  2. March lineup in Dallas

    Black Joe Lewis at Kessler

    Hannah Wicklund at HOB Dallas

    Mike Doughty at Deep Ellum Art Co

    I’d like to see Kevin Morby but he’s playing in Ft Worth on a Mon.

  3. Go to La Barraca for paella

    They gave me this butter dish so that I could remember the name of the place when I recommended them.

    In Segovia, have the suckling pig. I believe we had it at Restaurante Jose Maria. One of the best meals I’ve ever had.

    Go to Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid and see Picasso’s Guernica. There’s some other Spanish Civil War propaganda art in the same gallery that is amazing.

  4. Wife is having the worst travel experience of her life on American right now. She’s exec platinum so she’s not a newbie.

    She’s in Sydney on biz. She was supposed to fly from Sydney to LAX to DFW on Sat at 11:15 AM (aussie time). Flight was canceled and AA only has one flight per day out of Sydney.  She has spent numerous hours on the phone trying variations of flights back to dallas (through new zealand, asian countries). All are booked solid. She had to pay for another night in Sydney because fuck the customer.

    Each representative she spoke with gave her a different reason for the inbound flight not coming to Sydney (mechanical, weather). Inbound flight is out of LAX and they experienced a downpour of 0.3 inches of rain yesterday. Weather in Sydney is 100 degrees and clear. No rational reason why weather is the issue.

    As of now, she is booked on a quantas flight departing in a few hours from Sydney to DFW direct. Middle seat. Last row. She had a biz class ticket on AA.  She’ll become good friends with those standing in line for the restroom.

    She may end up on the flight disrupters thread. Time will tell.

    Each time she calls with an update or to vent, I channel Phil as I wake from my nap.

    i voted for Nikki Haley yesterday in the Republican Primary, grinned when the clerk asked me which primary.  I'm certainly not voting for Trump in November, so your'e right. All Democrats should sneak vote for Haley as much as possible to topple the MAGA. 

    If I voted in a republican primary, I’d have to scrub myself Silkwood style to get that filth off me.

    Gary Clark Jr is at Emo's in Austin March 13.  I don't know if that was a recent addition to his touring or what but seems he's sure to sell out that size of a venue fairly quickly.

     

    I have tix for him in dallas on may 9 at majestic

  7. I get lots from actblue. Very rarely from republicans.

    I’ve donated regularly to actblue, worked phone banks, and hosted a phone bank so I’m on the DNC list.

    On the rare occasion I do get a GQP text, I have a bit of fun responding.

    Just barely.

    Goddammit, every day, I am more and more furious with myself for not acting on a plan to rook these fucking mouthbreathing IDIOTS.  The money is just there for the taking.  For fuck's sake, I think it's immoral of me NOT to have done so.

    They’re easy marks. Put a red hat on anything and label it patriot in red, white and blue. The more garish, the better.

    I actually have a decent idea for a product that I’m considering. This is the time to act because the republicans are all gonna get on board after the RNC.

    Serious hypothetical...pretend you're single.  And you're at a bar in the DFW Metroplex one evening.  An attractive woman sits down next to you and says, "Hello there handsome.  I just moved here to the Metroplex from Oklahoma and got my realtor certification today and am celebrating.  I'd like to have a drink and suck your balls bone dry."

    Oh. So you met my ex?

    This douche is past due for an ass kicking …

    That was really awkward. Does he think this is anything but cringeworthy? He must have a lot of practice getting ignored by women and normal people.

    Made me think his high school years were Anthony Michael Hall-esque

    But in all honestly, a few years ago I realized that I'm not materially affected by either political party.   I imagine it sucks to be dependent on the whims of the voting public. 

    It does suck. Sociopaths like you have made healthcare for type 1 diabetics precipitous for decades. Fortunately, W fucked up 2008 so badly that obama got ACA passed. Now, health insurance companies can’t exclude type 1 diabetics from buying health insurance.

    And of course Cruz built his career on overturning ACA. Republicans are irredeemable pieces of shit. Full stop.

    That's a thing? One more thing to worry about now

    Used to be called juvenile diabetes. It can hit kids at a very young age. I felt my first low blood sugar episode in the eighth grade and had no idea what was going on. Pancreas shut down some time during spring of my senior year in high school.

    Telltale symptoms are unquenchable thirst and constant urination.
