I forgot the Cowboys played the Sunday night game and not during the day. I was also fortunate enough to watch the first half with my son. Because of all that, I didn’t have time to make a quality post today and tell you all about my trip to see U2 in Las Vegas. So, for now, I’ll just post a few things I found or posted on Twitter.

I hope with all the glee and joy I experienced tonight watching @u2 at @SphereVegas I don't regret, out of embarrassment, posting anything on Twitter.

It was the first time I got to get away from the trials of life and let loose

And yes, I'm still going to call it Twitter. pic.twitter.com/JvRWk2TziN

Fans remain silent until the 10th point is scored. No technical foul is given for the celebration, as a media timeout is issued immediately after Taylor scores its 10th point. Students sing Silent Night in unison to end the game. University-sponsored Christmas party follows game.

In 2018, the University of Texas extended an invitation to play a home-and-home with rival Texas A&M during the 2022-23 football seasons.

After the Aggies declined, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte scheduled Alabama for those two years instead while Texas A&M played… pic.twitter.com/PKobLkYvIp

• I saw that a Tim Hortons will be built by what at one time was called GeedingManor. It would have taken me less than a minute to drive there. In a way, I can imagine the family all walking over there on a Saturday morning for coffee and donuts. Just a stone’s throw away from where it will be is the best donut shop in all of DFW, Sonny Donut (yes, that’s the spelling, it’s not possessive). They are owned by the nicest couple from Korea. Obviously, that place will affect their bottom line, I just hope it’s not too much.

• INTENSE: Footage from inside the Fort Worth bank where a Tarrant County deputy was shot twice during an attempted robbery. You will see the cold-blooded criminal shoot the deputy once in the abdomen and once in the chest. Luckily, the deputy is recovering well. The bond for this…

• I didn’t know the NBA had a “please don’t say that word” policy on the court. Maybe LeBron is trying to start developing an on court decorum. Good luck with all of that. Lol. https://t.co/mk58YpmIUg

• I didn’t expect the University of Texas to make the college playoff (it’s really an invitational if you think about it) either at the start of the season or last week. I just didn’t get the same vibe as I did with that Colt McCoy led team. But, I’m not complaining. Either way, they exited the Big 12 just like they entered it.
• Texas high school football – Southlake Carroll (13-1) suffered its lone loss to Byron Nelson (13-1) in the regular season. Those two teams met in the playoffs over the weekend. It should have been a competitive game, right? The score at halftime, 42-0 Southlake. Final score, 56-7. That’s sports revenge if I ever saw it.

• I’d pee my pants if I recognized him at a restaurant – Harrison Ford really loves Fort Worth restaurants
  • Ford has been coming to Fort Worth regularly for years to update his helicopter pilot training at Bell Helicopter. He seems to enjoy fine-dining establishments, casual taco trucks and high-end cocktail lounges.
• The song Imagine was sung at Rosalynn Carter’s funeral yesterday. What an odd choice for such a devout Christian. The first line is, “Imagine there’s no heaven.”
• I saw the wound doctor yesterday, and he gave me some news. I wasn’t looking for. The short of it is I have to wear one of those wound vacs again.
• While playing Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out I discovered or realized the saying “Saved by the bell” referred to a boxer who was about to be defeated and would be “saved if the bell” that marked the end of a round rang out.
• A week from today I’ll be in Las Vegas to see U2 at the Sphere. I sure hope I’m strong and healthy enough to enjoy it. I haven’t traveled, even a road trip, all this year. All my vacation days have been used as paid time off sick days. In other words, I haven’t been away for a long time, and I could probably use it.
• I wonder what the critic really thinks about the new/updated Australian film – Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman play two of the worst characters ever

  Texas A&M believes it should be among the elite in college football.
