  • Food for thought: Tom Landry was fired at age 64 and was accused by many that the game passed him by. Pete Carroll is 62-years-old and defending a Super Bowl title.
  • I had this eerie dream that felt very real last night.  I was on a plane flying back from the Philippines and upon arriving everyone on the flight found out they had several brain tumors.
  • I took DaughterGeeding to her dance class yesterday and I was driven insane by all the kids in tap shoes.  Before the start of class they were doing all they could to make noise by smacking and scraping their shoes on the concrete floors outside the dance rooms.  I get it, they are kids and are having fun and have every right to do so, and after all I was at a dance studio, but at that particular moment it was Hell on Earth.
  • I think being a courtroom sketch artist would be kinda fun.  And if a celebrity was involved and I knew my sketch would make the news, I’d deliberately make the celebrity a bit uglier just to mess with them.
  • I wasn’t much of a Joan Rivers fan, but I bet most folks just know her as an old funny woman with a lot of plastic surgery and not take into account the trendsetter she was to become the guest host on ‘The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson’ and what a big deal that actually was.  But I was surprised her death was the first story on the ‘CBS Evening News’.
  • Letterman made a surprise entrance last night by walking in from the back.
  • Mitt Romney wrote a piece for The Washington Post stating the need for more military spending.  Republicans love spending money to create a bigger military.  Despite what he and the Mrs have said in the past, I smell another run for the presidency.
  • I forgot to mention one more thing that bugged me about the Wendy Davis interview on The TICKET . . . she started the conversation sounding like some damn yankee saying “you all” instead of “y’all”.  The Abbott campaign is also using the interview to say she isn’t the Cowboys fan she claims to be and is really a Patriots fan.  Yup, these are serious issues, y’all.
  • The Texas Tribune has updated their Texas Government Salaries Explorer and the top three are are related to University of Texas sports – Special Assistant Mack Brown, Head Coach Football Coach Charlie Strong, Head Basketball Coach Rick Barnes.
  • Local news anchor Tracy Kornet is leaving to Nashville to be closer to family.  Her seven-foot tall son plays basketball for Vanderbilt and I found this interesting, “Grew seven inches in his senior season and then two more when he arrived on campus.”
  • I sigh a lot, and loudly.
  • For a while I thought when a guy hits the age of 30, he should give up fantasy football.  Then I realized I was just jealous that no one would ever join my league and I never was invited to join a league.
  • Ickey Wood was in a commercial last night during the Packers/Seahawks game, he’s seen better days but can certainly still do the shuffle.
  • On FX last night there was a Diet Coke commercial that ended with “Just for the taste of it . . . Diet Coke!”.  I haven’t heard that slogan in forever.
  • There’s a new healthy restaurant opening four locations in the area that prints fat content and calorie count on the receipt.
  • Army can’t track spending on $4.3b system to track spending, IG finds
