  1. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.
  2. I thought this was one of their better efforts. Plus we won.
  3. Who could have foreseen that the Browns were this clueless?
  4. My grandson played peewee football on a team that was assistant-coached by a former NFL long-snapper-Fred Durst of the Redskins. One of the little dudes got roughed up pretty good on a play, and came over to the sidelines crying his nine-year old eyes out. Six foot four bald headed Durst kneeled down and got right in his face. Pointing vigorously at his little heart, Durst said "Son-embrace the pain! Embrace the pain!" The little dude said through his tears "Okay" and turned around and ran back out to the field.
  5. Gonna switch over to watch Redskins backup quarterback.

  7. So there's been a change of management at El Pescador, and the new managers are off the charts awesome. Rob and Jenny Woodruff, well-known to Lake Fork and Broken Bow fly anglers, have moved in and taken charge. This was probably our most seamless trip ever, in large part due to their expertise. Rob is a Capital-A Aggie, and is one fine flyfisher. So, I've been stalking the fishing reports on the website, just to see my initials listed in the "Grand Slam" mentions. Alas, I was omitted. It is a trivial matter, but I was a little miffed. Here's the strongly worded e-mail I fired off. It’s hard to find something to complain about after we’ve had so many wonderful moments at El Pescador. Nevertheless, I do have a bone to pick. After a few weeks of no fishing reports at all, I checked tonight and found that the website had, indeed, been updated. I clicked on my appropriate dates, hoping to see my name in print. Alas-I was not there. No mention was made of my Grand Slam taken on Tuesday, October 23, with Captain Vincent and Captain Roger. Steven R. got his second El Pescador slam, but no mention of my first. (Incidentally, he also is mentioned in the next week’s report) It is a trivial matter in the grand scheme of things, but it would mean a lot to see “Bill B. got his Grand Slam” in the October 23 report. Looking forward to seeing you next year.OK cool-hook’em.
  8. CSB. I was in Mountain Highway when Dr. Schmidley came in to buy a fly rod for Coach Knight as a “Welcome to Lubbock” gift. Pretty nice Sage.
  9. Headed to the gym. Gonna watch with no sound and backwards in a mirror. Should be awesome.
  10. He was still around last week, but wasn't working the bar. Mostly just hung around the terminal, talking to folks. He looks old all of a sudden.

University head football coach Denny Douds went out in style last Saturday. The 77-year-old college coach, at the time the active leader in NCAA games coached in any division, called a timeout in the waning seconds of his team's 48-35 loss to fellow Division II school Ohio Dominican — and unexpectedly announced his retirement after 45 seasons at the helm of the program.

  18. Koldtbordt? Lutefisk? Lefse? When I lived in northeastern Montana, all of these delicacies were served to my then kindergartner for lunch at the public school, ca 1987. "Ufdah" was a common oath, and I still use it from time to time. Edit: Prob Norwegian.....
