  1. My contribution to the film industry is the black and white Astros footage running on the television in the background of Mission Control in 'Apollo 13.' Got to work one morning and found a note in my inbox. When I called them it was a member of Ron Howard's team. Went upstairs and pulled some highlights from a contemporaneous KTRK-13 broadcast. When someone came to pick it up they spotted an old remote broadcast truck in the back parking lot and borrowed it for the scenes outside Jim Lovell's house.
  2. I threw up on Pete Rose outside of Trader Vic's during a Phi Delt rush event. Couldn't keep my second 'Scorpion' down. Met Priscilla Presley last weekend. Almost threw up.
  3. [thumper] Raynor Noble [thumper] Though it may be difficult to pry him away from Second Baptist.
  4. Zillow. Property. Hamilton, Montana. Lots/Land. Profit.
  5. "Oh! You were finished. Allow me to retort."
  6. Ed Smylie, Who Saved the Apollo 13 Crew With Duct Tape, Dies at 95
  7. Robert Benton, an Academy Award-winning American director and screenwriter. Born in Dallas and later moved to Waxahachie. Graduated from the University of Texas in 1953. 🤘 Nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde. In 1979, he wrote and directed the film Kramer vs. Kramer, winning Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. In 1984, he won another Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Places in the Heart. He was 92.
  8. You are correct. While most of the State Bar resources are adequate, I'm curious if there might be alternative tools or resources — outside the traditional scope for legal types — that others with experience might recommend as business beneficial.
  9. Need advice on everything from computer monitors to remote/secure storage of client information, or an office number arrangement that will allow me to answer on my cell or forward to office voice mail. I'm especially interested in hearing what hardware/software combinations you have have found successful. Any insights, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Reducing desk time, staying productive, securely handling client information, and streamlining communications without a traditional support staff. Monitor Setup? Looking for an ultrawide / dual-monitor setup. Software Recs: Manage client files, appointments, and billing securely in one cloud-based location. Secure File Storage: Cloud-based encrypted storage. Encrypted drives? VPN? Communication: A dedicated business number that routes calls seamlessly to my cell or voicemail. Digital dictation tools. Automated email responses and online appointment scheduling (e.g., Calendly) to minimize back-and-forth emails. Thanks.
  10. He also pulled the trigger on Bishop Strickland as bishop of the Diocese of Tyler. Bishop Kelly, the former auxiliary Bishop of Dallas, was then appointed bishop. Kelly is the epitome of a "company man," and a great choice to address that situation. Leave the Gun. Take the Cannoli Kelly Appointed to Diocese of Tyler
  11. I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou.
  12. It’s still early, but it seems the Church is sending a message to America: if you won’t choose a leader for your nation, we will. Not that all Americans would rally behind Leo XIV, but his words and actions will offer a striking contrast to those of the President.
  13. I liked it. Pattinson was solid and it was entertaining. Sidebar: First time in my life I've ever watched a pirated movie. Some douchebag in front of the screen kept getting up from his seat. Guess I deserved it for not paying my freight.
