October 27, 2012 A Very Full Day

The best place for breakfast in San Antonio is a diner in the barrio called the "Blanco Cafe".  I had breakfast tacos which were soooooo good.  We go to the Blanco just about every time we are in San Antonio.  The place is culturally authentic just like the food.


After breakfast, we went shopping for, what else, jeans for CB.  By the end of the shopping trip, we had purchased a lot more than jeans!  Everyone got something (I got some slippers!) and CB got lots of things.

It was beer time, or a little past, by the time we were done shopping so we headed to the Flying Saucer for beer and pretzels.  You could buy a glass and "vote" for president.  As you see, Obama was leading Romeny.  This means a couple of things.  First, Democrats drink more and second, Democrats drink more.


We went tailgating where we drank beer and ate hotdogs before the homecoming  game.

I may or may not have been involved in an incident with this police officer.

I'm not telling.


Four years ago, University of the Incarnate Word got a football team.  Naturally, that means that they had their first homecoming game.  CB and I have gone to each homecoming game so we have enjoyed watching a tradition being born.

Unfortunately, the team is more form than substance.  They ran on to field through an inflatable Cardinal head, into a wall of fog, appearing on the other side pumped up and ready for battle.

Except that they weren't all that prepared for battle.  And got the shit kicked out of them.

The beer was cold and the moon was full.

It was a perfect evening for football.  Or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
