I'm blogging from a room in La Quinta in La Porte, TX. We drove from Dallas this morning and went straight to Moody Gardens in Galveston Island where we tried the hour-long sternwheeler ride along Galveston Bay. It was freezing but we managed to have fun!
Next stop was Kemah Boardwalk and after braving the cold for an hour, we finally gave in and had dinner in Babin's Seafood Restaurant. It was a nice-enough meal, nice location, and great company syempre. As we were eyeing the dessert menu, the waiter asked Gabriel if there was anything he wanted. Gabriel answered him with this line, "No thanks. I'm watching out for calories!" The waiter quipped back with, "Now there's a modern child for you!"
The conversation did not end there, of course, because right after the waiter left, we told Gabriel that he really shouldn't concern himself with calorie-problems at his age. (Inside I was thinking, Man, if I only had his discipline!) In fact, we always encourage him to indulge in food as he is a bit in the smallish tip of the weighing scale.
So here we are, in a standard double-bed room, using the free wireless internet. Jojo's charging both camera batteries (we kinda abused them today, trying out b&w and sepia and other configurations). In an effort to keep our minds off of the digital SLR we saw in Amazon, we are re-discovering the features of our digital cameras (mine's at least 4-yrs old).
I'm not really that politically-inclined, but I just saw that in Des Moines, Iowa - Obama is leading the democratic polls while Huckabee is leading in the republicans race. It's only the primaries, right? (Here's how unpolitical I am, I don't even know who Huckabee is... hehehe).

Huckabee is a former governor in Arkansas and used to be a pastor at a Baptish church. I think both Huckabee and Obama are sincere. Not too "political". Seems like they just really want to serve United States of America.
Do you have voting rights now?
Nope, no voting rights as yet. I'd need to be a US citizen for that, and as our papers have only just been submitted (and not even for citizenship but just for permanent residency or green card) then that means it's a long trek before I can exercise any voting rights.
