I say howdy a lot. It just comes out in certain situation without any thought on my part. It's a bit tongue in cheek, said fast and sometimes sounds more like Heidi or Hah dee. I will never concede that word as "theirs".
I only have three and there is 4 & 5 years between them but we've taken them all over. We took them all to Tikal and climbed pyramids with our youngest in a backpack carrier when he was 1. They're pretty good, pretty easy, except my daughter has always been pretty difficult. Thankfully there's only one of her. Now that my oldest is adultish (about to start his sophomore year at Texas) it's like have a 3rd parent (sometimes) and he's really close to our youngest boy (9). He even coaches his youth basketball teams.
You could've been from Cotulla or Carrizo I suppose. Most people don't spend a lot of time in or near the Nueces River. Or maybe it was an esoteric tribute to the Moccasin scene in Lonesome Dove. But now I know.
Congratulations. My son is finishing up his freshman year up there right now. He's at Moody. It's a good feeling knowing they've established a solid floor to build from by attending UT. My nephew had a full ride to Alabama to get his Chem Eng and MBA in 5. He's finishing his MBA in May but already has accepted a job for over 6 figures. He'll be a technical sales engineer. Good degree for your son and at a much better school.

or was it hypothetically. I want to remember correctly because it's so perfectly summative, insightful and succinct it should be in Proverbs.
