  • Our pastor started yesterday sermon with reference to the Abilene Paradox and even played this clip from an Abilene station.
  • After watching the series finale of ‘Breaking Bad’ at the end of September and admiring how much Walter White grew his beard and just kind of let himself go, that’s when I stopped shaving and keep an ungroomed beard.
  • Interesting Tulsa news – Man found decapitated, police suspect suicide
  • This picture of this high rise apartment fire in NY caught my attention.  A man living above the fire live tweeted about it.
  • We keep a childlock on our halfbath downstairs because BoyGeeding will go in and leave the faucet running, and when DaughterGeeding needs to go she’ll ask us to open the door for her.  Yesterday I found her using the toilet in our masterbath, something she never does.  When asked, she said she saw us enjoying the football game and didn’t want us to miss any of it.
  • The Olympics start a month from now but the high for most of this week in Sochi will only be in the 50’s.
  • I caught the the latest episode of ‘Sherlock’ and it is fantastic, I may have watched it five times now.  I’m not going to give anything away, but there’s a bit of a reunion show feeling at parts, the chemistry is better than ever, and it will meet all fan expectations.  If you haven’t caught the mini-episode that doesn’t spoil anything for the first episode of the third season, you can watch it here.  I won’t post any links/videos now until the show officially airs in the U.S., but the people behind the show threw out some great red herrings.
  • A Cracker Barrel waitress not only got a $100 tip from a customer, but also her tuition and living expenses.
  • The Longhorns have a new coach in Charlie Strong and I’m sure there will be a play on his name and the university that will turn into a beating, things like Texas Strong and The University of Texas Stronghorns.
  • I think there are a lot of similarities with the Strong hire and when Mack Brown was first hired, the major being that both came from schools with a strong basketball tradition in which football was basically an after thought, and turned their football programs into ranked bowl eligible teams.  Overall I think it was a smart hire, that it’s better to hire someone unproven (like no championships on their resume) who will feel driven and pushed by the pressure to excel, and those kind of guys stick around for a while if successful.  For the critics that are concerned he’s at a major disadvantage with recruiting, I’m sure Coach February will be more than happy to help him out in one fashion or another as he’s still on the payroll.  But I wonder if Texas has learned their lesson that they can’t expect their coach to be at two places at once, coaching and among the media.
  • AT&T Stadium will host the NCAA Final Four and the new NCAA Championship Football game within nine months of each other.  I bet Dallas County wish they could have a do-over and try to woo Jerry all over again when he wanted to build in Fair Park.
  • I thought the Philadelphia Eagles would play sub par this year and Chip Kelly would end up drafting Johnny Manziel to fit his kind of offense, but it looks like the Eagles have their quarterback f
  • I was watching the ‘Michael J. Fox Show’ and it was a bit weird seeing Malcolm Jamal Warner as a guest star.
  • The ‘Mythbusters’ Star Wars episode was better than expected.
  • Utah is trying to end homelessness by 2015 – Utah calculated the annual cost of E.R. visits and jail stays for an average homeless person was $16,670, while the cost of providing an apartment and social worker would be $11,000. Each participant works with a caseworker to become self-sufficient.

  • I heard kale chips are healthy and easy to make so I thought I’d give them a try.  They were actually pretty good, and DaugterGeeding said, “These are delicious, Daddy.”
  • The Stockton Thunder hockey team let their fans paint the ice and the team will play on that surface.  Check out some pictures and a news segment here.
  • During the Sugar Bowl a commercial aired in which a child said there are poisonous snakes in 49 of the 50 states.  He couldn’t be more incorrect, snakes are not poisonous, but venomous.  But in case you are wondering, Alaska is the lone state without any venomous snakes.
  • The guys on KTCK The TICKET state that the reasons so many of them vacation in December and other radio stations play non-stop Christmas music is because ratings for that time period are taking into consideration regarding advertising and such.
  • We’re getting to a point in which we can use technology to examine the reflection of a person’s pupil in a photo to view what the subject is seeing.
  • Over the last several years I noticed college football teams that were ranked in the top two of the nation but later knocked out play poorly in a bowl game, as if they feel they aren’t playing for anything unless it’s for the national title.  That’s what Alabama looked like last night, like they really didn’t care. Like Ricky Bobby and his father said, ,”If you aren’t first, you’re last.”
  • Last night I was told that I’m Josh Huepel‘s doppelganger.  In high school and college, I was told Luc Longley.
  • The state trooper that protects Bob Stoops always gets my attention, here’s an article about him.
  • I saw the headline “Priest found slain in church rectory” and instantly had to look up what’s a rectory.
  • The first baby of 2014 born in Lubbock was named So’Unique Miracle Randle.  That name makes me think of something that annoys me, that is, when people are explaining something and they just end it with “so . . .” as if what was said makes perfect sense.
  • This six-year-old is a great multitasker.
  • Someone took a cardboard cutout of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and took a bunch pun photos.
  • I’m not saying Art Briles is going to be the next coach of the Washington Redskins, but when RGIII was on the sidelines with him at the Fiesta Bowl you know they had to broach the topic at least once sometime prior or after the game.
