Pic Of The Day - 06.01.15 - Sunset Blvd.

It's been awhile since I've posted a sunset photo. It's nice to have an old friend come shining through for you.

Pic(s) Of The - 05.31.15 - Another Birthday

Part of my Sunday was spent reeling from the torrential downpour that happened on Saturday evening and my treacherous trek back The Calvinator's Upper Kirby Crib. Annie was correct. The sun did come out.

Anywho...I made a journey outside of the loop and went to Neon Boots for a joint birthday party for Bill Lidgard and Robert Brooks. It was a Diamond Jubilee celebrating their 75th birthdays.

The dance hall looked really nice. Many of their friends and family showed to honor these two guys who do quite a bit for the Houston LGBT community. And, the event was a benefit for Krewe of Olympus-Texas and ERSICSS.
We (Legacy) purchased the cake and it was dazzling!

More and more my friends are celebrating milestone birthdays. The closer I get to 60, the younger it seems.

On Saturday,before all hell broke loose again with the weather, I stopped by George to celebrate Tank's birthday. It was a large crowd which to me is a testament to Steve's character. Yes, we all could have been doing other things on a Saturday afternoon but when someone like Steve celebrates a birthday and offers free drinks, you make time. He is a good egg.

So a night of wine and conversation was followed by an early morning breakfast at Houston Methodist. The roses that were centerpieces were amazing!

It was one of those days that I was grateful for a several glasses of wine after work. Oh, and it was work-related conversation.

THIS is what I woke up to! Add to this the fact that I had to drive to Beltway 8 and Clay Road for a training session. It was not fun.

I'm not a meteorologist and I don't play one on tv but I think I can spot trouble when I see it coming. You see...

It's been wet not only in Houston but in most parts of Texas. It's been called historic flooding. In 2011, most of Texas was in a severe drought and Lake Travis in Austin has been at record lows. Well, 2015 isn't the same story.

I digress.

Monday, I was watching the forecast and there was a storm system coming from the west but there was also a system coming from the southwest and they were going to collide. The forecast was for the the big storm from the west to just move on through. Wrong.

They collided and stalled right over Houston. It was so bad that The Calvinator awakened me twice to get in bed. And when we woke up on Tuesday, this is what the city looked like.

It was so bad, most businesses closed or delayed opening. Most school districts were closed. People who got caught in it slept in their cars or abandoned their cars
