Marsha and I attended the Houston Texans vs. San Francisco 49ers game yesterday in Houston. We were guests of my former student, Christopher Douglas. Christopher works for the Texans now in their community relations department, and is attending the University of Houston getting his Masters Degree on an NCAA academic scholarship. All of us who know him are extremely proud of his accomplishments on and off the athletic field. Chris joined us for dinner at Olive Garden on Saturday night, and made sure we were well taken care of at the game. He obtained a press pass for us which allowed us to spend pregame on the sideline. In all our years as NFL fans we have never had that opportunity before. Thanks Chris! The Texans were recognizing the Armed Services at the game, and the Army Golden Knights parachuted onto the field, and both former President's Bush were in attendance and were recognized. Everything was great except the outcome of the game: the Niners lost 24-21 after falling behind 21-0 in the first half. Fun weekend though, and it was great visiting with Christopher.
