Ten Cent Beer Night! (A great idea 35 years ago in Cleveland) (& More)

Yesterday marked the 35th anniversary of the genius marketing folks with the Cleveland Indians. With the promotion double the people showed up to see the awesome Indians (to put it in perspective, the tribe hasn't won a World Series since 1948...so you can imagine they were just as bad as they are this year!). Cheap drinks led to everyone getting drunk, getting violent, and eventually a forfeit! Oye. You can read about it at:

Anyways, tonight Debbie and I are headed out for a "Six" party (not quite the real name), as we are celebrating six birthdays in June...Debbie, Carol, Jenn, JR, Hilary, and Will. After dinner at Chuey's we are headed over to The Ginger Man, in Rice Village, for some good beer and fun.

Lastly, today I did some refresher training at the Houston Area Contractor's Safety Council. In the course, they say, just after a slide about what forklifts are, "this training does not qualify you to operate a forklift." Really...what kind of idiot thinks one slide makes them qualified...wow.
