We're struggling to get going after quite a lazy day yesterday. We got up late on Saturday and tried to hit Denny's near-by for breakfast.
On the way out of the hotel we arranged to stay Sunday night for Monday check-out. We can't get a reservation after that here so we'll need to find other accommodations somehow.
At Denny's the 30 minute wait seemed too much. We wandered RiverWalk drinking a bloody mary and a strawberry margarita ... well, it was 11:30 by then, after all. We had a nice fight over where to eat then decided to eat next to the river at Landry's Seafood. It turned out to be a good choice. Wife had redfish with scallops and I had a monster seafood salad. A nice bottle of Buena Vista chardonnay was perfect with it.
We went back to hotel and just flaked out for the next several hours -- watched a stupid movie or two. The housekeepers came about 4pm and we went downstairs for a drink in the bar and nibbled some snacks. We went back up to the room and that was it for the night. We never even made it out for dinner.
So now it's Sunday morning. We're not getting much news about Houston, but it doesn't look good. It doesn't appear that they've gotten much if any of the power restored. I've not received any news on how Chevron's building fared. I just got a text message from a work colleague saying, "Stay where you are. Power out. Cell phones spotty. Trees down everywhere."
Looks like we'll be at Hotel Gridley (i.e., our friends' house) tomorrow night, if he'll have us.
