- DaughterGeeding like to read, she even reads on the way to school each morning. Yesterday, she looked up and asked, “Daddy, have you heard of the Titanic, the unsinkable ship?!”. I replied, “Yeah, you mean the ship that’s so unsinkable it sank,” and then she yelled, “HEY, NO SPOILERS!” with a huge look of disappointment on her face. I’ve got to remind myself she hasn’t been exposed to as much history and pop-culture as I.
- Lately, I’ve really been valuing hugging my kids. In particular, being able to put my arms around them and noticing how much I can wrap them up, how I envelop them. The thing is, I know one day they aren’t going to want to be hugged and since they are growing, the hugs I share with them now will fade away and all I’ll have left is the memory of what it used to feel like.
- I caught a little bit of the Rangers game on the radio. Chris Berman was doing play-by-play, and unlike the rest of America, I like him behind the microphone.
- Rangers fans, step back from the ledge. Remember, last year they won the first two games of the series and we saw how that turned out – there are more games left to play.

- What old is new again – Lewisville drive-in to open at the end of the month
- Coyote Drive-In, Denton County’s first drive-in theater since the 1980s, will open Oct. 21.
- The five-screen theater, which will expand to six next year, is centered around a 10,000 square foot pavilion that serves as a full-service bar and restaurant. Crews are building a fenced-in playground near the pavilion for children. The complex will also serve as a live music venue.
- The movies themselves will be digitally projected from as far as 650 feet away onto 36-by-75-foot theater screens raised 20 feet off the ground. The screens have been wrapped in a special reflective surface that will help the light scatter more. Coyote Chief Operating Officer Steve Winn said the result would be images as bright as a controlled indoor theater.
- Winn also said the theater will screen local sports events for free. Depending on demand, it could be Cowboys games or local school games, or something else entirely, he said.
