  1. Had a couple of these at Lynn’s steakhouse in Houston for $14 each. I think he upped the price after we took a picture of the bottle. This was discontinued in 2013 but this label is even older than that. It tastes like bourbon should taste.d4575d21def51a45c73532ce697bba32.jpg

  2. I'm going to be in San Antonio in a few weeks with the kids.  Should I take them to the River Walk (they are 5 and 3) to ride the boats around?

    Thoughts on family tex mex (Taco House looks awesome, but I need a sit down joint)?

  3. Headed down the end of May for a golf trip. Anyone been out to coyote springs? I've heard really good things but just wondering if it's worth the drive. 

    Played out there a couple of years ago. It was fun but there wasn’t much of a clubhouse or anything. However, if I could do it again I would have gone a bit farther to Wolf Creek

  4. We had a surprise party at our ranch this weekend for my sister in law’s birthday.  We hired Monica Pope to cater.  She made all these Mediterranean apps for cocktail hour and chicken skewers with steak, simple salad and flash fried Brussel sprouts and cauliflower as sides.  Damn it was a good meal.  
     
    I really like her cooking.  

    That’s pretty cool. Boulevard Bistro was our go-to occasion spot back in the day.
  5. In reference to the lesson discussion: I bought a GolfTec package late last year.  It wasn't cheap, but it's helped immensely.  I know everyone uses video for lessons now, but it's nice to be able to go and practice and video yourself.  It's helped me a ton in self-diagnosis when out on the course.

    My biggest issue was my backswing was so long I was striking the ball inconsistently.  I had to fix my brain to realize what felt like a 1/4 backswing was almost full, and that I didn't need an exaggerated backswing to obtain the same distances.

    The difference in the accuracy in my irons is night and day and my confidence level his way up when hitting any of my clubs.

    Give me some offense. Real offense, not this AAU street ball bullshit that breaks down in the tourney. Going to be really hard to win anything with 52-50 type scores anymore. 

    What ever happened to the inside out game with a big man in the post who can take high percentage shots or dish out for open threes if double-teamed?

    Nidda Thai is now open for takeout. Looks like Voodoo Donuts isn't far behind.

    Thanks, we took out from there Sat night.  The guy who took my order said they were closed for 26 months.  I have to imagine they own the strip center to be able to weather that storm.

  8. I am through the 2nd episode and I agree the jumping around is annoying as shit.  I guess they assumed everyone watching this has already read the books and knows what happens so they don't need to worry about setting the scene?  I'm not sure how long I'll last with this one.

    That being said; Heather Graham is pretty damn hot for 50.

  9. Bagel Bob's across the street from Stratford is very good. The owner is from Queens, so he knows his stuff. 
    Houston Bagel Power Rankings: 
    1) Hot Bagel on Shepherd 
    2a) New York Deli and Coffee Shop in Meyerland
    2b) Bagel Bob's 
    3) Kenny and Ziggy's on Post Oak 
    New York Deli makes the best drip coffee in the city in my opinion. 

    Thoughts on Golden Bagel in the Heights? Aside from the shitty service the bagel isn’t bad.
