Pub Trivia! ... Houston?

As I have done for many recent Thursday nights, tonight I played pub trivia at Grace O'Malley's with some neighborhood friends. We won, meaning that I ate and drank for free tonight! But, I have to admit, although my father is a letter carrier, I missed a question about ZIP codes. I'm sorry Dad, I could not recall that ZIP was an acronym for Zoning Improvement Plan! I remembered the 'zoning', but the "I" really stumped me. I promise to get it right next time!

Houston
This weekend I will visit the United States' fourth most populous city. Ceebs, Mark, Tracy and I will be watching the Cubs play the Astros on Saturday. On Friday night we'll have a Pink Shirt Night, we're not yet sure what to do with the rest of our time.

I just finished printing off descriptions of some restaurants, bars and lounges from the Houston Chronicle's website. We have to be particularly careful about where we host Pink Shirt Night; I'm concerned that the spirit of Pink Shirt Night will be lost on the Texans. But, after all, one of the goals of Pink Shirt Night is to dispel stereotypes, so maybe we'll open our minds to an appreciation of the Lone Star State.

Below is a picture of one of the heroes of Texas battle for independence from Mexico. I bet Sam Houston would have looked good in a pink shirt, what do "y'all" think?
