2023 Masters
Watching Jordan play is so high and low. Yeah, 5 birdies on the front 9. Goes swimming 2x on the back 9. One hole he's playing like the greatest golfer in the world. Next hole he's playing like me (yep, I hit a guy in the leg, too. He was walking his dog on the course). Jordan, don't play like me.

TX-Air Force
I really love when we play AF. My dad retired from the Air Force, so grew up a military brat. My brother and I were both born at Bergstrom AFB. We have have that blue blood running through our veins. I root for them as much as I can. Air Force-Fly, fight, and win. We both went to UT too, so we have Burnt Orange sangre as well. Hook'em Horns. AF. UT. Respect. Always.

Concerts you are attending
Got my tix to see Mana tomorrow at the AT&T center in SA. One of my top 5 bands. They always put on a great show. They stage show effects are good. The smoke show of all the hot mamacitas in the halls is way better.

Fantastic, fun and nostalgic show. Happy they added "Regret" to the set list. Sad I didn't get to hear "Love Vigilantes." Yes, they ended like they began, Joy Division. I'm Gen X but damn, lots of old and wobbly at the show. I was in section 201 and handipcap section was full. It's like they pre-partied at Luby's and then showed out.

My truck is in the shop. Fuel pump part recall, so hitching a ride with my budding who got a pass or else I'd let you ride in the bed of the truck. Just kidding. AT&T parking is a scam. Uber or VIA, VIA is a recommendation. Willow Springs may have limited parking for cheap, too. We're either going to pre-party in South Town or Smoke downtown.

Thanks. I saw this setlist for DFW. It's changed a bit from city to city, but other than "Regret" and "The Beach" not being on there, it's a good hit list for me.

Cool. I'm going to see them tomorrow in SA. First time, so excited. Was there an opening act? If not, how long did they play?

I was at that DM/OMD show in 1988. My freshman year at UT. Good show. Going to New Order in SA. Buddy got $60 tickets, upper level, which I'm fine with. I'm not rushing the stage these days. Thought about seeing DM again, but was afraid to click to see the prices.

F cancer.
I'm very sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is different and very difficult. At least it was for me. I was at my father's gravesite last week at Ft Sam Houston. 17 years have gone by and it's still hard, but as the late Queen said: "Grief is the price we pay for love." Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the soul of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Job hunting - A different kind of happy ending
I've been catching up on this tread this afternoon. Been on this board a long time as a lurker, but only have a handful of posts. Anyway, I am in a similar situation. I was part of the great resignation, so after 16 years in marketing financial services, I left last year. New CEO was brining in his own people and the writing was on the wall. I have a pretty good work history and never been fired, hit my goals, team player, etc, so I didn't think I would be out of work a long time. I did take some time off and traveled a bit, but then hit the ground running January of last year to find my next adventure. I'm still looking. I sympathize with Macanudo and others going through this because it's tough. Some days it's a kick in the nuts. Went through a six month interview process to finally hear no. Thought I matched up well for the job, too, which is why I pushed off some other interested companies. I've had several interviews, final panels, but no offer...yet. It's coming I know, but frustration can run high and the process can be very slow. Hang in there. You'll soon forget all the rejections and you'll celebrating a Yes offer soon.

We're Going Bowling!!!
If anyone is pre-gaming in Southtown today, a few recommendations: * McIntyre's 1035 Presa St. It's an indoor/outdoor venue with lots of TV's. Nice place. Grand opening is today. Beer and liquor but no food. Same McIntyre's from H-town. * Friendly Spot--Outdoor bar. 943 S. Alamo. Good hangout in good weather. Food and drinks. * Bruno's (we don't talk about Bruno's)--across the street from Friendly Spot and same owners. Indoor/outdoor bar. Cheap beer, good times. Food tent sometimes and drinks. * Bar America-723 S Alamo. Great first owners. Kids took it over and added hipster vide. Still a good place for pre-game and walking distance to the dome. Food and drink. Enjoy SA. Have fun. Be safe. Hook'em.
