    Getting old sucks

    Just signed up for Medicare and a BCBS supplement. Gettin’ old!
  2. Ticky tack bullshit foul to decide the game. Can’t stand the Eagles but that was horrible.
  3. No, but a failed Aggy QB ain’t the answer either.
  4. Jerrod Johnson as QB coach. Ugh!
  5. Pearl and Vine is ok- nothing spectacular. DaVinci’s for Italian is excellent. Very small, reservations required on the weekends. LaCenterra has Perry’s and Rouxpour. Local Table and Dish Society are nice casual places. Pho Saigon has great pho and other really good dishes.

    David Crosby RIP

    RIP. His AMA's were fantastic.
  7. What part of town? I really like mine, but I’m in Katy.

    Below Deck

    If it's Sandy, once again I'm out.
  9. Big win tonight. Both for Silas personally and for the growth of the team.
  10. Arggh. This sucks.
  11. Offer Jay Wright whatever he would want.
  12. Jay Wright: Come out of retirement and come on down.
  13. The North and West are beautiful. Roscommon, Sligo and Donegal. Do yourself a favor and watch a short YouTube video on the roundabouts. There are many more of them in Ireland than in England.
  14. KHOU starting at 11:00 a.m.

    Below Deck

    Ditto
  16. Met him 3 years ago and he didn't look well then. Excellent drummer. RIP
  17. We’re going in October and staying in the 8th arrondissement at the Hotel Madelaine. We’ll also pay our respects at Normandy for one day of the trip.
  18. Just got back from two weeks in Venice, Florence, Tuscany and Rome. We had a fabulous time and Michelangelo's David is the most magnificent sculpture I've ever seen. Food was great, wine was great--never more than 5 euros a glass, vistas were beautiful and the people were friendly. The shopkeepers were glad to see Americans come back and we had an incredible time.

    John Clayton RIP

    Don Banks, Dr. Z, Frank Deford and John Clayton. The old guard is gone.
  20. Stewart, Fonda, Niven and Gable were all older with wives or families and all served. And then there's this from military.com: https://www.military.com/history/why-john-wayne-was-labeled-draft-dodger-during-world-war-ii.html
  21. We have different definitions of what an American icon should look like and act and represent to the world.
  22. Wayne was a chicken shit and refused to even go overseas to entertain the troops during WWII, even after his close friend and mentor, John Ford begged him. Bogart served in the Navy during WWI. Wayne's birds of a feather--Ward Bond and Walter Brennan were racist and anti-Semitic. Marion looked good on a horse but he couldn't hold a candle to HB as an actor or as human being. HB was much more of an American icon. He and Bacall fought very publicly against HUAC, while Wayne embraced it.
  23. Berk lived next door to me off of Riverside. Strange but nice guy.
  24. He’s been replaced with Vanessa Richardson and Paul Gallant. No bueno.
  25. Best sports radio host in Houston.
