i second that.

maybe next time we could walk around in the arboretum near memorial park? ...it's pretty neat....but it will probably still be very hot out..

I had thought about that, too, earlier today. I also remembered how hot and muggy it still is this time of season. The Arboretum closes at 7 and at this time of year the day doesn't seem to cool down until 8 in the evening. It's a good hour-2 hour walk around in there. That is if walking around in a forest in the middle of Houston appeals to any of ya'll It's quiet and isolated; it's a nice pocket of nature.

That was a very awesome way to spend the weekend! the SuperHappyFunLand warehouse was cool.

Memorial Park sounds like a good idea, they have mountain biking trails and tennis, Hermann Park is also cool although its a bit more crowded.

Marieclaire (another member here) suggested to me that we go to a movie next time because some Aspies have a fear of eating out...


Maybe we can all come to Adverb's (and my) place after!


I didn't say much and was pretty boring last time... did any of you feel awkward around each other at first or am I the only one?

i felt awkward. i didn't think you were boring. i wanted to ask if you spoke any French...but I didn't..

...i hate to say it...but it's hard to get me into a movie theater. ....however,going during the day is usually ok ...then the sitting still, but I can manage that.

maybe there's a happy medium?...?

maybe not next time...but it'd also be pretty cool to one time go to the butterfly pyramid thing at the science museum ..see all the fluttery buggies..

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
A movie might be too passive.
we couldn't really talk, etc...

i agree....
and i get real antsy in movie theatres..and it would sorta defeat the purpose....

I wouldn't mind the um...some science museumy...miller outdoor theatrey sort of activity.
I have never seen the butterfly exhibit.

I'd like to check out the Menil Museum. It's a quiet, creative space.

The Butterfly Exhibit is pretty cool.

There's also the zoo.

Or we can just hang at SHFL and order food

Boring? I distinctly remember a potential mustard fiasco heh

I didn't talk much myself, either. I felt awkward, too, but it wasn't my first time around a group of aspies. Hopefully, I'll be more verbal next time.

oooh! the menil!! It's FREE...and there's a Park....and
Iffing youze guys have not been to the Cy Twombly museum..just right across the street from the Menil..I can drag you there...it is one of my favorite places...I am always looking for excuses to go there.
I am always amused to see who likes his stuff and who doesn't...
We could do some sorta picnic type thingy maybe....


yeah...the menil!!

AWESOME idea!! !! !

I wonder if Star Pizza would deliver to Menil park....

I feel "safe" at the Menil...

I can't say I have not had some sorta irrational anxiety episode at Herman Park...

yes. sounds good. ...i don't know my schedule next week since i still don't have my classes sorted out (they're supposed to start on the 25th )..i'm so *utterly* prepared ...and work and whatnot..

picnic sounds good...maybe a potluck type picnic?

the only thing i really like at hermann park is the train...especially the new one ...and of course the zoo...on the least busy of days.

last time i went to the zoo i saw some zoo workers, in an empty exhibit, training huge australian dogs to herd cheetah cubs

Star Pizza...mmmm...*drools*
