The top five reasons I expect to love Houston for the next 18 months are:
5. Whitney Houston. Great name. Although I'm not really sure she has any actual association with Houston.
4. Reba, the sitcom. My favorite. I love the ensemble cast. Again, I don't think they actually filmed in Houston, but they make references to sports teams, like the Rockets, the Astros, and the Texans.
3. Apollo 13. Home of the famous quote, "Houston, we have a problem." A much more uplifting (not to mention true) disaster drama based in that great city than, say, Independence Day.
2. Dean Martin's song, "Houston." A classic where in Dino longs for the city where everything was good for him. Also, featured in the background, the clinks are the sound of a Coca-Cola bottle.
1. The word y'all.
Y'all come back in a year and a half to discover how my predictions came true.
Even though I know you won't be here, I'll be visiting this blog EVERYDAY just to touch the screen and feel your words. If I'm lucky, I'll hear your voice while I'm reading :)
