    I hope this isn't disrespectful, but...

    I found the juxtaposition between your Urban African-American sounding moniker and my mental picture of life in Stockholm to be imensely amusing. It almost sounds like a plot for a Disney move. (i.e. The Fresh Prince of Stockholm)

    Are you talking about the coffee place in Berkeley? I don't drink coffee, I'm a smoker. :)

    Born in Dallas, but lived in The Woodlands for fifteen years during my teens and early twenties. I now live in Saratoga, Wyoming and have been a Rox fan since '86 (especially remember Ralph Sampson's shot to beat the Lakers).

    Born in Chicago, but raised in Indiana. Moved to Houston in 74. My 1st thoughts driving into Houston were: 1. this place is BIG! :eek: & 2.where's all the basketball goals?:confused: I found the Rockets thru a friend & with his assistance, my wife & I attended a few games at Hofheinz Pavillion. We just couldn't turn down free tickets! :D

    Austin, Tx. It sucks because everyone seems to like the spurs here. I'm moving to LA, that's gonna be even worse.

    I was born in Kountze, TX, and raised in nearby Silsbee, Tx. I've been in and out of Houston all my life; I spent most of my summers in Houston, in the 5th ward/kashmere gardens area. I even went to school here a couple of years. I now live in central Northwest Houston, off Antoine and W. Mt Houston, in the Inwood North sub division area.
