Mon Sept 25, 2006

This morning I saw my first TV ad for the Texas Renfest - my "home" renfest.

The weather is cool and crisp - a real treat for us. It's perfect "cloak" weather if it stays that way. I think the trainers spoil the Texans - our local football team. Houston's weather is fiercely hot and humid, and if any team has to play in this weather they have to get use to it, but the Texans are spoiled. They train in their air conditioned bubble stadium and have a retractable roof in case the weather is lousy. Not so for the Cowboys. They have a hole in their roof.Teams like Denver have an advantage when someone plays on their turf.

My team lead recommended Mucinex to help get rid of this crud in my chest. His doctor recommended the same stuff for him and prescribed nothing else. I'll try to pick some up tonight.

In my day, school fund-raisers had kids walking from house to house pedaling whatever like peanut brittle or cookies. Here's the latest twist. You can order on-line now. No longer does the kid have to walk door to door carrying candies, cookies or nowadays discount cards. Now you just have to email the website. Now how cool is that?

Dang, that Mucinex does work and in all within an hour. My congestion is gone and this stuff lasts for an hour. Cool!
