Well we just piced up a bunch of crabs from Alex's in Pirates Beach.

Taking my first stab at BBQ Crabs. It's either going to be great or ghastly.

If they are too bad we can always head over to Cyrstal Beach. They are having a Crab Festival today and tomorrow.

What about the birds?!?

Why y'all gotta be hatin on the birds?

Being world class means you must have cute crap in the CBD?

Pretentious?

Can I get an obnoxious?

Downtown Macy's is super busy during lunch. I bought a couch there a few months ago.

Apple stores are so Emo. I just don't get it.

What downtown Houston needs is something that no other part of town has. What that is I am not sure, but I really don't see it being retail.

Although I have been wishing for a "high-end" office supply. A place where you can buy a collectible pen set and some executive gifts, etc.

It's sand. They have plants, lillies, etc. that have been planted but they have not take root yet.

There seems to ALWAYS be someone on top of 2 Shell. I love day dreaming during a meeting and watching those dudes.

There have been three to four guys up there all week.

On a related note, last week guys were putting solar panels on top of City Hall Annex. They are not wired yet.

How I love my view!

The future is now my friend.

It is unfolding right before your eyes. Don't let it pass you by.

If you could have seen downtown back in my clubbing days. Oy.

Getting to Power Tools was an exercise in urban warfare.

Sometimes I wish we would just accept downtown for what it is: A place for business, business related activities and special events.

We are so focued on making downtown Houston look like other downtowns we can't see the forest for the trees.

Think how much there is to do a stone's throw from downtown.

Well there is still a Payless Shoe Store downtown across from the old Palis Royal (CVS).

There are also flower places on Fannin before you get to Sears.

The "N" word.

Depending on who says it it's either a compliment, a term of endearment or an insult.

What if an Asian called a Pakistani and "N" while he threw a rock at him?

Is that a hate crime?

Can only certain peole be "Ns"?

That angled building looks a lot like the angled empty lot after you pass under 59.

Whatever happened to the land Metro bough down this way that was going to be mixed use?

These sounds similar.

They planned this garage before they even secured new tennants. Not the other way around.

Funny you say that, editor.

So far they have only cleand 1/2 our conference room windows.

I sure don't want the govt. protecting me from bad words.

My kindergarten teacher told me "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me".

The tale of two Heights. As always.

Speaking of the "N" word, one of Obama's top priorities will be increased hate crime enforcement.

Hang on to your assets Heights residents.

Expand Hate Crimes Statutes

Obama will strengthen federal hate crimes legislation and reinvigorate enforcement at the Department of Justice's Criminal Section.

If they are afraid of the heat they will be back in November ;-)

The 90s are nothing. Temperature is all relative.

You can run but you can't hide, so why fight it?

Should we all stay insdie? Or perhaps the answer is a quick dip in Kinder Lake.

Speaking of which, this week they are cleaning 1100 Lousiana for the first time in the three years that I am aware of.

While across the street at Well Fargo they clean the windows all the time.

Is there even anything to do in PA?

$400K attracts a crowd that likes to dine out, etc. Seems a bit steep.

The only re-orgs I am seeing are as a result of acquisitions. Everyone is swapping assets.

My thougts are the author of that article was "playing stupid" with an agenda to prove.

Amateur hour auditions are closed.

Coworkers in the UK said family members had to wait one year for a CAT Scan.

Betty Maldanado gets my vote!

Johnny Matta is pizzed!
