  1. I mean, I really like Walz, but it feels like Kamala Harrris missed a huge opportunity when she passed on Gary Peterson as her running mate.
  2. My daughter didn't consider Colorado for other reasons, but am glad she didn't, because that school is notoriously stingy with any kind of merit aid for nonresidents, probably because the school is always in high demand. Contrast that with Oregon, which threw some generous aid at my daughter, making her college choice so much easier on my finances. And she got into the honors college, giving her a more rigorous curriculum than the gen pop. You may be doing this, but have an honest conversation with your son about college finances. Certainly over the academics in comparing universities, but be honest about what amount you can or will fund, and let them know that their choice might entail taking on a large amount of debt that could possibly take decades to pay off. I'll be rooting for Arkansas, and would have no problem if my son considers going there.
  3. With our luck, Trump will be at the Texas v. Georgia game with Ted Cruz.
  4. Brent Venables never returned his tapes to Blockbuster.
  5. Wife and I went to Asheville for the first time in early August and fell in love with the city. We spent a whole day bar and studio-hopping around the River Arts District, which is located downslope from the center of town and along the banks of the French Broad. The pics I'm seeing of the area are heartbreaking, with a huge numbers of businesses suffering a total loss.
  6. He's eating a pickled beet straight out of the jar using a cocktail sword. I'm going to give him a pass on the glassware.
  7. I heard a Democratic consultant on NPR this morning use the term "poller coaster." I chuckled.
  8. Arch Manning shits towels.
  9. I used to play a CD of John Williams movie scores when my daughter was about 5 years old or so and would always play it in the car. She knew all the tunes to Star Wars, Superman, Raiders, E.T., etc. Even his score for the Olympics was on there. Talk about soundtrack of our lives.
  10. Brent Venables is eating the dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio.
  11. Is perhaps one of them experiencing signs of dementia, and possibly susceptible to some gentle influence?
  12. I think it’s time to name a building on the 40 Acres after him.
  13. There’s definitely something Michelin-worthy at the Chili’s on 45th and Burnet. It’s amazing how packed that place is.
  14. True. And in my 25 years of practicing law, I still come across A LOT of lawyers who, even after three years of law school and several years in the profession, are very poor writers.
  15. We stand with cancer.
