    There you go. Jake Hammer. Frierson. The Garcia dude. Everyone understood Bryan White. We scratched our heads about the other three. 

    Bryan White used to attempt the “I’m a longhorn football player” move on my girlfriend and her friends in a class they all had. I can’t say I blame him, but he was a bit of a wee man and they thought it was funny in an eye-rolling way. 

    Mike Garcia.

    No "Gameday" on Sling today....contract with Disney expired....I bet their phone will be off the hook.

    It is.  Phone and chat are both an hour+ wait.

    Hmm…does Don-Key (sp) still exist? Been many years since I was in touch with that part of the extended Houston area (chasing my eventual better half). Used to love that place.

    It was still there as of a couple of months ago. They added onto the existing tiny building, and now it's pretty big and looks kind of nice from the street -- which takes away a lot of the "hole-in-the-wall" feeling from when you used to enter through the bar and sit on cases of beer while waiting for a table.  Good and margaritas seemed about the same as always.

    His son has a very severe and rare genetic disorder (KAT6A - only 150 or so identified cases) in addition to autism.  Langi is very open on twitter about his son's condition and the help they've gotten in Austin.  You can't help but root for the guy and hope that he continues to succeed here. 

    He's also a great guy. One of my closest friends used to work with him before Jake switched careers and came to UT. My friend says he would (and has) have no hesitation trusting Jake with his life.

  5. A Payroll to Meet. I've read it before, but my son is 12 and decided to grab it off the shelf a couple of weeks ago, so I am rereading it now.  As someone who grew up when SMU was winning (and cheating and got the Death Penalty), it is still very interesting to me.

    Ooo that's subtle. Interesting. 

    I thought it was subtle, too, but she told me last night that it's very clear in person.

    Probably worth nothing to us olds since it's the opinion of a HS sophomore, but she said she (& those with her) thought it looked good.
