The Battle of the Alamo has fascinated me for ages. As many of our regular readers know, Murray Huberfeld is quite the history buff so it was only a matter of time before we headed for San Antonio, Texas.
I was really excited about this trip and we (or at least I) planned to spend the whole day seeing the sights and reliving the history. However, someone (I won’t mention names on this blog) forgot to throw enough food into the cooler, so by the time lunch rolled around – we were fresh out of food. Not only was this a huge catastrophe because we were starving (and I wasn’t planning on leaving just yet), but I had specifically instructed a certain member of the Huberfeld family to make sure there was enough food in the cooler for a full day trip. In any event, we spent a few hours touring and headed home much earlier than I had originally anticipated.
After all this was said and done, I made it very clear that I would be packing the food for all future trips. Now, before every vacation while I am packing the cooler and someone inevitability tries to “help out” I really mean it when I tell everyone to “remember the Alamo”.
