If you haven't heard any of Jim Gaffigan, I feel sorry for you. He talks a lot about food, which I obviously love. Here are a couple of my favorite lines from Friday (I will probably butcher these, but you get the point):
- "I think they should change the name of the South to just 'Eat Barbecue.'"
- "Going to a bar at 2am to pick up a friend is like going to a pre-school to pick up a kid. There is screaming in the background for no reason; if you go in the bathroom, it's clear that not everyone is potty-trained; fights start for no reason."
And many others that cracked us up. I definitely recommend going to see a stand-up comedian at some point in your life. They're only about an hour long, so it won't take up your whole evening, and laughing for an hour straight has got to have lots of health benefits. Here, I'll get you started:
To top it all off, I got to see this pretty lady before my drive home!

I love it when I have impromptu visits with good friends. We met at the new Klyde Warren Park in Uptown, which is totally cool. Despite the cold weather and overcast skies, we had a great time catching up and trying out the various food trucks.
On the drive over, I realized that I hadn't been to Dallas, other than the airport, since I graduated from college almost three years ago. As someone who didn't love college (the reason for going abroad for a year..) I tend to have lukewarm feelings about Dallas. But I will admit that this weekend was just what I needed: a mini-break from home in a big city, seeing a side-splitting comic, a fun group of people, a few bars and a boozy brunch.
I also really enjoyed exploring new areas of the city that I never even knew about in my SMU days, so I'm looking forward to my next visit to the Metroplex to do more of the same.
