  • DaughterGeeding’s first name is Micah.  Yesterday she found out there’s a book in the Bible with her name and came up to WifeGeeding and said, “MOM, did you know I’m in the Bible!”
  • One of my friends watched last night’s game at GeedingManor.  When it was BoyGeeding’s bedtime, he ran up to me for a hug and a peck on the lips.  He then went over to my friend, said, “good night,” and spread his arms wide open for a hug, and my friend obliged.  BoyGeeding then puckered up for a peck, and the look on my friend’s face was priceless as it was full of awkwardness.  You could totally read his mind, “I don’t want to kiss this kid, but if I don’t, I’m really going to hurt his feelings right before bedtime.”  My friend ended up doing the right thing.
  • You don’t often see a head coach go over to an injured player, but Garrett did that when Romo got hurt.
  • Why couldn’t Romo get injured when Jerry was being interviewed, it would have been great to hear him curse on live television.
  • I didn’t think we’d see more shots of Colt McCoy’s parents than Jerry Jones.  And of course the Monday Night crew had to point out the freaking art in the stadium that was put there by Jerry’s wife.
  • When a player gets hurt, they have to travel through a sports bar to get to the locker room.  I guess that’s convenient if you are knocked out for the game as you can get a drink on your way to drown the sorrows.
  • At the start of the game the collar of the Cowboys’ jerseys are white, but towards the end you can see blue stripes.
  • We haven’t seen Jerry on the sidelines in quite a while until last night.
  • I heard Romo yell out “Black.  Elvis” before a snap.  A few players on Twitter pointed out the L in both those words indicate a play, most likely a screen, to the left.
  • All three of Washington’s quarterbacks are devout Christians.
  • Things are going to get a lot tougher for the Cowboys playing the Cardinals next week.
  • I bet he didn’t have to wait an hour in line at Pecan Lodge like the rest of us – Where Alton Brown Ate On His Weekend Jaunt Through Dallas
  • I wonder if Mark Wahlberg is still feeling the good vibrations.
  • Boehner: Bush would have punched Putin in the nose – Yet Bush was able to get a sense of his soul and found him trustworthy.
  • ‘The Daily Show’ started with an aerial view of Austin but set to the music of the ‘Dallas’ television series and ended with the tagline “The Daily Show goes to the one part of Texas where we won’t get shot at.”  Stewart also came out wearing a hazmat suit, which really wasn’t funny and made for an all too much of a Dallas feel for the show, but there was plenty of Dallas bashing going on to appease the Austin folk.
  • Samantha Bee had a good line on how Ebola was handled in Dallas, “Dallas officials tried every Texas solution they could think of.  They shot at Ebola.  They gave it the death penalty.  The prayed for the virus….”
  • Pope says evolution doesn’t mean there’s no God – In an address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope explains that God is not some sort of wizard.
  • TCU only plays two football games out of state.
  • A very elderly Jerry Lee Lewis was playing with Paul and band on Letterman last night, but he looked like he was loving every moment of it.
  • I had no idea Aubrey Plaza had a stroke when she was twenty-two.

    I know some aren't art lovers, but the art in the stadium really IS awesome. It's an incredible collection of amazing artists, some local (Annette Lawrence, for example, is an artist and professor at UNT), that was put together by a committee of people like Howard Rachofsky. Melissa Meeks, Jerry's niece, helped head the whole thing up. Her main gig is running 2×2, which just last weekend raised $28 million in one event here in Dallas for AIDS research. Sorry, but these folks are some of the best in Dallas, and in my former life in the art world, I was lucky enough to work with some of them. Carry on.
