  1. well the wife loves The Gage. But I would like to try out Lajitas Resort. She went on a girls trip there and loved it as well. What I don't like about staying at The Gage or far from the park is that it pretty much keeps you from eating at Starlight or pounding drinks in Terlingua or at La Kiva, etc. Way too far a drive back to Marathon after dinner/drinks. this now has my interest https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/20571511?guests=1&adults=1 lots of interesting airbnb rentals out there.
  2. we've stayed in Marathon at The Gage and driven in the park each day. Other options that are a lot closer would be Lajitas Resort or Cibilo Creek Ranch
  3. watched Hell or High Water last night. Very much enjoyed it. Nominated for four Academy awards including best picture. Jeff Bridges was great as a crotchety Texas Ranger (basically recreated his Rooster Cogburn role in modern day). Fun movie.
  4. I’ve seen baby seals put up a bigger fight than Gruver
  5. This is like in high school basketball when the freshmen come in cocky and the varsity players say “ok let’s play a pick up game and see what you got “
  6. So does Mart exceed the 80 points they scored earlier in the playoffs?
  7. probably just Bregs announcing which Hooters girl he will be taking out for New Years Eve

    Billy Joel

    as mentioned earlier - this is a fabulous album. WIth a great track list. Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway) 5:05 Summer, Highland Falls 3:03 Streetlife Serenader 5:17 Los Angelenos 3:48 She's Got A Way 2:44 Everybody Loves You Now 3:10 Say Goodbye To Hollywood 4:25 Captain Jack 7:16 You're My Home 3:07 The Ballad Of Billy The Kid 5:28 I've Loved These Days I'll probably get roasted for this, but I still love Scenes from an Italian Restaurant...of course I think a lot of that has do with that album playing the night in high school when a certain girl acquiesced to young Maroon's charm and waived him around third to home plate.
  9. Spy Museum
  10. you damn right. we'll always have game 7 CFM!
  11. there was no scenario under the Sun where Delpit was not going to LSU.
  12. just read on Facebook. Under new ownership and will reopen today at 2:00pm. All is not lost.
  13. FIL just got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Hasn't yet seen an oncologist to find out his life expectancy, but at 85 yrs old I'm thinking it ca't be long. Going in a month to see him for Christmas. Sort of expect it's the last time we will see him alive.
  14. when our kids were younger my wife and her Mom spent a week in Paris. One day she took the kids to Disney. Best day ever - we no longer had to spend the time and serious cash to take them to Disney in Orlando. It was well worth that one day.
  15. Live and Let Die Easy Rider The Big Easy
  16. Once...but I guess five is pretty close.

    Whatcha reading?

    collection of his speeches published by his son. Very interesting read.
  18. not new, but we did the Sunday Supper at State of Grace again last night. It might be the best deal in town - $29 per person for five courses. Everything we had was simply outstanding. first course - biscuit, country ham, and jelly second course - green salad Entree - chicken fried steak and gravy topped with a fried egg. (other choices available were pan seared red snapper, T-Bone, cavatelli with short rib, duck casoulet, fried chicken). Sides for the table - potato casserole, squash, Brussel sprouts (our three choices from the menu of eight options - you get three choices for the table). Dessert - Chocolate bourbon pecan cupcake. Menu from last night (it changes each week - although some are carryovers each week - CFS, Fried chicken, etc.) http://stateofgracetx.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/SOG_SS_111819.pdf
  19. looks like someone fucked up the latest fertilizer application Could have been this guy
  20. it's the dismal tide. it's not the one thing.
  21. Grab a brew...don't cost nothing
  22. For Po-Boys you go to Pop's or Olde Tyme Grocery... suggest you do both and compare. The French Press is awesome for breakfast Johnson's Boucaniere for the Parrain Special (grilled cheese stuffed with Boudin)
  23. the police accident report said he did (linked). The person that called the police (ambulance driver) had his partner there. So I guess you could say that two people confirmed it. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/politics/texas/article/Police-reports-detail-Beto-O-Rourke-s-1998-13195088.php
