  1. In the bad, bad old days when I practiced in Lubbock (ca 1984), I had played a round of golf at Hillcrest Country Club with a group of friends. I had never played there before. After the round, we settled in to a table at the 19th hole for some braggadocio and to settle up. An older gent, already several libations in to his post-round festivities was directly behind me, holding court with a bunch of similarly aged old jocks. (Not ex-jocks, there's no such thing)I recognized him immediately, but none of my Raider friends did. I had the pleasure of a few minutes of conversation with him, and I hold those memories dear. He was delightful. He was drunk enough to be hilarious, but not drunk enough to be obnoxious. Years later, when business was good, my family moved in to a rambling old house on 24th street in the Tech Terrace area. The neighbor lady from the beautiful house three down from us on the corner came strolling past, checking out the new riff-raff, I'm sure. We visited for a second, and I introduced myself to her. She said "I'm Carol Layne-you know, Bobby's widow. He built this house". So yes, Bobby's in my top three.

  3. I'm in. Running, politics, dogs, Longhorns-the usual. Seems much less toxic than X.
  4. I spent the first couple of years of the pandemic coming home at night, disinfecting, changing into uncontaminated clothing, drinking wine, and listening to Clemson alum Jesse Rice on Tropic Rock, wishing I was anywhere but where I was. That's all I've got. Otherwise, fuck Clemson.
  5. Wonder who won the college fb championship that year?

    CSB incoming. My youngest son was one of the costume supervisors on this show, and got to shepherd BBT around greater Jacksboro for a couple of days.They commandeered the local hospital for a shoot, and Hunter and BBT were standing by the door to the emergency room when a woman in labor happened in. Billy Bob opened the door for her, tipped his hat, and said "Ma'am". Holding her gravid belly with both hands, she looked at my boy with a quizzical expression. He just shook his head and said "No one will ever believe you".
