@Blackbird : Wow! Nice! Enjoy Galveston!

@Blackbird : Let me know how the Bishop's House goes.

I don't see how i could be bad.

@Blackbird : Have lots of fun .

@Blackbird : The nighttime visit interests me.

@Inb0913 : Thanks! I'm not taking my PC, so I'll let you know when I get back.

@Blackbird : Try The Sunflower Bakery & Cafe at 512 14th St, Galveston, TX 77550. It's a local favorite with folks who work at UTMB. It's a great bargain for top notch, unpretentious dining. It's casual. One of my clock repair clients, who is a maxillofacial surgeon, loves the place and has taken me there a few times and as a result my wife and I have dined there also. www.thesunflowerbake ryandcafe.com/

@Drew : I went there once, the gift shop alone was a rabbit hole that I lost about a few hours in after we finished eating

@Blackbird : Enjoy your trip to Galveston. Be careful of the drunks on the roads leaving Galveston Saturday night. Let us know how your tour goes. Are you taking your brother? Have fun!

The Brother wouldn't let me drag him to Galveston for $$$, he's much rather stay home and play WofW 16 straight hours.

@Blackbird : Enjoy!!!! It sounds like fun.

Who was I kidding, I'm in a room with a tv, but no DVD player, there's no way I could survive without my PC. Just got back from the tour, and it was outstanding. It was supposed to be 90 minutes but lasted far over 2 hours, and we got to go up 3 floors of the house (plus the basement 'gift shop', a dark hole I will not speak of until the credit card bill is paid). The only downside is, because it was dark out, we really couldn't see the stained glass windows in all their glory. So I'll be back, and the gracious owner of the house next door offered to give me a tour anytime I want to come back, and I have his digits to contact him when I do. A couple with us were telling him they put in an offer and pulled out, which is how he got the place. We also got shown one floor by the ggg-granddaughter of the original owners. She was funny, I asked her if she ever wished things had gone differently and she lived in this
house and she said 'No way!'
I whole heartedly recommend this tour. I was also invited back to the island tomorrow by one of the guides to a museum that runs an hourly film on the 1900 Storm, so I think I'll be going back there before the drive home.

@Drew : I'm afraid I need one of those (maxiofaciaal). PM me with contact info, pls.
