Even as we speak....... :rocker:
Tapped a new bottle of Evan Williams for the occasion.
It's off to bed, however, after this glass is done.
Happy New Year Gwedd. From my time in El Paso, I developed a taste for Wild Turkey 101, but I sure do appreciate a smooth EW now and then.
From what I hear Makers Mark is now the trendy bourbon down there.
When you move, if you order a bourbon and water in a restaurant, be sure to call it a bourbon and branch. Apparently, branch water is spring water down there.
To me, the best thing about Texas was the ample real estate. Land is so abundant and cheap, the builders can put a lot more into the house. Major bang for your buck.
I found that half the people that I met there, were from somewhere else, so don't worry about fitting in. You may want to brush up on your Spanish though, since Hispanics are in the majority.
Football is king down there, and the Cowboys fans, though insufferable at times, do know and respect a good team when they see one.
You can always get a dish with NFL Sunday Ticket to see all the Pats games, and the internet provides all the Pats local news you'll ever want, so you won't feel too isolated.
And be forewarned, they say it's a " dry heat ", but triple digit temps are still friggin' insane. You won't be spending much time outdoors in July and August.
