DaughterGeeding is training for her black belt. As motivation, her instructor monograms them and hangs them on the wall.
Yesterday I learned former Dallas Cowboy Isaiah Stanback lives in my neighborhood. He was promoting a nearby fitness company he co-owns on a neighborhood message board. He was part of the Giants Super Bowl winning team.
Most importantly, it acts to prevents ultraviolet sun rays from deteriorating the urethane sealant. That matters, because the sealant doesn’t just keep rain out of the car, it actually holds the glass in place.
The frit band also acts to provide a rougher surface for that adhesive to stick to, and it’s a visual barrier, preventing people from seeing that nasty glue from outside.
Two other unique features are planned for the mall as well: a 30- by 60-foot American flag at the top of a 130-foot flagpole on the property close to I-35, and a large marble slab monument containing the Ten Commandments.
These kids look cute in their Donald and Melania Trump costumes. Speaking of President Trump, I just noticed he combs his hair over his ear. That would bother the heck out of me, I would get that tickling feeling all the time.
In retirement, the elder Bush was known to spend entire mornings at his computer skimming the internet for news, gossip, criticism, and even wild conspiracy theories to amuse himself.
When his son was in office, Bush41 would often start the day typing an angry email to some columnist or pundit that disapprove something his son said or done, but deleting the message entirely or only saving it as a draft. As you can see, like any father, it was hard on him seeing his son be criticized.
Both Bush41 and Bush43 felt it was a hard task keeping Barbara and her sharp tongue at bay.
This quote by George W. Bush meeting with his father and Bill Clinton made me laugh, “Tell 41 and 42 that 43 is hungry.”
Back in 2006, Bush41 was stuck in NYC while his private jet had unscheduled maintenance. He turned to an aide and said, “I’m going to visit Bill.” Moments later, he and his Secret Service detailed arrived at Clinton’s Harlem office, but there was one problem, Bill wasn’t in town, or even in the state. Bush decided to tour the office and make the rounds posing for pictures and entered Clinton’s personal office, sat in his big chair, and put his feet up on his desk. He then called Bill on speakerphone and asked where he was and asked if he had any idea where he currently was.

Thanks a lot, Lexus, for running a Lexus December to Remember commercial complete with your vehicles displayed with those big red bows. Thanks, thanks a lot.
BoyGeeding was Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe and I’m glad he didn’t run into this kid otherwise there could have been trouble. During trick-or-treating, I noticed he wasn’t saying “thank you” like his sister and confronted him about it. He said, “Dad, Snake Eyes never talks.” Well, the kid’s got a point and kudos for him staying in character, but I told him he should at least do a noticeable bow. The next house just happened to be opened by an elderly Japanese woman and she seemed touched by his gesture.
Yesterday, a neighbor friend of kids came over with all of his Halloween candy and for then hour all of them did nothing but trade candy with each other without one piece being consumed.
WifeGeeding made the kids separate, categorize, and chart their candy. Remember, she was the one worried about DaughterGeeding being upset for being too hard on herself for not making a 100 on her homework every time.
With the abundance of U2 songs being played during the World Series, it was no surprise the band announced a new album and tour. The album drops the first of December and the new tour will open in . . . Tulsa, on May 2nd. The tour will only be in 15 North American cities and Tulsa is the closest. If I go through my back surgery as planned, I won’t be well enough to go.
It’s an arena tour, not a stadium tour, think more American Airlines Center than AT&T Stadium. There’s some confusion of how the stage will be set up, TicketMaster shows three different stage designs when you compare San Jose, DC, and NYC. The last time they came to DFW, I thought they would perform more in the middle than at the end of the stadium. I was wrong and my seats stunk.
There’s also some confusion for fan club members who used their special presale tickets for the last tour. It looks like to get presale tickets, fan club members will have to renew their membership again, but I’m not really sure.
President Trump is a visionary. All these men in the entertainment industry are getting in trouble for sexual assault. He must have seen this coming and moved to politics.
SI.com – From Staubach to Dak: An Oral History of the Cowboys’ Quarterbacks – From Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman to Tony Romo and Dak Prescott, quarterbacking America’s Team is unlike any other job in football. We asked the men who know better than anyone else about life in the NFL’s brightest spotlight
Last night we saw a woman dressed as a Great Dane who was walking her Great Dane.
A few of these blown up gorillas made an appearance in our neighborhood.
We spotted a Fat Elvis.
I’m surprised at the lack of references to the old television show ‘Webster‘ regarding the Mueller investigation and George Papadopoulos, it was the first thing that came to my mind. In the show, Alex Karras played George Papadopolis. I did several Mr. Snuffleupagus references.
For entertainment purposes only, I wish Anthony Scaramucci was still speaking for the White House.
A Chicago hot dog stand is reviving the famous fast food restaurant from the hit film “Coming to America.” The Wieners Circle in Lincoln Park completely transformed into McDowell’s over the weekend, complete with new signs, employee uniforms and even some new menu items.
“They both contain two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions. But they use a sesame seed bun. My buns have no seeds.”
While looking for Cal Ripken stats I wondered upon Arrest.org, a website that lists arrests and mugshots. Each state has a “Most Popular” section, here’s the one from Texas. Notice Jill is winking.
I was watching WFAA yesterday and they had a segment on baby photography. The prep-guide graphic displayed and audio they used said “bathe them” but the closed-captioning “beat them“.
Confident Americans rushing to book vacations – The percentage of Americans planning to take a vacation in the next six months jumped in October to the highest level since at least 1978, according to a report published Tuesday by the Conference Board.
