We have spent the last couple of days hanging out with my brother Travis and his girlfriend Emily in Houston. The outer edges of hurricane Alex hit us yesterday and today, so the weather has been pretty nasty, with lots of downpours and thunderstorms. We have spent a lot of time in Trav’s apartment hanging out and watching movies. Yesterday we went to the health museum in Houston, which was entertaining, and today we went to an early showing of Knight and Day which at least held our attention. Also yesterday was a trip to Ikea to get some stuff that Trav needed, and then we had an entertaining dinner at the Maddock’s. I have a cold, which has been kind of disappointing, especially when we went to Niko Niko’s for lunch yesterday and the Maddocks for dinner, I couldn’t really taste anything, but based on the number of people in the restaurant and Julie’s reaction to the food, it must have been good. Because of the weather, all our outdoor plans are changing, so we are still deciding what to do the next couple of days. Tonight a bunch of people are coming to Trav’s apartment to watch Book of Eli, so that should be fun.
