  1. Monumentally stupid if that happened after his second or third US Am title. After he won his second US Am I had floor tickets to a Rockets game and he was sitting a couple of seats away. I said to my wife that this guy is the next Jack Nicklaus. It was obvious to any fan of golf that he was destined for greatness.
  2. That's been the case recently and perhaps before the Shell Houston Open moved from The Woodlands to what is now the Golf Club of Houston in Humble. When it was at the GCH and it was scheduled the week before the Masters they were able to set up the green complexes similar to Augusta National--this was widely discussed during the telecasts--and many pros who would otherwise take the week off before the Masters would come to the Shell Houston Open. The tournament had an excellent field before Shell pulled out. Lefty, Spieth, DJ, Reed, Rose, JT, Garcia and many other top pros would usually play. Check out the leaderboards from 2015-2018 (the last year it was played the week before the Masters). Of course, Tiger never plays the week before a major--I believe with no exceptions.
  3. The HGA fucked it up. Shell pulled out as the sponsor and the HGA didn’t have the right stuff to find another sponsor. Thus, the slot was lost. Pity because the pros loved the course set up at the Golf Club of Houston and we had a great field being the week before the Masters. Then Crane came along. He gets it done.
  4. I live nearby and that’s my understanding as well. I liked the store, but it never seemed to take off. I was there last Friday and some of the shelves were already beginning to have large bare spots. Especially the beer cooler. The newish Spec’s on Fountainview is already booming.
  5. I’m guessing she knew she was on TV. She was very excited and happy.
  6. Hummingbirds are amazing to watch. IMG_1402.MOV
  7. I’ve never seriously considered carrying but if it gets any worse in the Tanglewood area I might start carrying my wife’s S&W Shield.

    Fat People

    I don’t disagree that it’s different strokes for different folks. That’s cool. But it’s not weird for me, and I would say billions, to say that fat people are not sexually attractive.
  9. I’ll be in Fredericksburg this weekend playing golf. I give it 100% chance we get rain in the Hill Country. Probably just enough to fuck up the golf.

    Apparently it’s not the case, but I would think the carrot of more sex would be a motivation to not be fat. I’m my case, my (fit) wife of 34 years isn’t having sex with me at all if I’m fat. I suppose it might be different if she was fat, but then I wouldn’t want to have sex with her.
  11. It’s the OP’s choice on how to handle his child’s treatment, obviously. But no way in hell I would give my kid the rabies treatment on these facts.
  12. Sure, let’s redo Rear Window and To Catch a Thief too.

    I don’t smoke so I just googled it and it said avg price is $8 per in US. If that’s low then I really don’t see how most people can afford a 1-2 pack a day habit.

    You also saved a lot of $$$$. Assume $5 per pack (currently about $8 per pack) that’s about $36,000. Hard to see how people of average means (not that that’s you) can afford to smoke.
  15. This helped my PF. I used Dr. Scholes heel inserts as well.
  16. Great movie. “The wedding is off.”
  17. Good post. But damn, I still hate your avatar for killing John Wayne. Long Hair was a huge POS.
  18. Not just teens. I have a good friend with a 30 year old son who is pretty messed up with a brain injury from an accident a month ago. He was wearing a helmet. Not sure exactly what happened. Skiing/snowboarding can be dangerous but we still love it.
  19. Last decade? Hell, I’m 60 and a decade is a blip. Some of the nutty or quirky films I’ve enjoyed are Nine Days, Napoleon Dynamite, Another Earth, Lost in Translation, Pulp Fiction, Edward Scissorhands, The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona, Local Hero, Walter Mitty, Big Fish, and going way back, Trouble With Harry. I’m sure there many more I’m just not recalling. EEAAO was on again last night and I watched it from the beginning. I made it about 30 minutes and turned it off. Just not my thing.
  20. I’m very happy with my Miele kitchen appliances. Our new construction patio home came with an all Miele kitchen. Nice design and 8 years in we have no complaints. The cooktop looks sort of puny compared to the larger range tops but it puts out the BTUs. Way better than our big six burner Thermador in our previous house.
  21. I usually like odd and quirky films but it was on one of my cable channels last night and I couldn’t last five minutes before changing channels.
  22. This. I work downtown and I always take the train. And the last two years the payment kiosk near the Rusk stop didn’t work so it cost nothing.
