George Strait 2009 at the new Dallas Cowboy stadium and the surprise trip to the men's bathroom!

The concert was outstanding! George was his usual great self and Reba was surprisingly good also even though she doesn't tour much anymore. The new stadium was pretty amazing, from the modern design of the 18-19 bars in the place to the sheer volume of people it holds, it is a great architectural work! It was definitely very cool when they opened the dome.

Okay and now for the men's bathroom...

You all know how I'm a follow-the-rules type of girl. Growing up in a law enforcement family has burdened me with the biggest guilty conscience in the existence of the world - well, okay maybe not the world - but you get the picture. However, I must say that when you gotta go, you gotta go. The human bladder can only expand so much. And when the line to the women's restroom is as long as the Great Wall of China something else has to be done! A very funny gentleman was commenting on how there were stalls and no waiting in the men's bathroom so Annette and I just sort of ducked in there. We weren't the first women in the men's den either. Let me just pause to say that although I was grateful to have a stall - the men's bathroom left much to be desired in the cleanliness department. I also have to mention that it is very embarassing to walk in hiding your eyes and then endure the taunting of men at urinals shouting things like, "Ladies, this is not a unisex bathroom" and "Girls, while you're in here...". I was glad to get out of there and they even had a plethora of paper towels to dry your hands (the womens' restrooms had been out for some time.)

Nevertheless, a good time was had by all - leaving shiny, happy people.
