It's rodeo time in Houston. Cowboys, cowgirls and cowpokes of all sorts are roaming the streets of The Bayou City.
Today was the parade which was preceded by Conoco Rodeo Run 10k and 5k. I have not done this run since 2006 and I the last time I ran 6.2 miles, W was the President.
A group of decided to dress for the occasion. Many thanx to John Cox for documenting the pre-race hoopla.
As I stated on Facebook, in the photos we look like we're having fun. However, the 10k course takes you up and down the Elysian Viaduct going out and coming back and I sure wasn't enjoying running at that point.
More photos later of the horses that traveled through NoRO. Oh...and yes, I wore that hat for the entire run.

Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Yes. Today is Monday!
My day started off with a dead car battery. Two of five people in my office called in sick today. National Tire & Battery took FOREVER to replace the car battery. Today was NOT the day for slow service. If it weren't for RuPaul's Drag Race on the telly tonight, I'd probably be in bed by now with the covers pulled over my head.

Mystery & Fantasy Mardi Gras Party 2009
Last night's theme was Mysteries of Aladdin & His Magic Lamp. The party started at 6p.m. and before the doors opened the guests had already started to arrive.
Based on photos, phone calls, emails and text messages it seems that everyone had a good time. I really enjoy being a part of this group. It's fun to throw a party for no reason other than throwing a party.
We are all invited to galas & fundraisers and we're expected to write a check for a cause. That doesn't happen at this party.
Yea, you have to dress up in black tie or costume but all we ask is that you have a good time.
Enjoy the photos! I may have more later for you.
