Calories listed on food are actually kilocalories. So that's a lot of cocktails.

So your position is that we need to drink more cold cocktails. @:-)

Left leg is healing nicely. The right leg seems to be improving, but I am still worried about infection.

I'm thinking there is no beer at home and we won't be home until after the 7-11 closes

I am headed to the river in two weeks. We rented a condo on the Comal. I am going to try 18 holes in the morning and 2 tubing runs in the afternoon. It will be interesting. I will for sure not forget the sun lotion. ^

I think the problem is that the sun tan lotion didn't work so body armour is in order

For some reason I am not a huge fan of the BLL. I do not know why either
