We have a new flask. Instead of needing a funnel, you can open the top and pour it in. For some reason, I thought of sbm12 ;)

I may need it for my oustide relaxation hour during ballet today.

I'm a fan of the first half of the book. The second half gets very slow and very boring, IMO. But the first half was great. One of my first reads on my Kindle. ^

:o I'm honored.

I rarely use a funnel; I'm a very steady hand when it comes to filling the flask. Not so much after emptying it, though.

+1 was there for work for about 9 months in the late 90's. Nothing to write home about.

:D

This one is 5 oz, which is a bit better than my 1 oz keychain flask ;)

I like the Leander area.

I just think I've reached a point where I'm either going to live in a very urban environment or completely out in the sticks. I grew up in suburbia and had a bad taste left in my mouth.

I could see myself living in AUS; SAT not sure. I like going there for a weekend, but not sure beyond that. Plus1 was in DAL for 7 years. I was certain that's where I was moving to. I'd spent a lot of time in DAL over the years, so I knew the city fairly well. I knew nothing about IAH, but am much happier living here than I ever would have been in DAL.

Suburbia has it's ups and downs. A friend visited from NJ and couldn't believe how stepford wifeish my neighborhood was (on the weekend she visited, we had a block party). I'm unusual because I work. And travel for work. There are lots of mommies here who have never left their kid for a night and think I'm a horrible mother for not being here every moment of every day. And they certainly don't understand taking a vacation without kids :rolleyes: I'm old enough that I just don't care what anybody thinks.

Yes, you know they do.

Actually March and early April are usually the best months in Houston. It's usually very nice out, with temperatures that are very pleasant and low humidity. If Houston had March weather 6-9 months of the year, it would be a great place to live.

Anytime; happy to share. Nope, no return yet.

Even if you are not a leisure traveler.
Was stuck in EWR over the snow period (2/24) and had to camp out in a Hampton Inn. My Diamond got me....nada, nicht, nyet. When I asked in the AM if being an elite meant anything, the dest clerk just shrugged his shoulders.

Unlike the North Coast, Houston is the best in Spring and Fall. Unfortunately, you know what is coming after Spring and it is not pretty.

Spring on the North Coast is without a doubt the worst time of year. Cold (40's) clammy and wet with melting snow creating mud everywhere. Just dreadful.

I still miss living in Houston. Living in Atlanta isn't all its cracked up to be by any means and that's part of the reason we're looking to eventually move. Houston has a lot of areas where it can improve, but at least it's a city that's trying to work on those issues, and has been improving in many areas for a long time. Atlanta suffers from the same half-@$$ed attempts at fixing things that most of the cities in the Deep South suffer from.

Aren't you supposed to get a bottle of water and pack of Oreos? Or did you accept bonus points instead?
