Yeah…it’s the best one close to where I need to be. It’s fine. Trust me, in my years all over Texas, I’ve stayed in MUCH worse. Love the Schooner. They’re closed on Mondays.
What I'm wondering is....how sad is the Wednesday night steak from the Port Arthur Holiday Inn bar? I'm guessing it's "have half a dozen $5 jack daniels and you won't give a shit" good.
Back in the day, I used to buy a pint from Sasser's grocery in Galveston right before 16 mile road on Saturday morning as we headed down for beach shenanigans. It was my only food for the day, I figured it would soak up a fair amount of cheap beer, and it cost me a buck. I was 16, cut me some slack.
Forgot to add…2 years ago, the boy was third in line at the opening of the Glasgow Popeyes. He was wearing his Popeyes baseball jersey. Head of marketing for Popeyes UK loved it, and gave him these custom Nikes:
Damned good call on Tia Juanita’s. And not JUST because it’s one of the only places open on Labor Day. Boudin balls, small coctel de camaron, small seafood gumbo. All were really good. And I went in to pick it up, place looks great inside. And to think, I could have just eaten here at the Holiday Inn…. Got a nice little view on the drive in.
The boy lives in Europe, and is somewhat caught up in euro fashion trends (god, sometimes he looks silly). But one thing is a constant: Nike Air Force 1's are part of the uniform: He goes through a pair a year, and his peers are wearing them too. Me? I wear old man New Balance shoes, and they're great.
Gotta head to Port Arthur today. Will get there around dinner time. May sit down, may just grab something to take back to hotel (my consultant doesn’t get there till the morning). I am usually going to hit the Schooner for a bowl of gumbo, but I’m open to suggestions.
Wife’s outta town. Friends are otherwise engaged. So, I’ve got three extras, if anyone’s looking to attend a match and hang out with me. I’m delightful company.
Okay, I've got out four tickets for this Wednesday's match. Wife is already out of town at a wedding I'll be joining up with later this week, but I'm here for the match. My friends all have conflicts. Anyone interested in joining me? Section 118.
That 40% of Americans were and are ok with being led by an absolute undeniable fucking lunatic will never not make me smdh. He’s truly mad. That’s not rhetoric or hyperbole. He’s fucking incompetent to run his own affairs. If he was your dad, you’d have taken his keys and all bank access away from him long ago.
