- One of the highest honors of my life is being a trustee of a scholarship set up in memory of my friend by his mother. Over the weekend we discovered an anonymous $5,000 deposit was made to the scholarship. After a small bit of detective work, we found out it was made by an NFL quarterback.
- I caught the rest of that HBO ‘Real Sports’ segment about golf, and other than the 15-inch hole there was talk of footgolf. Basically you use your feet and a soccer ball instead of clubs and a golf ball, with a hole big enough for the soccer ball. In tournament play you actually dress up like Payne Stewart – golf pants with argyle socks, cap, and collared shirt. To my surprise, I found out such a course exists in the city I reside in at Lakepark Golf Club, and there’s a total of six in the area. I tried looking for local courses with the 15-inch golf hole, and it looks like Cowboys Golf Club offers it, though I’m not sure how often.
- I currently live in Lewisville but I grew up in Mineral Wells. I feel like I should call Mineral Wells my hometown, but I’m not sure how to refer to Lewisville. WifeGeeding thinks I should call Lewisville my hometown as it’s our current home and Mineral Wells as the town in which I grew up. Thoughts, suggestions?
- A drone was flying around our neighborhood yesterday, glad I wasn’t taking a wiz in the backyard at the time.
- Disclaimer, I’m married to a Baylor alumnus – I tend to think Baylor folk are awfully high of themselves and their university, even more so compared to any other university. So it cracked me up when I read the author bio of this article in which I’m sure she wrote herself: “Monica Mollica holds a Bachelor and Master degree in Nutrition from the University of Stockholm / Karolinska Institue, Sweden. She has also done PhD level course work at renowned Baylor University, TX.” So not only is it renowned but it is now an actual city?
- There’s lots of talk of presidential impeachment as of late, and news of Republicans most likely taking back the Senate makes that interesting, but I’m not so sure if conservatives really want a President Biden.
- First it was Gov Good Hair and Sean Hannity getting a photo op at the Texas/Mexico border, now it will be U.S. House Representatives Peter King and Michelle Bachmann.
- The El Paso Times don’t seem to be big fans of Gov Perry’s border plan.
- $9.95 a month or $99.95 for a one-year subscription – Sarah Palin begins her own online channel
- I think Jerry Jones has gained a good 30-lbs from last season.
- I caught a show on the History channel about outdated stuff and one of which was hotel keys, which I only have faint memories about. For some reason I found it interesting that the show stated the key cards only cost the hotels four cents each.
- I had a dream in which I got to flip the coin at the Super Bowl, but I went way over the top and flipped it so high and off center it took the officiating crew a good five minute to find it. The officials asked the players and coaches to knot help because they were worried they might flip it in their favor. The next day no one talked about the game but about the dude with the crazy coin flip top. Instead of me giving my first interview to the ‘Today Show’ I decided to give it to Dunham and Miller on The TICKET.
- Speaking of The TICKET and the Musers and pretty decent shtick – FOXNARD – “Open Mike” with the Musers
