Schlumberger sent Alvin to Houston for a 6-week class on oil resevoir characterization, so Miles and I tagged along. To Houston, not the class. The worst part is the heat\humidity combination, but the best part is the hotel housekeeping: we never have to make our bed or wash our towels. While Alvin goes to class everyday, Miles an
d I hang out at the air-conditioned hotel or explore Houston by bus, foot, Mei Tai, and stroller (and taxi when it's 10:30 pm and your 9:30 bus still hasn't come). So far we have made it to . . .- Rice University
- Children's Museum
- Memorial Park
- Houston Arboretum and Nature Center
- The Galleria
- Downtown Aquarium
- Public Library
- Museum of Fine Art
- Rice Village (my favorite store)
- Brazos Bend State Park
- some great restaurants
Don't worry. Alvin hasn't missed out on all the fun. He joins us on excursions in the evenings and on weekends when he doesn't have to prepare group presentations.

Wow, roomservice! No fair. I did apply to Balyor's radiology program so there's a slim chance we'll join you guys in hot 'n sticky Houston.
