Copper, We're not in Texas anymore... oh wait we are

So I'm here in San Antonio, my favorite city in Texas. I actually do like this city a lot, filled with good mexican foods and a really cool down town that kind of is a look at what Chatt may turn itself into if the downtown revitalization is completed. Granted there are plenty of parts of San Antonio downtown that still need a lot of work, but the river walk is quite fun and quite cool.

I feel very odd being here. I've often said I'm not a fan of weddings I'm not in, or in this case, I don't know a soul. My wife's a maid of honor, or i guess matron as she's married to me. So I'm just sitting here, acting as I have termed myself, "Arm Candy." I'm the trophy husband that my wife can show off and say, "Look how well I married..." though people probably look at me and think, "Poor girl. He's pudgy, not rich, and smells a bit gamey."

But oh well, the inlaws came in and we went to lunch at the Alamo Cafe Tortilla Factory. This tortilla factory puts chatt's to shame. Its got some killer tortillas and great fajitas. I overstuffed myself and now am just chilling while the women are congregating downstairs for a lingre/bachelerotte party. Yeah, I'm turning on my md player loud and hoping I don't here a dang thing. I could've hung with the inlaws which would have been fine, but I figure the girls will only be here for an hour or two and then I can go downstairs and watch some cable and be ok.

I'm going to make this a long entry as I have nothing to do and am very bored.

The guy we're staying with, I should say family, is a really cool Christian Lawyer dude. He's pretty much the main guy trying to get Roe v Wade overturned. He presents in front of the Supreme Court next month or so and is hopeful but also a little realistic. If they can get the court to hear the case, which you have to present, they think about it, then if the accept then they'll hear the case. But basically the hope is they'll hear the case and then in a year or two get in there and by then some of the liberal judges will have croaked or something. It could be a great thing if it was overturned, and to hear some of his arguments, he has a million, they're pretty good. Not the obvious ones you might think of.

He was one of the guys that really made me want to be a lawyer, but God sort of had other plans for my life, which I wrestle with but in the end submit to his will as He is God and I can't do much about that, which is a good thing.

Tomorrow I'll probably hang with the in laws and go up to San Marcos, a three mile long out let mall. The thing is monstrous and I should hope to finally find a christmas present for wifey. If I don't there, I'm pretty much hopeless. I've shopped via online for about 4 hours. --The voices of the girls down stairs are getting more high pitched so my time is running short.... SEND HELP!

I wish i had a car I'd go see a movie.. but alas we flew. I told wife I wish we had driven to save moolah and also give me something to do. Welll my time is up!!!
