weekend
Beer and Probability
I took up a friend on joining her at a West Galveston beach house this past weekend. I used the opportunity to get down there a little early and check out the Board Game Island and to ride my bike around the town and the sea wall. Board Game Island is a cafe a few blocks off the Strand that has many board games for its visitors to borrow while there.
I had a nice sandwich while there, though they were out of bacon, what’s up with that? They also serve beer and coffee. The beer selection was a bit minimal, and the St. Arnold Weedwacker was server almost room temperature in the bottle (likely due to the face that the waitress was quite young an unfamiliar with beer – though she did know to offer some that weren’t listed in the menu.)
Spring’s a Sprung
Despite some of our late spring cool blasts that have dropped our weather into the 50s at points through April, spring has arrived in Houston. It was a fabulously beautiful day today, and this weekend is packed to the brim with events.
Saturday
There was one major event on saturday that I’ll be missing. It’s a crawfish boil at a friend’s house in the Northern Heights (above 20th street). I love crawfish, and it’s an easy bike, but my social calendar was already booked when it showed up. Also being missed, there’s a Day of Derby going on at Houston Indoor Sports.

I, of course, grew up loving the Columbia Blue “Love ya Blue” Houston Oilers. As I’ve aged, and the number of hours in a day seems continually less available, many of my … Read more
Live Music: It’s Been a While
Despite the fact that I’ve been working across the street from the Continental Club for six months, and now own a store at the same place, I haven’t seen a lot of live music recently. I’ve been out for Molly & the Ringwalds (work), and for Peter & James and Light Rock Express, which tend … Read more
Bill’s iPod Spends a Night on the Town
As most people know, I don’t have a cell phone. You people don’t call me as it is; you don’t need more access to me. When I head out the door, I do usually take me iPod Touch with me. If you’re unfamiliar with those, they are just like the iPhone but with no phone … Read more
