    A guy my wife and I were friends with was shot and killed at a McDonalds 6 p.m. Saturday night.  Location was on Katy Freeway near Chimney Rock.  I suspect I am not the only one on the board who knows him.  He was an attorney, mid 40s, went to Memorial High School where he was a very good QB until he got hurt, and went to Texas undergrad.

    Details are sketchy at this point.  Apparently the shooter was yelling at the McDonalds cashier about a refund and our friend tried to calm him down.  The shooter got mad and shot him before fleeing the scene.  One report says the shooting happened inside.  And one says outside.  Sounds kind of like River Phoenix's character's demise in Stand By Me.

    Police are attempting to locate the shooter.

    I knew him well at UT and always enjoyed hanging out with him at concerts!  He rented a house with a full, 14 ft craps table at one point, it made for some wild evenings.

     

    RIP!!!

    Exactly the same for me.

    This adaptation looks like it'll be good, I'd love to see them do Tai Pan and Noble House next.

    Same here, but I did re-read Gaijin once because it gives some background on what happened after Shogun...but that is mainly a Struan story-arc.

    BTW first 6 episodes titles are well titled
