This has been quite the day. I backed out of the garage at 4:20 this morning heading to MD Anderson in Houston. That is about a 270 mile drive. 10% the way there, or 27 miles, I was at 75 and Mockingbird. Go figure. Ennis was just past the quarter mark on my trip. My appointment was at 10:00 am, and I arrived at 9:30. Not too bad. I did hit some Houston traffic, but the Dallas traffic I deal with seemed worse.
Sunrise was right around Buffalo, Texas. It was kind of fun to see night turn into day.  The sky went from black to a real dark blue to a purple to a light purple to sunlight right in my eyes. I stopped in Madisonville for breakfast with the lights on. I left with my sunglasses on. I also had a pit stop right before hitting the worst part of the Houston traffic. That was timed well. I did not know how smart that actually was.
My two test took about an hour and a half, I spent about an hour exploring different parts of MD Anderson. The people in nuclear medicine seemed a little cranky. I guess they don’t like explorers. All I wanted was some isotopes so that Trey would have something cool at show-n-tell. Sheesh!
After that I drove to the hotel, unfortunately it is a different one from last time. It’ll do. I had lunch at Subway (thanks Life Group) and saw the new James Bond movie. The movie was $7.50 (matinee price) the theater parking was $3, and a small popcorn was $5.75. I skipped the popcorn and drove four blocks away, parked at a strip mall and walked. I still had to pay for the movie though. I then got a cafe mocha grande from Starbuck’s after the movie. I have Starbuck’s card, so the mocha grande was essentially free.
Tonight is Mexican food with Cousin Di then Clone Wars! ttfn
