Change of Plans

Hurricane Ike has closed the Houston Airport which is how we were supposed to get home. It will probably be up and running but rerouting has been a nightmare for Continental, I imagine. Anyway we elected to stay a couple of days extra, rather than spend days in an airport. We'll get to see Dave's relay race on Monday, too.

Today has been a low key day. Dave came over and spent some time with us. We did find a coffee shop not far from the Paralympic Village. So we went there and got our coffee fix then rolled on over to the Village. We didn't get to go in but we did get to see some of the courtyards and buildings.

I think tonight is bug night. Zack and Jerrica found where they are - they only come out at night, after dark. Yeah, makes you feel kind of squeamish doesn't it? So maybe tonight is the night we dare each other to eat something exotic. We haven't gotten TD yet - after tonight it might be another story. Imodium is good for TD - there's a hint for what I am talking about.

Tomorrow night is Peking Duck night. We might try to get into wheelchair Rugby - of "Murder Ball" fame. Dave did sit next Mark Zupan one of the Rugby athletes at opening ceremonies. It would be fun to watch USA play but it's pretty popular - we might have to "settle" for any team.
