You may not see a lot of value in something like the Houston International Boat, Sport & Travel Show. Sure, maybe a sprawling expo that features five football fields’ worth of sailboats, luxury yachts and powerboats holds nothing for you. But if you’re planning to off your significant other for the insurance money, or maybe escape the country like in all those thriller movies, well, is there a better way to roll, er, float? 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. today. Show runs through January 16. Reliant Center, One Reliant Park. For schedule, tickets and information, call 713-526-6361 or visit www.houstonboatshows.com. $7 for adults; $3 for kids under 12.
Jan. 14-16
