Laborless Labor Day

Labor Day is usually a coveted three-day weekend by people that have jobs but since I am still unemployed it was just another day. Nevertheless, Micah had the day off and his wife was at school so we decided to spend it together.

He came into Kingwood for lunch. I cooked some sausage on the grill and we had that on tortillas with corn on the side. Always one of our favorites, Carpe Meatus! After my dad yelled at me for not helping him powerwash the driveway, we elected to leave the premises.

The Astros were playing an afternoon game so we decided to go get some $5 tickets. As luck had it, a man at the gate had two extra tickets and gave them two us. We didnt' really want to sit with them though so we snuch into some cool seats on the left field porch. Eventhough we weren't hungry, it was dollar hot dog day so we had to buy a few. The Astros romped on the Reds. We saw three homers in one inning and the pitcher hit a two run shot the next inning. When we left in the 8th the 'stros were winning 11-1.

Micah lives really close to the park. On our walk home we decided to stop into the neighborhood corner store. We bought a six-pack of Miller High Life 16 oz. and landed ourselves poolside at his apartment. The sun was hot on that September afternoon and we were living... the High Life.

I'd like to mention my new Alex Wood Quotable Moment. We saw a girl at the pool pouring a Dos Equis into a cup for her boyfriend. Although I was jealous a bikini clad lady wasn't pouring my drinks, I don't think Dos Equis should be served in a pink plastic cup. In imitation of the boyfriend I shook my head and said, "Baby, that ain't the High Life." ... guess you had to be there.

After the sun was down, we went up to the apartment and a spaghetti dinner with Jacy while we watched Seinfeld reruns. I cannot get enough of that show. I was meeting Jenn for coffee at seven so I split after the dinner. I know Micah and Jacy had things to attend to. Jenn and I sat at Brasil and talked for three hours. She's moving to New York on Friday so we talked about that and life in general. Hopefully I'll follow her up there soon.
