- I could tell WifeGeeding was a bit homesick, so my Father’s Day present to her and her dad was to have her and the kids make a surprise visit to the grandparents after lunch yesterday. I mean, after the kids giving me presents and eating lunch with me, there really wasn’t anything else Father’s Day related to do other than treat it as another day. And besides, statistically speaking, I have a lot more Father’s Day left than my father-in-law, so he should get to enjoy his grandkids while he still can.
- The NFL Network focused on the 70’s recently and I caught the “10 Best Quarterbacks of the 70’s”. Roger Staubach ended up at number one, and they showed clips of something I totally forgot about . . . how the network use to start to roll credits on the screen even before the game was over and during a comeback.
- Dirk may soon replace Staubach as my favorite Dallas athlete. Number three on the list, Tatu. Here’s an old clip of Tatu scoring a goal on a bicycle kick.
- Two quotes have stuck with me while watching the new season of ‘Orange Is the New Black’:
- It’s hate speech. It’s not meant to be accurate, it’s meant to be hurtful.
- Hold on tightly, let go lightly.
- When it comes to words like “is” and “the” I always forget which ones to capitalize when using them in a title.
- This guy has a pig that is going through an identity crisis.
- The URL www.relentless.com will take you to Amazon.com. That’s because at one time that was going to be the name of the company.
- San Antonio, enjoy while you can. That was a pretty touching moment seeing Duncan hug his two kids tightly with a tear about to drop from his eye. It was also nice to see former players David Robinson, Avery Johnson, and Sean Elliott take part in the celevrations.
- You’ve heard of a smart-watch, now there’s a smart-ring.
- 106.1 KISS FM – 27 facts you may not know about DFW – I didn’t know Woodrow Wilson High School is the only high school to produce two Heisman Trophy winners.
- The Lack of Major Wars May Be Hurting Economic Growth
- I graduated high school twenty years ago and thought then that Stephen Hawking didn’t have long to live.
- If you don’t get the picture at the top of this post, then you didn’t listen to much John Couger Mellencamp in the 80’s.

- When it comes to cleaning the bathroom, I’m a big fan of using Comet.
- I ordered a Ninja blender off of Woot the other day and it arrived at my doorstep yesterday. The first order of business was to make a mean milk shake for the family.
- Our CEO is the type that says we can email her anytime about anything, so I decided to take her up on that offer. The next day she called my mobile phone and we had a friendly and constructive 45-minute conversation.
- Speaking of work, I’ve been working some crazy hours this week, well into the double digits for a couple of days. Yesterday DaughterGeeding walked into my office and just sat down all nice and content. I asked what she was doing and she said that everyone’s been playing downstairs and I looked lonely, so she just wanted to be with me. Touching, but she may have been buttering me up for something.
- DaughterGeeding was really wanting to get her ears pierced yesterday and I think WifeGeeding wanted me to be the one to say no. My solution, I showed her YouTube videos of girls her age getting their ears pierced, some crying and some that were tough, and she decided she wanted to wait a few years.
- I want what Spurs fans have.
- I wonder how much if any homeowners insurance is involved with that house on Lake Whitney that will be burned down this morning. Man, I’d love to set up a time-lapse recording of that event. UPDATE: WFAA is going to stream the burning at 10:00 AM and interviewed the homeowners who said insurance does not cover earth movement and they’ll be out over $700,000.
- I think Jason Jones of ‘The Daily Show’ has lost some weight and he’s starting to look like he’s in good shape.
- When I’m watching sports and I hear the commentators say “aggressive” the first thing that pops into my mind is the be aggressive cheer.
- The City of Dallas really wants to win the Republican National Convention, that was one heck of a welcoming party they threw for the committee. I always thought conventions were better off in a swing state to help sway things. Local officials have been very gung-ho about this and keep touting that the convention was here when Reagan went on to win reelection. Heck, I’m surprised they didn’t display video and pictures of how a Democratic president was killed here to amp things up even more.
- I was curious as to whatever happened to the female federal judge that swore in LBJ on Air Force One. Upon reading her Wikipedia entry, it turned out that she and no one else knew where to obtain the oath and she even volunteered to make one up. Shortly later she and the presidential staff found out it was actually in the Constitution.
- It was pretty cool for Tesla to open up their patents, but it makes me think they are going to start focusing more on battery production than auto manufacturing.
- Warner Bros. may release seven DC Comics movies in two years
- The State Fair of Texas isn’t until the end of September, but for some reason Buzz Feed decided to make a post about it.
- Instead of working for tips, the wait staff at a Kentucky restaurant makes $10.00 an hour or 20% of their individual food sales, whichever is higher.
