Lunch with Heath Pearce

Travis — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 03:45:08 +0000

The City of Frisco held an auction to benefit the Haiti earthquake relief efforts. There were a dozen or so celebrities that you could bid on and I was the high bidder on Heath Pearce. For those of you who don’t know, he’s a soccer player currently playing for FC Dallas. He’s been called up for national duty 31 times and has a pretty good chance of making the squad for this year’s World Cup.

We went to Babe’s Chicken in Frisco. If you haven’t been, you need to go. Great food. Make sure you’re hungry when you go – they do it family portion style.

Heath’s a funny guy and I enjoyed just shooting the breeze with him. Good times.

Pit Stop at the Alamo

Jon, Brenda, and I made a pit stop in San Antonio on the way to Laredo today. As I write this, the Allen Americans are down 4-1 after the 2nd period. Hopefully I’ll be able to update this post later to say they pulled it back and won.

Edit: They didn’t. Allen lost 5-1 in a horrible performance.

Edit 2: I just noticed I’m wearing the same shirt as my last post! I promise, I *do* have more than one t-shirt! LOL

Times Square

When I landed in New York yesterday, I drove into the city to pick up 2 coworkers before driving up to Connecticut.

First day of spring

I was wearing shorts yesterday. Monday’s forecast shows upper 60s. This is now:

Sign for Brandon Straub

I drew this tonight. Should I have 1″ buttons made and pass them out, or should I just make a sign? I’m thinking buttons

Popcorn!

The Americans are up 2-0 after the first period. Brenda celebrates:

Couch Surfers

Travis — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:19:59 +0000

I saw a post on the “Last Minute Couch” community from a couple of students who needed a place to stay, so I offered up Casa de la Bell for the night. Mohammed and Gwen are on their spring break from the University of Memphis and they’re doing a 5-state road trip, surfing along the way. Gwen and her whole family are involved in Couch Surfing back home in France, so she was no stranger to the Couch Surfing Project, but this trip was Mohammed’s first experience. He said he’s been loving it so far. They were both very friendly and fun to talk to, but we didn’t get to spend much time around each other since it was a weekday.

The Couch Surfing Project never ceases to amaze me. I don’t know of a community you can join that exposes you to a more diverse group of cultures. It’s always so interesting – learning about the places other people live, their culture, their interests…their lives. I’ve never met anyone from Jordan before, much less heard them talk about what it’s like to live there.

Amazon!!

I got a nice parting gift in the mail from Bank of America today. It won’t regain my business, but I’ll take it!
(I already applied it to my account, so don’t bother stealing the number)

Jarret Lukin

The players all went to Boston’s after the game and I got Lukin to sign my jersey.
