What I remember (in 2024)
Flew down to Houston on my own on 22 August, to spend a long weekend with Saffa and Gretchen, for his birthday again.
Quieter than last year's revelry. On Saturday morning we drove an hour down to Galveston. Saf and I checked it all out, while Gretchen was running a half marathon. On Saturday night we dinner at Fogo de Chao with a group of Saffa's friends. He did declare this his favorite restaurant in the world. It was my first time at a Brazilian Steakhouse, and it was excellent.
On Sunday, Saf reluctantly took me to NASA. I thought it was amazing and could have stayed all day. SAffa, on his millionth visit to Houston's premier tourist spot, was no longer impressed.
On a side note, 19 days after I left Galveston was hit by Hurricane Ike and completely devastated the area. I remember seeing photos and footage and not recognizing the town we'd been in 3 weeks prior.
