After Derrich Pollock died in a plane crash in Lago Vista in February, the 43-year-old father of four was compared with Jesus.

“Derrich was most like Jesus in that he gave,” the funeral program at Great Hills Baptist Church in Northwest Austin said of the man who attended weekly Bible studies and flew relief supplies to hurricane victims.

I just finished watching the Price is Right that I Tivo’ed this morning. 

Drew has some big shoes to fill, and to be honest, no one can fill Bob’s shoes.  As a matter of fact, one of the contestants accidentally called him Bob while bidding for an item.  You can tell he was nervous and wasn’t comfortable in his new role, but I bet after a few shows he’ll settle in just fine.

I think the producers did a good job with the set.  Everything looks pretty much the same except a few subtle color changes.

It’s interesting to read the commentaries about his first show.  It seems like it’s about 50/50. 

I thought it was nice of him to end the show the way Bob did every time reminding us to help control the pet population – even if he got tongue-tied.

You remember the “Alien” movies? A very funny halloween costume!
