Hi fellow Texans! I actually moved out of state this past September but I still consider my self Texan. I'll always be a Texan. I keep getting teased with these Texas jokes up here in Utah. Its funny because here, there are a lot of Texas jokes as there were mormon jokes in Texas.

Anyways, I lived in DeSoto, just 20 minutes south of Dallas. *sigh* I miss the humidity. Its so stinkin' dry up here! Its horrible. One joke I've seen actually is this map of the USA and Texas is HUGE and "TEXAS" written in big words, but then all the other states are really small and say "not Texas" on them in little words. Another one that I've seen is that its talking about historical landmarks in the US, and then it has the Alamo listed with this huge description about it, but then it has Mt.Rushmore and in the description all it says is "not in Texas." Then it has other landmarks and tourist attractions, with all the ones in Texas with big descriptions and the rest just say "not in Texas." It makes me laugh, because I'm like "its true! Texas is better!" I admit my Texan pride. I just figure they're jealous.

For all us fellow Texans, the Howard Shore concert is coming to Houston on July 1 and 2. I was both pleased and surprised at this! Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Tuesday, May 25) at 10 a.m. It will be performed by the Houston Symphony and the Houston Symphony Chorus and Children's Chorus, with Alexander Mickelthwate conducting--250 performers in all. Would that Shore himself was coming, but this is the next best thing....

I am going to try to get tickets for the Thursday evening performance.

Thought this would be a good place to post a notice like this.
