Day three in the USA – Heat – 29c – Number of Donuts consumed = a lot.
The day started with a typical American Breakfast – Donuts, Milkshake, and some type of hot-dog bun filled with melted cheese, sausage and Jalapeno’s. Breakfast of kings!
We did a bit of shopping in the monolithic sized Walmart Supermarket they have here. I wisely invested in a pair of cargo shorts and a loose fitting T-Shirt to cope with the Texas heat a little better.
The afternoon was then spent geeking out whilst playing computer games, watching DVD’s and drinking beer. We caught up on the Ric Flair Documentary, and cried like babies. We then watched the season finale of BBC’s Doctor Who, and cried like babies. Yes, we’re real tough guys.
The evening was spent in the company of Matt’s friends as we geared up to watch the UFC PPV. Plenty of beer was consumed, and I found out what “Buffalo Wings” are and how messy it can be to eat them. Tasty though!
So, the last day of my “holiday” – as something resembling work begins tomorrow! The pre-day for WWPC starts so I’m expecting my day to be full of meeting people, going to pre-WWPC meetings, and maybe even squeezing a beer or two in the name of “networking”.

The hot-dog buns filled with cheese, sausage and jalapenos were kolaces. And, while my waistline may argue against, I wouldn't take our 'holiday' breakfasts as exactly typical O:-)
