    Frank: I don't mind you asking. In fact, I was expecting that question. I moved to Denver in part for a golden career opportunity, in part because I wanted to ski all winter long and in part to just get far, far away from the rut I was in at the time. I moved back because, after 3+ years there I decided that I really wanted to be close to my family and old friends again. I miss Denver and the friends I made there but don't regret my decision to come back to H-town. It seems like all Houstonians eventually return home.

    I was surprised, actually, how much I missed Whataburger in Colorado. And Wolf brand chili, and Blue Bell ice cream. It was tough. [​IMG]

    As for seeing the Rockets, better plan on getting DirecTV and the NBA League Pass. That's what I had to do. Feel free to email me if you want to know more about Den, CO.

    I despise the weather

    The Rocks drew my initial interest in Houston and have just opened my eyes to the beautiful city that it is. Plus it doesn't hurt that the temp is always high. [​IMG]

    Chris, Thanks for the input. I'll keep what you said in mind. A year from now I'm probably going to be certain as to where I'll be starting my career given that I will be graduating soon. As far as watching the Rockets, I've got NBA League Pass now(see home page if you like). It's great, League Pass, that is. Thanks again. [​IMG]

    Mr. Black--

    Born in Denver, CO, and grew up there...now living in Salt Lake, I would die to move back...but that's possibly just because when you live in Salt Lake, you're dying to move ANYWHERE...beautiful area, good people...love the climate, too.

    Born in H-Town
    Grew up in Corpus Christi
    went to college at Sam Houston ('96)
    Lived in Houston, and then moved
    to Los Angeles a few years ago.

    Third generation American and Third generation Houston sports fan.

    My grandmother used to heckle George Blanda on his bad days and worked for the .45's front office.

    My middle name is Ryan (probably a coincidence...he was still an Angel in '74). When i was little I wouldn't eat meat, and my father convinced me that if I did I'd be just like Earl Campbell.

    There's more but it would probably get progressively more embarassing.
