:::Big Thanks Cars & Coffee:::

To Akram, Paulie, Rob and the gang! I had a great time running with y'all, this morning after Cars & Coffee, here in Houston! (H-town)

I can't wait to do it, again. As usual, I was late getting home, and in trouble with my wife. But then again, I give her these wildly optimistic ETA's and I never seem to make them . . . go figure.

Anyway, the car ran great! Everyone else was surprised at how well the car ran, and of course, it looks AMAZINGLY STOCK!!!

Forgive my excitement, we started this project back in November of last year, and today was the first day I finally got to enjoy the car. It was definitely worth the wait, the frustration, and the expense.

Next stop, The Texas Mile!!! See ya'll there!

jbstevens - that's very charitable considering your car is like a whole other class of speed . . . I mean, like, CRAZY FAST. A little reminder that there is always that next level of fast, and there is always someone else already there!

Paulie - I forgot to ask if you got to taste my wife's fudge. She really wanted to know what you guys thought of it. We're thinking of using it as a means to raise money for charity. It has to be GOOD before we get serious.

Also, I hope I did not drive in such a way as to cause anyone to have to avoid hitting me or cause that nice fellow with us to get pulled over -

Thanks to Amar who went out of his way to make me feel welcomed!

Frank, Frank, Frank do you realize what kind of a field day we are going to have with a question like that

In any event, it was good to see everyone...Akram, Rob, and I buried the hatchet by all joining hands and singing Kumbaya.

Almost made up for Paulie ducking me again.

Frank I am not a sweet connoisseur,but the fudge was very sweet & rich. I feel that it would be a great success for the charity.


Sean you were the only one not to show up for the cruise.I guess you are just scared & that is OK.Maybe next time don't hang out at the cupcake store.

You should have seen the chica I met at the Cup Cake store...she asked me to hold her place and then wanted me to hold her cupcake....I am not making this up.

If only I weren't married, sigh.

Since when does that matter? She only asked you to save her place so she could go find the manager & tell him about the perv.(that would be you) bothing her.
