It’s nice to hear others have visited Haystack and enjoyed it.
With some of my coworkers getting laid off it took me a while to process something. My team is split between Austin and Dallas, all Dallas employees on my team were let go. There are still Dallas employees on other projects, but that made me raise and eyebrow.
As I was entering the workforce the last thing I wanted to do was operate my own business because I wanted someone else to manage and worry about profits, benefits, and things of the like. Now, I’d much rather be in charge of my own destiny and job security than leaving it to someone else.
Remember when the ‘American Idol’ finale use to be a big thing?
‘Survivor’ changed up their finale by not having it on Sunday and actually starting out in a studio and going back periodically for contestant and audience segments. I thought it was pretty cool and welcomed the change, and I certainly prefer having two finalists instead of three.
I haven’t watched a Tyler Perry production or a movie in which he was a main cast member, but I do know he’s a big Star Trek and Survivor fan per his involvement in those things.
I’m still waiting for a Survivor set in Vietnam.
Last night I tried Kirkland ice cream based upon their high ranking in ‘Consumer Reports’ and my gosh, that might be the best store bought ice cream out there.
Miles Austin received permission from Bernie Kosar to wear the number 19. If I was a Browns fan, I’d be ticked. Heck, it was bad enough seeing a number 12 Tony Banks shirt at the Vista Ridge Champs Sports store back in the day.
There’s a new ’30 for 30′ short on Shawn Bradley. In this short he stated he had to pay a $10,000 fine because he refused to attend a team meeting that was held at a strip club and he even worked in a leper colony in India. Jeff Van Gundy makes a great point that most people will only judge him on 12 years of his life instead of his entire life. I remember a friend spotting him in the Mineral Wells True Value. At the time he had a place out at Possum Kingdom and he was trying to find parts to repair something.
Took my 10-year-old to hear Neil deGrasse Tyson's talk on Monday night. It was a spectacular experience for both of us. The advice NDT gave to the 7th grader was spot-on perfect. And he took many questions from other kids during the Q&A, too.
