  1. Do we think that the Horns get the Visitor bench? I'm hoping so as I'm in the first row section 13 right by it. It'll be my kids first Longhorns sporting event.
  2. my dad was born in rural Wisconsin back in '36. All bias aside, then man could cook circles around everyone of you and your families. I shit you not. He learned what tasted like shit from the Navy but it also helped him find was was amazing and different from his travels in that Submarine. He spent time in SEA with the Ford Foundation in the 60's and his "work" kept him traveling all over North America. Wisconsin State Journal came to house and did a story about his Chinese cooking, meals were planned and executed around the writings of James Beard and Craig Claiborne. He would drive out of his way to find small restaurants and markets and make friends with the proprietors and learn new shit from them. I won't ever order sweet & sour pork anywhere because its just crap everywhere and not like how dad made it. Same for Ratatouille. He traveled 2 to 3 days a week, and. loved it when he was home because I missed him but also because of the food he'd make, sometime friend tofu, always made in the garage in one of the plug in electric fryers or I;d find dough rising on the counter for homemade pizza, always thing crispy crust. Ice Cream...he made a mean homemade ice cream, usually it went into a float. We most him in '88 and I still see him on my mind in the kitchen, apron on.
  3. They are fine and cheap as fuck. our school district gives them out to the kids. makes sense, cheap, enough SSD space, everything else is cloud storage and apps. If you are a windows users thy are useful option.
  4. better than Texas, Dave Portnoy can't find a good slice here but it exists. Slices: try Mesino in Deer Park...they make special off the menu sit, they are all from Naples. Pies: https://www.saveriospizza.com/menu/
  5. Double Dave's Pepperoni Rolls via Buffet was a deal Gumby's....could walk around the Frat House or the Waterford and collect coupons off discarded PIzza boxes for a free cheese pie. Gatti's...broke my leg hoping over the fence at the Balcones one, remember going there the day my dad died, crushed much pizza, sticks, etc at the MLK and Far West locations. My wife is from NY, one trip to ACL Fest I turned her on to Gattis post festival as we ate in our hotel room, she understood the nostalgia and the deliciousness of the cheese sticks srsly, or eggs rolls off the food carts for like $2
  6. I'd kill for a Gatti's on Long Island, yes we have stellar pizza but I miss my Cinnamon Sticks and the BBQ Chicken PIzza. So many memories of Gatti's especially the one off Balcones Drive by 2222.
  7. I bet Dogs and other animals would disagree with this. I bet from their POV there are plenty of asshole digs, and they should know. There is a goldendoodle out there that some jack russell thinks is an asshole.
  8. man, this sucks
  9. ah shit, this must be a doctor thing
  10. hanging with some Doctor friends the other day and they shared some newborn names they encountered in the NICU. one of easy, the other...maybe not so much What are these names.... 1) La_a 2)JKMN
  11. part of the UFC....letting them know that you may not be right for them, ICP be damned
  12. underlooked and critical aspect of sales...disqualifying
  13. company went being on the precipice of acquiring two other companies (a competitor and an adjacent) to being acquired by a complimentary partner. crazy times.
  14. most beers in a can or draft are 5%. Current Fish & Oyster is really good and the bar next door..."Under Current" is cool I sat at the Copper Onions bar and had a really good meal recently. Get the Pork Belly https://www.thecopperonion.com/foodmenu One would not think to get Sushi in a land locked town on the high plains but https://www.takashisushi.com/ is no fucking joke. Yardbird here is good : https://www.prettybirdchicken.com/
  15. Grand Floridian Pool bar was good to dad. Same for JW Marriott on Marco Island. Disney with twin 6YO's was fun, minor meltdowns but all in all a success. the Boy rode Tron, Space Mountain and GOTG and really loved Thunder Mountain. think I have a rollercoaster kid.
  16. I'm about two hours from flying home to NY from two days of meetings in Chicago and early in the morning we fly to Orlando....twin 6YO's first Disney. Short 4 day trip. I've not been since I was probably their age. Then driving over to Marco Island for another 4 days. I self medicate and drink so I suspect this will as fun as humanly possible.
  17. I live 50 mile from the FiDi....my whole house shook, made for a fund Zoom call
