Deep in the Heart of Texas

We have a pretty good road trip rhythm going right now, and by that I mean that we stay in one place just long enough to get a little tired of it, and then we move on. This is our third and final day in Houston, and it turned out to be rather disastrous. We woke up late, so we didn't get in time to the Astros game until they ran out of the free t-shirts they were handing out. And then we left the game and remembered that we didn't take the key to get back into the house we've been staying at. But after driving around in the heat for a few hours, we were able to find the spare, and now all is well.

I guess it isn't that bad of a day, all things considered. But then again, it doesn't really compare to yesterday. The game itself yesterday was uneventful. Thankfully TGF hair salon was able to spice it up for us. TGF was giving $5 hair cuts for charity at the stadium, but don't jump to conclusions yet. Yes, I did get my hair cut, but I was also one of three contestants last night to be given a "makeover" in the auxiliary team room, which is like the dungeon of the entire stadium. We were put on the jumbo tron during after the 5th inning so that we could be judged by the fans. The contestant that the fans liked the most received two Suite Level tickets. Unfortunately, I didn't win. I got beat out by a younger kid that got a mohawk and the Astros' star shaved into the side of his head. Oh well, I got a free hair cut, two consolation tickets and a great story to tell. And we will have pictures for you as soon as we get to a spot where my laptop gets internet.

Next spot is New Orleans. No there aren't any major league teams there, but we will settle for some good jambalaya.
