Every where I turn their is something weird to gock at. Whether it's an armadillo or a 80' tall cement Beatles, Strange Gang signs or even stranger; a dog in Kellie's house!
At the University Of Houston (Brigham's work) the hand sign "The Cougar Paw" is not the gang sign I thought it was, but a lame excuse for the rule; if you can't fight em' laugh with them. 
The Cougar Paw is a popular hand sign used by University of Houston students, faculty, alumni, and athletics fans to represent camaraderie and support. The Cougar Paw tradition was adopted through several athletics events between the University of Houston and The University of Texas. The first time UH played UT in football was in 1953, and since this was their first meeting, members of Alpha Phi Omega, the service fraternity in charge of taking care of Shasta I, the university's mascot, brought her to the game. During the trip, Shasta's front paw was caught in the cage door and one toe was cut off. At the game, members of the opposing team discovered what had happened and began taunting UH players by holding up their hands with the ring finger bent. UT went on to win this game 28–7, and UH students began using the sign as notice that they would remember the taunts. In 1968, at their second meeting, the Cougars, holding up the now-adopted symbol of UH pride, played UT to a 20–20 tie. UH did not play UT again until 1976, the first year UH was a member of the Southwest Conference. In front of a record crowd, UH defeated UT 30–0. This solidified the use of the Cougar Paw as a tradition.[50]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Houston
Rexie is the most mellow golden lab I have even seen. He is unbelievably sweet and I am still trying to thinking of ways to smuggle him into my suitcase.
We went out to the ball game. Astros vs. Padres. Nice stadium and great fire works.I can't remember the last time I spent the day at an elementary school, but I did today. We had lunch with the kids. The first day in Houston I asked Abbie & Grant to recommend one thing we should do. Grant suggested we check out the Panda Express and try the Orange Chicken. and Abbie wanted us to come to her school and have lunch with her. Our plan was to kill two birds with one stone but Grants lunch is at an Un-Godly hour and Panda was not open yet, so Subway had to do. Next time we will do Panda.
Grant & Justin at the Loud Lunch. I was there too plugging my ears...
Abbie & Alisha at the much quieter and civilized lunch hour (well until little Jimmy started to gross out all the girls by dunking all his food in milk and making a mess)
E. Clair's 2nd Birthday was an event to remember. Of all the toys and clothes the ball was the big hit.
Look at the QT. If only she loved me from more than afar.
The 3rd, 4th and 5th grade put on their Fine Arts assembly today. Choir, Recorder, Percussion, Poetry, Dance, and African Drum's kept our attention for 1 1/2 hours the the other 1/2 hour is a blur to me now.
Abbie's Big stage debut in Beauty and the Beast. She made the most wonderful Belle.
My favorite scene "Be Our Guest"
The voice of an angle recorded by the steady hand of Me. I wish I would have had a drink or 2 with dinner so I could at least blame it on that.
