154 Days, 18 Cities, 5 Countries, 4 Currencies, 3 Continents

I just added it up, by the time I get home next Tuesday night I will have spent 154 days on the road this year in 18 different cities (assuming I did not miss any). That is a lot of time to not sleep in my own bed. Where have I been...

San Jose - 17 times
Vegas - 5 times
Dallas - 2 times
London
Cork (Ireland)
Rome
Singapore
St. Louis
New Orleans
Orlando
Washington D.C.
New York
Chicago
Los Angeles
Atlanta
Denver
Fredericksburg (TX)
Horseshoe Bay (TX)

Have no fear once I get back to Austin next week I get to spend two whole weeks at home. Before setting off to San Jose again and then Jamaica....here we go again...

It is a Important Question

20

How many can you take on?

Remember when

Rite Aid was Thrifty's
The Dodger's won The World Series
Computer Monitors were green and black
Pam Anderson was hot
Movies cost $5
45's were the shit
A cup of coffee was easy to order
McDonald's was considered a decent place for a family dinner
Video games only cost a quarter
That same quarter got you 5 balls on a pinball game
A 40oz of Old E cost 99 cents
Betty said that post of pictures with words was not an official blog post
GKR had heat

Go hit JD up for a loan...

But hurry before the machines take it back.

Temporary insanity

At first I chalked up my the decision to experiment today to my frustration and envy over JD heading to Vegas next weekend to participate in the WBPT without me. I was in tears as I thought about him hanging out with the likes of Betty, and Joe. The only positive though I could muster was that maybe, just maybe the honor of him meeting Dr. Pauly will occur when he is presented with the prize for being the first player knocked out of the tourney.

After I thought about it for a few minutes though, I realized the reason for being so emotional, I was sober while watching College Football

I had to remedy this immediately, but I didn't have enough beer to make it through Hawaii v. Washington. A trip to the neighborhood liquor store was in order. As I let my gaze wander through the glass, hoping beyond hope that Mr. Grewald had finally heeded my request to start stocking The Champagne of Beers, I spotted the can in the picture below. That's right, Budweiser and Clamato, con sal y limon! I figured if my brown brothers from south of the border mixed this stuff up as a hangover remedy, it might be suitable for late morning imbibing. Boy was I wrong. The only thing this stuff is suitable for is as a replacement for ipecac syrup.

Fortunately, my day got better, as I nursed a few familiar cold ones, and watched another crazy day of college football. As for the WBPT, I have decided since JD is bringing a broad along, I am better off not being there, (I hate having to apologize for stealing his women) and it looks like i will be spending next weekend working again anyway.

mmm Popcorn!

Vegas baby, Vegas

Wow what a night, we started off with some D&B happy hour. Which included trivia contests, pop a shot, and skee ball. Then we moved on to drunken bowling at the local shit hole bowling alley. Oh then it was time to go to 6th street to watch the The English Beat and finally ended with late night 1-2 poker. I am just a little hung over but about to go to Spec's with Crackhead and spend the day watching college football, the LAST Saturday of college football this year.

In just a few days I will be going to VEGAS. Betty laid the guilt on pretty thick, and it is the WPBT. So Vegas hear I come! I did have to make some concessions, I was supposed to spend the weekend with R, (something about Napa) So she is coming, and I agreed to take her to see Ka. But for a weekend in Vegas, I think I made out well. And most importantly Betty is thrilled (last longer bet?)! And I will get to meet a bunch of blog writers I read regularly so I am excited (Pauly thanks for the tips)

Prop bets anyone?
