driving a bus back and forth to there this year.) My kids played three forty-minute games. We scored first in each of the three, but gave up goals in the last several minutes of each to go home with a 0-2-1 record. Coaching a team of freshmen and sophomores has it's ups and downs. We'll take our lumps and hopefully get better at closing out matches.

The most interesting part of the day was watching one of the worst meltdowns by a coach I've ever seen. On the field next to ours, the coach of a team we'd played earlier flipped his lid. His goalie had come out to get a 50-50 ball, missed the ball completed and form tackled the attacking player. As the official went to give the keeper a yellow, the coach starts yelling at him not to do so. The ref gives him a sign to cool it and the coach responds by yelling at the top of his lungs, "DON'T WAVE YOUR FINGER AT ME, YOU JACK***!" At this point, both their game and ours come to a complete stop as everyone turns to see what is going on. The official continues to give the keeper the card and the coach continues to rail against him. At one point, he screams across the field "YOU HAVE NO HUEVOS! YOU HAVE NO HUEVOS!" The official begins to walk to his sideline and shows him the red card. He doesn't leave, but shouts, "I'LL TELL YOU THE SAME IN ENGLISH, YOU SOB. YOU HAVE NO BALLS! YOU HAVE NO BALLS!" The kids on my team can't take it any more and they all start laughing as do the the players and fans that aren't too stunned to do anything but gape in disbelief at this dude losing it in such an obvious way. Keep in mind that this is a JV tournament. Hope that guy enjoys his trip to Austin for the mandatory sportsmanship training session.

In other soccer news, I got a new pair of Adipures today to replace my 12 year old Nikes.
