  1. Yeah... thanks Midtown..... When you are the teacher having dinner with this guy, a doctor, and a comfortbely retired brother, you are already going in behind the curve! It didn't help that when my wife ordered her Manhattans, and they asked me if I had a whiskey choice, I said no. Rookie mistake. Doubled the drink price. But really fun night and a great meal.
  2. Man.. I want whatever vasectomy drugs koopa is on... Me and my boys are watchin R1 now. Power went out a few hours ago, so we waited and it's a late night, but they were so excited to watch it.
  3. might be where our experiences are different. My school is very diverse.
  4. Quick edit. I figured that's what you meant. I'm a high school teacher of Juniors and Seniors, so I actually do have lots of interactions with younger students. Not trying to be argumentative, but in my experience, young (HS age) males aren't really thinking too much about it, but they are overwhelmingly tolerant. One of the things that has really impressed me over the last 10 years, is how good or tolerant high school kids in general are to kids of "alternate" lifestyles. Perhaps it changes in their early college/work years.
  5. You don't have a ton of interaction....yet you know that EVERY SINGLE ONE hates the woke shit?
  6. Miss this place
  7. We were at at Bed and Breakfast in Flagstaff and the owner recommended going off the beaten path to Shoshone Point. Its a park and hike place. Probably a little over a mile. Incredible experience with snow on the ground. When we got there, I think there were maybe 4 or 5 other people there. I had to convince her to go out toward the edge. She scooted on her butt the last 10 yards. Sorry to derail... and yes, i had the camera on a timer.
  8. I proposed to my wife at Shoshone Point on New Year's Eve 13 yeas ago. She was terrified.
  9. Working on getting my new club outfitted and geared up for Junior Olympics this summer. Looks like the bags my clubs have been using for years won't be an option. Got this email yesterday. Coach, Please excuse my late email here, but it was brought to my attention of a hiccup we are having when I was building out the bag to be put on your site. We use TYR as our vendor for bags, and they are currently out of stock of the color we chose with no signs of replenishment. On top of that, TYR has their bags made in China and unfortunately, it doesn't look like they will be replenishing any inventory due to the tariffs placed on China. They have a small number of black bags on hand, but those will be sold out within the next two days.
  10. Just got back from Wilco and Waxahachee at the Espee here in SA. Really great concert. It was a perfect evening to be at an outdoor venue.
  11. I'll be seeing them here in SA.
  12. That's what I was seeing.... not a bball stat guy so I was just making sure I wasn't missing something.
  13. Where are you seeing this? Genuinely curious.
  14. Places Helo has never heard of for 1000 Alex....

    Bert!

    um.... "the hate"? Says right there after the "disagree with"....
  16. Just got back. Took my 10 year old. I enjoyed it, but really got a kick out of all the kids and teenagers screaming, clapping, and singing. I normally hate any talking by the audience, but there is just no way to not expect it in this one. The sheer joy on my kids face, and his all out clapping just made it a blast.
  17. I like Barnes...
  18. Paper Tiger now. In fact, last time Midtown and I ran into Chris Penn, mentioned above, we were at the Tripping Daisy show at Paper Tiger.
  19. I do a combination of mowing/mulching in the backyard, and in the front, blowing into the street, then against my own curb where I pick them up.
  20. Yeah, I think I recall one of your posts making me think we are right across Bandera from each other.
  21. Me - 88 , Midtown - 89 I know there are several more. My wife was 93. Not sure if I want to know if you know her : ) Dad still lives up on Seneca in Leon Valley, and after living in Austin for a few years, I came back to my roots and live back in the Marshall/O'Connor area. It's home. Marshall is still one of those old school SA high schools where everyone knows someone from either their time there, or someone in their family's time there.
  22. Since this is an SA thread, and we have been talking about music, here is a post from Tim DeLaughter of Tripping Daisy. Chris was at SA Marshall with me, Midtown, and I'm sure some others from here back in the day. This is one of those posts that you don't want to make, but here we are. Some of you may have heard that our beloved Chris Penn was in an accident. In true CP-fashion, he was working at Good Records taking down the advertising decals on the front window, the decal unexpectedly gave way and he fell backwards landing directly on his back. As you may or may not know, Chris has been dealing with back and spine issues for quite sometime now. He had a surgery on his neck from a fall last year, and at that time, they discovered that he had Ankylosing Spondylitis and Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (OPLL). What all that means is he has very little space in his spinal canal and his spine has fused together, limiting his mobility. All that said, the fall was catastrophic for him. His spinal cord was bruised and paralysis was immediate from the neck down... I know. It's a lot to take in… I know. This happened on Monday around 11am. We've been in ICU since... As you can imagine, the world stopped and from that moment on it has been about Chris and what his future will look like. He is stable at this time and being monitored around the clock. There are short term goals we're trying to reach under difficult circumstances and obviously limited by what his body will allow. It's going to be a long road ahead with many challenges along the way, and we're just getting started. We're talking about Chris Penn here, a pillar of our community and a freaking force of nature with everything he does. I will tell you this, one of the first things he discussed through nodding his head at letters until a word was spelled was "order" as in order Charlie Crockett Records for the in-store this weekend? He nodded “yes,” and then instructed us on the quantity needed. That pretty much sums him up, so be sure to show up for that in-store Saturday. We’ve got some records to sell. Realizing we've just dumped a lot of heavy info on you and you're probably riddled with questions and concerns, know this… he is in stable condition at the moment and in very good care. Currently, we are focused on getting his intubation tube removed so that he can start the journey of breathing without assistance. That's where we are and that's the first step of many to come. I give you this latest information and will try to give updates on a need-to-know basis. Please refrain from reaching out directly to Jennifer or myself for updates, as we are 100% dedicated to Chris at this time. A lot of things are happening quickly, and the pressure to respond distracts us from our main focus of getting Chris the care he needs. I'm sure you understand. Again since we're in ICU, no visitors are allowed at this time. There will be a time for that down the road, but not now. We know Chris is loved by many and I’m sure it will be well documented in the comments of this post (which we will make sure to share with him). If there are offers to help in any way, we will be informed by the person monitoring this post. We are starting a GoFundMe as Chris, Jennifer and the boys (Oliver, Archie and Grover) will need our help. There will also be a link for a MealTrain if you would like to help in that way as well. Please send your prayers and positive thoughts towards Chris and his family as we navigate his road to recovery. peace https://www.gofundme.com/.../join-us-to-support-the-penn... https://mealtrain.com/63wzg8
  23. Dude.. you just don't know shit about San Antonio. It's ok, but just accept it. When a thread about Alamo Ranch or some other lame suburb of SA pops up, have at it. That seems to be your speciality.
  24. Glad its going well. I'm not sure if its bit, but yeah, please do the opposite of what Helo says. I don't get out as much anymore (family and such) but your itenerary looks great, and I'm taking some notes for when my wife and I can get out again.
  25. I was a SOCOM guy back in the day. I bounced around between COD and Battlefield over the last 15 years and have enjoyed playing, but I really started getting sick of stupid stuff like turning into plasma when killed and players running around with idiotic outfits. I hate that zombie shit. I was never a run and gun kind of player. I started playing Hell Let Loose this past weekend and I'm really enjoying it. It's hard, but I love that you need to communicate to be succesful. I guess that's sort of like the old SOCOM games. Trying to learn the maps as a Medic. It's going to be a steep learning curve, but players online seem to be pretty cool to everyone for the most part.
