Since I've never been, and likely won't be back, what should I definitely try to do down here with my wife before we return home?

I can't make any guarantees, but if anyone wants to visit let me know. It's just us and our baby, not all 7 kids.

I've been hunting chibbiar for the last few years.

There's the arboretum, which is pretty nice.

If you lose a limb or something, my cousin's a paramedic there. So, you know. Call me, and I'll call him and... no you'll probably have bled out. Welp, good luck with that.

There are some great art museums in the area. All that oil money had to go somewhere.

Drop by the flagship store for Needless-Markup, er Neiman-Marcus

If you like Barbeque, in my opinion the best hands down comes from Cousins Bar-B-Q in Fort Worth.

Ill be there for my annual trip at the end of May. What to do there all really depends on what you like to do. I know when we visit our friends there, there are lots of bars, pool parties, concerts, shit along those lines as stuff to do. its a huge area with an actual crapton to do all over. The zoo is great, and the BBQ is jsut awesome everywhere.

You should all come to my Starbucks! It'll be great! I won't recognize you because I don't look at picture threads much, and still charge you full price because I my manager is like RIGHT there.

I also won't have time to talk because I got shit to do.

It'll be awkward, but we'll remember it forever.

1) Go to the art museums in Ft Worth, specifically the Kimble and the Modern. These are some of the best collections in the country and are for some reason often overlooked

2) If you like jazz there are some good jazz bars in Ft Worth. I can't remember the names of them....but some google-fu should find you some stuff. For some reason its something Ft Worth is famous for.

3) Cousin's BBQ is good, another to check out is Angelo's (my personal fav for the area).

4) Ft Worth has a pretty great zoo, and a nice Botanical Garden right next to it.

5) If you are a big planner, you may want to try and catch a play/opera/symphony at the Bass Music Hall. The Bass family is like the Ft Worth Rockefellers, they built all sorts of cool stuff and the Bass Music Hall is very well built.

6) Or, if you're bringing kids, try to catch a show at Casa Manana. It's a strange theatre that is more kid friendly.

7) If you have the time you may want to check out either the Amon Carter Museum, which is a kind of strange cowboy/Texas museum, or the Stockyards, which is basically just a tourist trap.

8) You'll notice I haven't mentioned Dallas. Really no reason to go there, and plenty of reasons not to.

One thing to check out in Dallas is Fair Park, see if there are any MEGA Museum shows passing through. And it has a neat aquarium.

I can neither confirm nor deny delivery of another baby at this time.

If you have any more babies, I'm going to have to train more doomweasels in order to arm them properly, so keep me informed, OK?

Given the lifespan of even your overachieving doomweasels, you'll have plenty of time and notice before any new children are well trained enough to handle a fully operational, armed doomweasel.

I will, however, keep you apprised so as to not throw a wrench into your finely tuned doomweasel program.
