Super Bfowl Sunday

Can we pick 'em or what? We are in Amarillo and woke up this AM to SNOW! Emily says temp in Houston is 70. We decided to stay another night here at the Drury. Will go down for happy hour tonight, score some beer and junk and watch the game in the room. Dinner last night at the Big Texan Steakhouse, which has been featured several times on the Travel Chanel. If you can eat their 72 oz steak and fixin's in less than an hour, the meal is free. They seated us up front near the platform where a young man was taking the challenge - and he won in 54 minutes. Young man, around 5'7" and maybe 150 lbs. Our steaks were substantially smaller: good taste, well prepared, but the meat cutter does not know how to trim. Many years ago, Pete Sherman and I were at a steakhouse in Indy and they offered a similar challenge. We looked at the details and price, decided against the challenge, but if we ordered it and split it, the price was right. Then the waitress told us it would take a few hours to prepare the meat. We passed. Weather permitting (or, as my Grandmother used to say: Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise), we will head for Lubbock tomorrow.
