The heartbreaking Texans playoff loss has left many a Houstonian a bit sour about American football. So to get through the post-playoff/pre-Super Bowl slump, jump on the futbol bandwagon if for no more than a day to witness Mexico and Venezuela play at Reliant Stadium this Wednesday. Tickets begin at $30 and parking is $20 per vehicle. Game starts at 8 p.m.
If you're already mapping out plans to watch Super Bowl XLVI, you may want to check out this list of Houston's best sports bars. And as always, if you think I've overlooked one, drop me a line.

As many of us continue to recover from the fund-depleting holiday season, the hunt for free and cheap things to do with the family is in full swing. This Thursday, visit the Museum of Fine Arts as well as the Children's Museum of Houston (from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.) and pay no admission. Or grab a blanket and refreshments and enjoy viewing Happy Feet on the outdoor big screen at Discovery Green Park. The movie begins at 6:30 p.m. and as always, admission is free.
On Saturday, don't miss the huge Arbor Day Celebration at Jesse H. Jones Park and Nature Center. Come for the fun hands-on activities and leave with a free sapling for your family to care for. For other upcoming Houston events, be sure to check out this month's event calendar.
