  1. Wow, impressive take, Zack. I can't believe that ESPN hasn't dumped Herbstreit yet to make room for you. Stay close to your phone. The worm is turning.
  2. He is every bit the piece of shit as is his son, just not as successful at spreading his stench.
  3. From my office where I am not getting shit done... FIGHT!
  4. I was fully prepared to say goodbye to The Eyes, and not real sure how I feel about its perpetuation, including the concern mentioned by others that, at the end of games, some team members gathering on the field and others heading to the locker room could become divisive. All that said, its a damn good day to be a longhorn. I'm proud of everyone involved in this, beginning with the team members voicing initial criticism. Hook 'em!
  5. Anyone here have (or know someone who has) CAPS designation or other expertise on aging in place design? Assuming my furloughed wife (no pics) doesn't become unemployed between now and our tentatively scheduled construction loan closing in a few weeks, we are about to finally start rebuilding on the site of our Harvey destroyed house. The architect, who professed aging in place knowledge, and who was told that is what we wanted, somehow drew plans without a wheelchair accessible toilet. We want to adjust the plans to assure we have at least one wheelchair accessible toilet, but hope to avoid full ADA dimensions, which would Frankenstein our plans for a need that may never arise. I am not looking for someone to redesign the house; just to confirm the minimum reasonable dimensions needed for comfortable wheelchair access to and use of the space. At this point, we are not willing to trust the architect's assurance that x will be fine. If it matters to the person assisting, I am in Houston. Also, I am happy to pay (but not with pics of wife).
  6. I went to a Houston CBD store today, which had glass canisters full of buds; looked just like a dispensary in a pot legal state.

    Enchiladas Y Mas rides again! "Mary Martinez, who co-owned Enchiladas Y Mas, tells CultureMap that her nieces Eva Hernandez and Carmen Hernandez — longtime managers at the restaurant — are taking over the business and plan to reopen it July 7."
  8. But, would that trump the contact language that releases him from liability for claims through my universe and requires me to indemnify him for any such claims. I’ve gotten a lot of language modifications out of him, including removing the arbitration clause,, but he has pretty much said no mas.
  9. Anyone familiar with the Old Bahama Bay popup - on sale at Costco for $32
  10. TLDR, Liberty Mutual wants to fuck me out of $1,500. So, Harvey plus 33 months and it looks like we are finally going to rebuild.... Per the contract, the builder will have Builder's Risk for all insurable losses. He will also have liability coverage, but per our contract it does not cover me or my invitees (architect, designer, Surly drunks). And, the contract requires me to indemnify the builder for any claims/suits against him by my relations and invitees. And, even for things that fall on him per our contract, nothing says I will not also be sued (we already own the dirt). So, I want liability coverage. We have a renter's policy and an umbrella. My umbrella only requires that I have $100K of underlying coverage. But, LM says the only thing they have to offer is a Builder's Risk policy for a minimum of $400K property value and $100K liability, with an annual premium of $1,527. Anyone know if it is possible for me to just get a $100K liability policy, without duplicating the Builder's Risk already carried by the builder?
  11. I'd add that writing a good letter can take about as much time, and cost about as much money, as drafting a lawsuit, and the letter won't do shit (except possibly, as you say, satisfy a prerequisite).
  12. If up to me, I would probably have still taken the Italy trip. As for a future trip, I am optimistic things will be much improved by May. To the extent they are not, it is likely they will be bad here too. In which case, you might be better off in Italy.... Good luck.
  13. In-laws just pulled the plug on spring break travel (with my son) to Italy, including Venice.
  14. We are in the beginning stages of planning a family trip to Israel - two families with 3 kids in the 13-14 range. We are well versed in the standard [Jewish] itinerary - Kotel, Masada, Dead Sea, etc. - of which we will do plenty. Looking for suggestions of some things off the beaten path, and things that the kids will enjoy and remember. The trip will be winter break, so things like rafting on the Jordan River and spending an afternoon at Sachne (Barton Springs of Israel) are probably not options.
  15. It took me about 5 minutes.... The 10 person ExxonMobil board of directors includes one person (a former ExxonMobil executive) with an oil and gas background. The other 9 board members come from academia, insurance, IBM/Xerox, pharmaceuticals, Caterpillar, and Food and Beverage. In 2018 their compensation averaged $366K.
  16. As much as I loath Ken Starr, he has quickly confirmed my initial assessment that Jay Sekulow is not a very good lawyer. Beyond the overall poor organization and logic of his initial Saturday presentation, I almost fell off of the treadmill when Sekulow cited "34 colon seven through 13" of Dr. Fiona Hill's deposition transcript.
  17. It's obsolete because the Brits have not impeached since 1868....
