An interesting and fun day; started out with getting up late, though.

It didn't really matter, though.

After I was dressed and fed and coffee'd I walked (slowly)the 1/4 mile to the train station by Reliant Park. The train arrived and I stepped on, money in hand... and nobody to give it to. More on that later.

It was a really nice way to get downtown to the Museum District... no fuss, no hassle.

I just went to the "Natural Science" museum, and they had a nice exhibit... plus about 10,000 grade-school kids.

Before long, though, most of the kids went somewhere else.

Most of their exhibits were things that I'd seen before, but still interesting. Unfortunately, many of the light bulbs describing the exhibits were burned out or just not turned on... I ranked that as pretty poor.

The gem and jewelry exhibit was very good, though... but the same problem with the lights, but this time I didn't really know what I was looking at, pretty as it was.

The descriptions are mounted in light boxes, and the letters are white on black... so without the light, you got nuthin'.

I was worn out in about four hours, and headed back towards the train, and I found out that you picked up your tickets at the stations. I used my bank card to get three... one for the trip back and two for tomorrow.

JD told me later that it doesn't work that way, a ticket is only good for a day. O'well.

By the time I got back to JD's I was very tired, and I had a coupla beers and relaxed.

JD got home about 18:30, and we plotted the night: meet his girl friend at a Mexican Cafe and then hit a local Karaoke bar.

The food was excellent and the Karaoke bar was quite fun, I really enjoyed it, although I didn't get up and sing, even though JD tried his best. Next time, next time. Maybe.

Today's picture... JD and Heather. Good-lookin' people, and really nice, too!

It was a late night, and it's time for a nap.
