YeeHaa


March/Spring has got to be one of the greatest times of the year to be in Houston. Usually, the weather is a clear and sunny 75 degrees during the day while a warm breeze keeps the crisp and cool evenings at a perfect 55. In addition to the great weather, the month of March is Rodeo Houston month-- the largest rodeo in the world. The rodeo is not just about cowboys and bull riding. It is a 20 day event with headlining concert acts each night, International Wine Festivals and dinners, world-class BBQ competitions, carnival and circus rides, charities and an heritage built from all parts of the country.

I have been fortunate enough to enjoy a week off of work. Aside from enjoying the rodeo, here are some other activities that one can only experience in Texas...

I convinced and introduced some pedigree Texans to Guinness and Irish car-bombs on St. Patty's Day by revealing it's close resemblance to Texas Tea...black gold...OIL!

At 2AM after enjoying some Shiner Boch with old work buddies the only place to stop is Whataburger. Get 2 Potato, sausage and cheese Taquitos...you won't be disappointed.

Sit in The Woodlands Park and watch the Red Birds (cardinals) invade people's privacy.

Of course you can golf all year round and every course in the greater Houston area is top-notch.

That's all for now. Speak with y'all soon. Much Love.
