    You know what this means? I need to get a better television.

    It did. Initially, I was asking why Mae would write that, but then it occurred to me that Camille might just be wondering, who wrote it? Amma?

    Now that we're done with the whole thing I can see why someone thought this should have been a mini-series. They just botched it. I don't think it was about just not getting along, because they did get along... those dead girls were seen as threats to Amma's relationship with Adora, and later Camille.

    “Terms of Endearment” Houston Best friend’s grandma’s house was the house Jack Nicholson’s character lived in. “Powder” was shot in Wharton “Rollerball” with James Caan. Set in Houston and filmed a few scenes there. The Alley Theater in Houston was the entrance to “Westworld” in the original movie oh, and “Murder at the World Series” was shot in the Astrodome. Humblebrag, I got a kiss from Karen Valentine during a break in production while she was signing an autograph for me.

    I got drunk and went to see Jenny Jones while in Chicago. Spent the entire time booing the women onstage and trying to start a riot offstage.

    I had no idea Ossai didn't want to come to Texas

    Somehow that NEVER seems to break in our favor. If the kid loves Texas, Mom always prevails. If Mom loves Texas, the kid always prevails.

    As a former POA All-Star and later a coach at POLL, roll-on boys! Not all 62 have been as POLL. Until they moved over to Augusta/San Felipe in the early to mid-80s they were two distinct leagues, Post Oak American and Post Oak National. They played over at the Pin Oak Stables, SE of the 59/610 interchange, just north of Gulfton. I believe Chimney Rock may have been the dividing line. I was POA. There were two all-star teams, which diluted the talent somewhat, and we usually wound up squaring off over at Bayland Park in the area all-star tournament. It's not surprising that this is their deepest run because they play in an area that is historically one of the toughest around. Braeburn, Sharpstown, Bellaire, Westbury, were all juggernauts back in the day, and throw in Pearland, Memorial Ashford, its still pretty stout.

    Spent every weekend and all my summers in Jamaica Beach when I was growing up. My favorite lunch spot back then was the Sand Dollar, which was a pool hall/hamburger joint across the highway from Red's West End Grocery. We would go out into West Bay with our own shrimp net and catch enough to last us a few days. Big ones got boiled or fried, small ones were used as bait at night under the lights on our canal. Learned how to surf during the winters on a surfboard I bought at Sunrise Surf Shop back when it was on 61st Street, adjacent to Offats Bayou. Galveston was a great place to grow up back then. Today, I try to avoid downtown or the Strand if I can. Since they moved the courthouse closer to the end of the Causeway, I can't recall the last time I ventured down Broadway. I second Bennos. In fact, when I visit Houston at the end of the month I guarantee that my Dad will insist that I take him down there just for that.

    In May 2017 I went back to my alma mater to walk around one last time before they tore it down. I met Principal Trihn, whom I had seen on the Parts Unknown "Houston" episode. I told him that episode made me more proud to be a Robert E. Lee grad than at any point in the close to 40-years prior to it. He said AB was sincere and kind. The kids loved him. They were all proud to have been a part of the episode. Mr. Trihn walked around with my 12-year old and I while we talked. She was actually able to walk away with a couple ob boxes of fossils from the science labs that were not going to make the trip to the new school, and I landed two Lee basketball jerseys that were closer to my era than present day. Fun day.

    Depends on the trek. For instance, last year we split the troop and let the younger kids do Guadalupe Peak, and the older kids did the canyon. So, we had about 18 kids total. If it's too daunting, or if there's not an easier option, the younger kids will stay home and we'll get about 9 or 10 older kids going.

    Sort of has a "True Detective" feel to it.

    Now taking suggestions for a trek for our Scout Troop over the long-weekend preceding Thanksgiving . We typically go out to Palo Duro Canyon, and are thinking about substituting McKittrick Canyon/Guadalupe Peak instead, but I'm all ears. Must be within driving distance of DFW (within 10 hours, because per BSA "[d]riving time is limited to a maximum of 10 hours in one 24-hour period regardless of the number of drivers available). Also, we are doing Eagle Rock Loop in February 2019, so that's out. THANKS

    WWII Soldier Laid to Rest I tried to attend this funeral today at DFW National Cemetery, but couldn't get away from work. It's not everyday that an opportunity presents itself to honor a soldier killed in action in 1944.

    That's akin to complimenting the pilot on a smooth flight, until the crash landing.
  21. Saint Tacky
    Hold please. John Cooper on line one.
  22. Saint Tacky
    Seriously...

    Man in the Wilderness with Richard Harris. The Revenant meets Jeremiah Johnson.

    Technically they did pass -on the plan for the first pass.

    She was going to see Janoris Jenkins. I hope.
