Once again, Houstonians put their fitness on display and the rest of us to shame as they took on the 26.2 mile challenge. Once again, I ventured but 50 steps out to the corner to photograph sinewy runners and show-offs.
We had a couple more dogs in the fight. Richard took over the role of TLS Alpha-Male as he conquered the full marathon beast. We also had occasional contributor, Sean, who was determined to be more than half the man of Richard while running the Amoco Half Marathon.

Things were a little different this year in the Woodland Heights. It wasn’t quite the out-and-out party of last year because of a lack of central attraction, but that didn’t stop the hordes in showing up to the holiday event. Parking became scarce starting at 5:00PM and any poor soul getting off work from their retail job trying to get to their home in the area was a bit out of luck. All that means, the magic of the evening wasn’t lost among the 2011 changes.

Via Colori 2011 was once again a hit. We sent Richard out to report back on what he saw. Unfortunately he didn’t do much reporting, but he did manage his fair share of seeing. Check out our slideshow from the event, or just skip the nonsense and head straight to Flickr.

Chili Cook-offs are in the air. It’s Fall. Or Summeronumero Dos. We were teased with a brief cold snap, but now we’re back to gasping in a balmy eighty-something degree stupor, like a dying fish on a riverbank. What could lure any rational Houstonian to indulge in not one, but nine bowls of piping hot chili? The reasons are obvious, my friend. Donations to benefit Child Advocates, Inc., Saint Arnold’s new Santo brew, and Sammy’s Wild Game Grill, Felix 55, Community Bar, Eatsie Boys, Haven, Beaver’s, Quattro, Shade, and Zelko Bistro, all moving beyond their signature styles to prepare the perfect pot o’ the hot stuff—that is impetus enough to brave a fall tradition in not-so-fall weather.
