Texas is a Bible Belt state.  I see more churches in our area (mostly Baptist) than in the Northeast.  I don't see as many ads for things like the lottery or planned parenthood.  And after four months of living here, I still have no idea where the strip joints are because there are no ads - anywhere!  But as God is my witness, I'm going to find them!!!  (If I'm dead tomorrow, tell the police it was Mrs. Fly)

Even tho I'm an atheist, I really enjoy seeing some of the magnificent places of worship.  We've traveled all around the world and some of the most impressive architecture and art has been at the major religious centers.  Since my sister is visiting us, I thought it was only proper to take her to the biggest church of its kind in the world and where over a hundred thousand go to worship on Sundays.

Cowboys Stadium!  In Texas, football is a religion.  In the Northeast, there are so many transplants that I'll meet Bears fans, Niners fans, Seahawks fans, etc.  But may God have mercy on you if you live in Dallas and don't like the Cowboys - enjoy being a social outcast.

I'm generally not a fan of going on tours of stadiums, but the architecture was so spectacular that I wanted to take a peek before the football season.  I don't mind spending a few bucks on baseball tickets and only stay for a few innings, but I'm not going to shell out primo bucks to take my boys to a football game and only stay for a few quarters - not for $100-1,000+ a ticket.  My family room is too comfortable.  So I'm not sure when I'm going to go... maybe when my brother and Sister-in-LAW come over.  My brother is a huge Eagles fan, but SlawFly is a huge Cowboys fan.  What's funny is my brother-in-law (Mrs. Fly's brother) is a huge Redskins fan, so between the four of us, we have the NFC East covered. 

The stadium is super-clean and probably the nicest sports stadium I've ever been in.  They even have quilted toilet paper in the bathrooms... and I didn't have to scrub the toilet down!  Sure - it's the offseason, but there were plenty of people at the tour.  What was nice was that you got to go down and run around on the field. I was a little surprised the field was somewhat lumpy and you could see gaps in seams on the turf.  I'm pretty sure this must be one of the nicest turfs in the NFL.  So now when I see some running back or wide receiver stumble for no reason, I won't attribute it to the alcohol or crack the night before.  I guess it's like what I hear about the Boston Garden, where the playing surface is remarkably uneven for a major sports venue.  Maybe there's more to this home-field advantage than I thought.

But the best part was going into the cheerleader's locker room.  Seeing the player's locker room was a little meh.  Been there, done that.  Call me a dirty old man, but there's something kind of exciting about going into a place where hotties congregate and get undressed.  It was kind of cheap-looking to be honest.  Just the way I like it.  The player's locker rooms had wood - the cheeerleader locker room had laminate.  But they had huge sexy glamor shot posters of each them above their lockers.  I felt like the Sultan of Brunei.  Been there, want to do that!  (Seriously, if I'm dead tomorrow, tell the police it was Mrs. Fly).
