I guess there isn’t much to tell in terms of traveling today. Most of the day was spent on the campus of TCU for the festivities surrounding the football game against Kansas. I made my way to the parking lot of Paschal High School around 8 AM and then walked to the football stadium. It was a little over a mile, so no big deal. I have to admit that the tailgate scene at TCU was weak, compared to the other places I’ve been. It’s mainly been SEC schools, so maybe that’s not a fair comparison. I will say that the free swag scene around the stadium was amazing. They have a string of tents set up called Frog Alley, which is also where the football team arrives and walks through to get to the stadium. ... read more

A weekend in Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas - rodeo and all ...... read more

What a great overnight trip!! You get to ride the train and spend time in a culturally-rich area the we usually tend to overlook. Ft. Worth is just down the road to our south. The Chisolm Trail came right through what is now downtown Ft. Worth, and of course, the Stockyards area. Fron the train station, we boarded a city bus for a short fifteen minute ride through downtown to Stockyards. The bus dropped us only two blocks from our hotel, the Hyatt Place just across from the historic coliseum. After checking in, we headed down the street to Riscky's BBQ for lunch. Great ribs, slaw and potato salad for $10. Our next adventure was attending a historic re-enactment of Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show. While Pawnee Bill's original show had three separate performing troups with ... read more

How any traveller can think about Fort Worth's Water Gardens and not mention Jenny Agutteris past me. Jenny Agutter starred in the film "Logan's Run." The Fort Worth Water Gardens (above) are the dated yet futuristic spot where the escapees in Logan's Run popped up out from when they were escaping. Jen wore a tmarvellous flowing skimpy thing in most of the scenes in Logan's Run. Seeing that I'm a curvy hip man myself, that skimpy thing and, more to the point, Jenny in that skimpy thing, did it for me. Big time. I couldn't stop thinking about Jenny when I visited the Fort Worth Water Gardens. Being sixteen years old may have had something to do with it. From that moment of standing and "just being" in a revered urban waterscape movie set, from that ... read more

I got off work Friday (13th) and was in the mood to just read. I went to the Library checked out some books and had decided that was what I wanted to do this weekend just chill and read. It was about 1 A.M when I finished one of the books. I was looking forward to sleeping in Saturday morning. I woke up Saturday morning at 8 and thought about trying to go back to sleep. I laid there a little bit then decided to get up and go to the Stockshow Parade in Fort Worth. I had looked it up on the internet earlier in the week and knew it started at 11. I thought about calling a friend to see if they wanted to go too but figured everyone was still asleep so decided ... read more
