Better Luck Tomorrow

We went out for drinks. I’m so fucking angry… I can’t even handle this. I’m not even gonna tell a story like usual. We went out and had a drink with friends at Better Luck Tomorrow. I wasn’t even hungry! They told me to order the lamb belly. I like…

The Branch

OH GOD! What a TERRIBLE week! Seriously, work was awful. And not just for me. The week was also a meanie to Wife, which is grounds for an ass-whoopin’! I was up all night last night with an emergency at work which was followed immediately by a lovely meeting at…

Hughie’s Tavern & Vietnamese Grille

So Wife and I are new to the area, not just Houston but Texas. This city is massive, especially considering our medium-sized hometown in Michigan. Wife is a big fan of the skyline. Meh… It’s nice. At heart, I’m just a small town boy BORN AND RAISED IN SOUTH DETROOOOIT!!…
