  1. yes, it was quite successful on broadway from what I'm told. the experience on stage is pretty great though. not a bad seat in the house. you will, and you'll feel left out, just like women have been for centuries.
  2. Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Quite possibly the most meaningful language in the Constitution. I was at the production of What the Constitution Means to Me at ZACH Theatre last night and the crux of the production was centered around this language. It was a powerful production, one that I was not ready for, one my son said left him feeling very uncomfortable. The production did not really focus on today's attack on our Constitution but rather the history of how we as a nation have failed over and over to honor these promises. At the end, in the lobby there was an active poll, shown with jars of colored cotton balls - do you feel protected by the Constitution... the crowd at the theatre skews women, queer, gay, etc. and so it was to no surprise that the "no" and "not sure" jars were more full than the "yes" jars. I watched and cisgender, white, ostensibly straight men (they were with women) were the ones putting green cotton balls in the "yes" jars. The production is really about the story of a young woman and the intersection of equal rights and due process on the lives of women, including the lives of the women in her family. The show is extremely powerful, and educational even for the lawyers in the crowd (hand raised). I highly recommend you go check it out. But to make this relevant to the political discussion, for the umpteenth time in the last 9-10 years, I had a visceral reaction knowing that my due process rights, my rights to equal protection under the law are at best aspirational, they are not guaranteed and they are not reliable at this time. I cried while watching, more than once. We can do better, we need to do better.
  3. we have a new stadium off Mopac and 45 up north, it's fabulous. plenty of parking. doesn't show up on waze or google maps but head that direction you can't miss it. If I don't have parking access, I actually park in the neighborhood or by the cemetery and if you are that early you'll be fine.
  4. don't care, play the game. PVA&M kids have probably circled this game on their calendar as this semester's field trip and are probably stoked about it. more to life than RPI. play the game. time to cancel the game was when the schedule was still written in pencil.
  5. are we really cancelling a game? I strongly disagree that playing scrubs has no value. for the unproven pitching staff any outing is a chance to improve. if you want the day off, play backups all over the field and give your starters a day off. as for RPI, whateves, we are a lock for a top 3 national seed as long as we win three of the next four series. probably a lock for a top 8 seed if we win two out of the next four. RPI doesn't matter for us right now.
  6. folks, Texas won last night, wild game, entertaining, hope you enjoyed it, in a late move Schloss went with Saunier. I don't expect to see Spence pitching this weekend. $9.95 pls.
