What is Culture??

So I feel that I have been pretty multi-cultural the past couple of weeks but so often when you hear people talk about culture they limit their definition to things like opera and museums. So what do you think it means? I'm curious to know. Either way, I've had a great time the past couple of weeks, here is a list of the events:

Roger Creager is a great Texas Country artist. Writes great songs and always puts on a good show. One thing I enjoy is that he really seems to be enjoying himself.

The next night we went to the TUTS performance of Les Mis. I had never seen it before, The Wife had seen it 3 times and The Sister had seen it twice. It was a really good show. Also, before the show we ate at a German Restaurant called The Old Heidelberg in the Galeria area. At least I think that's the area it was in. I won't say it was like being in Germany but it was still good.

The next weekend we went to Wrestlemania 25 at Reliant Arena. There were almost 73,000 people there. I have been a wrestling fan for a loooong time and this was a great show and a great experience. I have to thank The Wife since the tickets were awesome and they were a Christmas gift.

Then this past Monday I went to the Astros opening day game. I think this is the 3rd year in a row that we have gone. No, we didn't win but we were there supporting the team and there's still 167 games to go so there is plenty of time to catch up.

So this has been a couple of great weeks. Does it count as culture, maybe I don't care if it does or not because they were all fun and I had a great time.

Tag.........I'm it

So for the past 6 months or so The Wife and I have been pretty stressed out with getting the house rebuilt and put back together and all of our friends have been great at being supportive and helping us out. 

Well now I think it is my turn to be there for our friends and family. In the past week the Sister has has been dealing with some nerve racking medical issues, just tests, nothing worth worrying about has been found; 2 of our close friends have lost or been notified that they are losing their jobs; another close friend had to break off his engagement; another friend is battling breast cancer and 2 more are currently pregnant. Yes the pregnancies are happy things but they still are a huge life changing event. 

Now it is our turn to give back some of that help and support that has been shown to us the past few months so if anyone needs anything feel free to let us know and we will be there.........just like all of you have been for us.
