The Houston Sports Collectible Autograph show is quickly becoming my token birthday gift every year. This is the second year in a row that I have gotten autographs at this show. Last year I got Terry Bradshaw's autograph, and also got Dick Butkus' for my Dad. The one autograph that I had to have this year was Joe Montana. John Elway was tempting, but who could pass up getting to meet Joe?We had originally planned for the entire family to travel to Houston. But after some thought, I decided that Gavin probably wouldn't have too much fun riding in the car for 10 hours. So, I left Miranda and G at home and drove to Houston this morning. Everything was going smoothly until I hit the south side of Dallas and realized that I forgot my phone at home. I decided to travel on even though I have heard that traveling is almost impossible without a cell phone....Really though, I was fine without a phone all day. I saw 550 miles of this today:
Joe Montana was as nice of a person as you could ask for. He seemed very happy to talk to the people for who he was signing. He shook hands, made small talk, and thanked everyone for coming to get his autograph. It was the kind of experience that you always hope to have when meeting one of your childhood idols.
I had one other errand to run while in Houston. I was supposed to pick up a faucet set for the bathroom that I found on EBay. It didn't go quite as planned. The address that I was given didn't exist - the address was for an elementry school. So after hunting for the place, I gave up and headed back home - faucetless...Other highlights of the road trip included:
Passing the gigantic Sam Houston statue
A rainbow amid all the rain - no pot of gold was found.
Buc-ee's "world famous" gas station. It's only famous because you have to go through 200 miles of billboards before you get to it....
