  • 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.

Texas pastor arrested for soliciting prostitute: Christ’s love allowed me to get caught

A pastor at an Amarillo church could face up to six months in prison after getting caught with a prostitute in a Motel 6.

Texas Department of Public Safety officers arrested Cameron Tate Reeves, a 34-year-old pastor at Hillside Christian Church’s Hillside Canyon campus since 2009, on Thursday at the hotel at 2032 Paramount Blvd. in Amarillo, Myhighplains.com reported.

Reeves resigned from his post after the arrest, the Amarillo Globe-News reported.

The pastor penned a letter to be read to the church’s congregation on Sunday, according to the Globe-News. In it, Reeves admitted to knowingly booking an appointment for an “inappropriate sexual encounter.”

Reeves said it was Christ’s love that allowed him to be arrested, the Globe-News reported.

“I’m sorry for wounding the heart of Christ … I want to be a faithful son,” the letter read, according to the Globe-News.

  • When the Cowboys don’t play on a Sunday it totally throws the first of my week off.
  • We’re the type that will watch our favorite shows when they air, but wait about fifteen minutes as the DVR records them so we can fast forward all the commercials.  So a “first world problem” smacked us upside the head last night when ‘The Walking Dead’ didn’t record per our season pass.  I checked our settings and priority lists and I was able to conclude it had to be a bug on their end.  All I had to do was check Twitter to see if anyone else was having the same problem, and sure enough ‘Walking Dead’ DirecTV customers were more than voicing their frustrations.
  • But man, it was worth catching the beginning of ‘The Walking Dead’, but I should have seen that coming.
  • Speaking of first world DVR problems, you’d think by now they could figure out a way to record a show that starts at a later time due to a football game running past its allotted time.
  • SNL sure is lacking energy this year, but Jim Carrey doing that Matthew McConaughey Lincoln commercial bit throughout the whole show was great.
  • I always felt Jim Carrey is one of those that is happy on the outside but terribly depressed on the inside.
  • Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas is going on a campaign offensive with their ’60 Minutes’ interview and new commercials.  In that ’60 Minutes’ interview the nurses said when administrators talked to them that everyone volunteered to pitch in, from doctors to janitorial staff.  Part of me wants to believe that, but I’m skeptical that “everyone”, especially the janitorial staff, had such a gung-ho attitude.
  • ’60 Minutes’ also had a piece on Foo Fighter’s founder Dave Grohl’s HBO series on the musical history and influence certain cities have.  Grohl stated before this project he was surprise to find out how much of an influence the church has had on so many musicians.   I do like it when musicians really honor their craft by researching things such as this.
  • The church that operates DaughterGeeding’s preschool held a Trunk or Treat event last night.  That’s where people decorate their trunks and hand out candy.  One costume stood out, a black boy wearing a Dirk Nowitzki jersey with a shaggy blonde wig.
  • I was surprised to find out that Herschel Walker only had two one-thousand-yard seasons in the NFL and only made the Pro Bowl twice.  My childhood memories are tainted to believe he had much better stats in the NFL.
  • An Atlanta church defaulted in its $10 million loan.  I talked to a bank VP once and he told me he prefers not to do business with a church when they to build a bigger building.  He doesn’t like to take the risk in lending money to a church because if they default it’s hard to sell church property and a lot of times the lender looks like a bad guy.
  • Even our service academies will stoop to taking advantage of young men and women by getting caught up in the ugliness of college sports –  Report: Army used alcohol, women to recruit football players
  • I’ve caught segments of Graham Norton interviewing people, and he just has this great ability to make his guests put their guard down and laugh.  U2 was on his show recently and the interview made it feel like they were in the living room with me not as celebrities, but ordinary folk.
  • I’m surprised this incident hasn’t had more national exposure – DFW passengers subdue homophobic assailant
  • If you are easily offended, just skip this bullet point – Distasteful Halloween costume of the day (no nudity)
  • ‘The Daily Show’ will be filming from Austin this week, so it should be an interesting and entertaining week.  When Kimmel filmed in Austin he had Gov Perry on as a guest, so I wonder if he’ll make his way to Stewart’s desk.
  • I never heard of Clamato until I watched ‘Last Week Tonight’ last night.  At first I thought it was a joke along the lines of Tomacco.
