  1. This resonates on a personal level.
  2. Speaking of, how did the Longhorn Band let a halftime performance against Georgia slip by without playing Sammy Hagar, "I Can't Drive 55"?
  3. Who said career defining? It was a glorious day to be in Lincoln. Thanks for the lecture on our standards. Now go get your fucking shine box.
  4. He was nails in Lincoln when we needed him. For a bad Texas team.
  5. Clearly, he was in the South endzone.
  6. “Playing with fire.” Yeah.
  7. Beyond Fox praising Trump and shaping his message into something palatable for conservative viewers, I find it much more disturbing that a significant portion of the right-wing viewers now seem to expect, or even demand, these unquestioned and unfiltered claims.
  8. Damn. It's relatively quiet this morning.
  9. Kris Kristofferson was a badass at life. RIP
  10. Any suggestions for a contractor to discuss removal and pool installation in the metroplex? Thanks.
  11. This isn't much, but I know two kids who attend WashU, one of whom interned for me a couple of summers ago. He's from L.A. and the other from Long Island, both without any family connection to the school. They both love it, and their parents are very pleased with the academic support the school provides. My daughter was accepted to WashU last year but chose to focus on schools with graduate programs in veterinary medicine, so she didn’t end up visiting the campus. I was disappointed but I do like the in-state public school tuition.
  12. “Transformers One.” It’s the origin story of the Autobots that’s been missing. The prequel that delivers you from the early friendship between Orion Pax and Megatron to the war between Autobots and Decepticons. Animation was a concern going in, but it is at or near the top of the franchise for me. We left the theater ready for the future stories. If you’re a Transformers geek, you’ll love it.
  13. If attending Texas had been priority one, I might have chosen to live in Fort Worth and enroll them in FWISD. While Fort Worth is a nice place to live, its schools lag behind those in Houston and Dallas in statewide testing performance. Strategically moving there for high school would have made it easier for the kids to rank in the top 5% of their class, considering the academic landscape. As it was, there was a small exodus of kids from my kid's senior class during her four years of high school trying the same.
  14. I thought I heard that Dallas Wilson might be somewhat redundant given the talent we currently have committed, whereas Daylan McCutcheon seems to be a more likely choice for the staff than Keshaun Johnson. But at the moment, Johnson appears to be listening more.
  15. I'm just an old attorney who's tired of dealing with attorneys.
  16. @thunderlounge@immamac I too need a website (recently decided to become a solo practitioner again rather than retire). I'm not as interested in generating business from the website as my clients have been with me a long time and I'm not trying to garner more of them. Priority One Is setting up something with a custom email domain, then I can circle back to creating an actual website. But, my work product and my clients' invoices are piling up because I don't have a professional email address to utilize. Suggestions are welcomed, and I'd gladly pay for your time and a website. Thanks.
  17. ... in Iraq? I didn't know this until recently, but there were three Texas Exes killed on 9/11. Two men perished in the towers and a woman died on Flight 93. The woman was an ADPi from Houston Stratford. It only took me 23 years to figure this out.
  18. 9/11: The FDNY | 60 Minutes @ 31:00 is the segment with the kids of firefighters who died on 9/11.
  19. I liked it. Glad my kids dragged me to see it in the theater rather than waiting for it to come out on TV
  20. obligatory "made an appearance" coming in and out of the tunnel.
  21. Gutted. His poor parents.
  22. Betty Bridges. Todd Bridge's mom. Good Times; 2 Broke Girls: and ER
  23. Interesting idea and a boon for UTD. I looked into it and found that this was contemplated before - within the 2000s - but UTSW was dissatisfied with the bridge program between the schools. So, deal off and still off until UTSW can be convinced (or compelled) otherwise.
