927 E. 41st

I get that, but doesn't seem impossible. It's only a quarter mile or so. It wouldn't even be much of a tunnel if they decided to go that route.

Moondog's and Latitude were both great. Had Marriott points, so stayed at the Fairfield. It was okay. Fairly new, but all of the glass has this bizarre blue window tint, it was strange enough to make me stay elsewhere if I was going back anytime soon. Next trip Otto's in Fredericksburg was also great. Had a perfect day for hiking Enchanted Rock. Does anybody know why we still have the damn ferry instead of a bridge to connect to Port A? I assume that any bridge that would allow shipping to pass in the channel would be prohibitively tall/steep. Still think they could build a "climbing loop" entrance and exit with a lift bridge.

So it’s still true? The last tornado to hit Oklahoma did 89 million dollars worth of improvements.

I love Hana, but I like to go out there and stay 4-5 days. The hotel out there has changed hands 4-5 times that I know of and I think Hyatt has a hand in it now. But if you drive out there and rent one of their beach houses you won't be sorry. I understand that there are many B+B's that are probably a better deal. Also, the hotel operates a Cessna Caravan from Kahului (OGG) to the Hana airport (HNM). It's something like a 10-12 minute flight. If you try and do an out and back in one day you miss a lot and yeah that would kind of be a beating. Also, Lindbergh's grave is kind of requirement if you hold any level of pilots license.

A lot of the guys I work with end up doing a lot of overnights (sometimes unexpected) at DFW. The cheap deals always seem to be the hotels on Esters Blvd on the North side of DFW. There is a Red Roof, Quality Inn, Wingate and a Westin. To the South of 114 there is a Sheraton. I've heard no complaints, I'm sure the Westin and Sheraton are the nicest of the group but probably the most expensive.

While we are talking Rockport, has anyone gone down for the Hummingbird migration? I'm sure my wife would love to see that.

Was it Gordon Ramsey? That guy knows how to yell at his kitchen. On a serious note, thanks for the update on the breakfast tacos. It's walking distance from where we are staying, so that's a definite go. Do they have good coffee too? I'm willing to make multiple stops.

Thanks guys, wife had heard of Latitude and has now made a dinner reservation. Really good to know about Boiling Pot, I hate it when an old favorite goes under but an old favorite not living up to standard is worse.

Going to fly into Fredericksberg for a couple of days and then Rockport. Have everything planned out except for two dinners in Rockport. Anybody have suggestions/reviews.

Looks like the stadium is only 4 miles or so from the airport. Depending on traffic though that could be a long 4 miles.

I'm going to try and make every game the year I'm forced to retire (2025), but staying in a moldy hotel or doing the iron man road trip is NOT in my plans. Some of you guys are indeed hard core. Hats off to you gentlemen!

Did seat and parking selection this afternoon and the website was just as glitchy as the OU selection. Got it done but it wasn't smooth.

That helped tremendously. One browser was hanging up at that page, but was able to get it done on another one. Thanks.

Got the email, clicked on the link. Put 6 tickets to OU in the basket, pick the away games I think I can make. Go to the closeout page and nothing in the basket. Hit continue renewal, can't do that because you have things in the basket. So at some level I have things in the basket, but when I check it shows nothing again. Tried on three different browsers, same result

Yeah, I had a guy at work try and make a similar pitch. Before that, when a guy said something like "your wife is beautiful" I assumed it was just a compliment not an invitation to a swingers evening.

He had created the team and environment. Is it any wonder the team wasn't focused on football, and oh how it showed. The team followed the lead of the coach, and he wasn't focused on football either.

Ummm, valid comparison but Herman could at least fake it in person(even though it showed). Both of them seemed to think they were the smartest SOB in the room, a dangerous assumption that is probably only made by a narcissist. Patterson liked to treat everyone like they were a know nothing POS. Probably not the best approach when you are asking for big donations, maybe you could at least return a call to guy like Red. By comparison DKR didn't have to be nice to kids, but when I met him, he was. Mack's personality was a well known plus, I'm not important enough for them to remember, but Mack would shake my hand and call me by name. Also, while Charle is in the discussion for worst coach in any sport to set foot on the 40, Patterson did him NO favors.

Red didn't hate Strong, even though his comment was spot on. His problem was being disrespected by Patterson. But in all fairness Steve Patterson disrespected everyone not named Steve Patterson. I've never met a bigger A-hole and with any luck he will be the high water mark.

He metabolized it out after about 30 days, so you could say he pissed it all away.

About as much as the girl looked like a threat.

Sad day. If you remember he hitch-hiked to College Station because he wanted to play football, they told him to piss-off so he hitch-hiked to Austin. His desire and effort were recognised here and the rest is history. So think of it, T.Boone Pickens starts playing basketball at A&M and then transfers to Okie A&M (now state) and later he contributes many millions. Red McCombs gets passed over by A&M, comes to Texas where he later contributes many millions. If both of those guys had stayed at A&M... They could have both had a lifetime working at a gas station!

You just have to be worse than one other option every time.

The thing I enjoy most about watching how talented Mahomes is, that Tech had him for three years and they managed one winning season!

Sorry Slacks, but I'm going to disagree with you, slightly. If he is a bad interview, he may never get a HC job and it's really nothing more than that. It's not reasonable to expect to ever be the face of a billion dollar operation if you can't make it through an interview with the people who will be your bosses. A couple of side stories, one of my buddies asked me to meet a woman that was interviewing for a job where I worked. Foreign language skills were such a plus that you would almost be a shoe-in if you were a half decent speaker. She knew French. So I meet her for lunch and I'm giving out some pointers that the interviewer will likely be looking for as well as what I know about the job and the company. At one point I ask a question about how she was preparing for the interview, she responds with "Oh, I don't want to be over prepared". I tried to be as helpful as I could, maybe I should have said what I was thinking. "I DON"T KNOW WHAT OVER PREPARED IS!" But I didn't and I doubt it would have helped. She wasn't over prepared. All I heard back was that she didn't get the job. A while back, a guy comes in to interview with us where I work. No suit, wrinkled shirt, unshaven, missing some documents that he was supposed to bring. Still had an attitude, something like -I'm so qualified/deserving that NOTHING else matters and I'm a shoe-in. Claims that his suits/documents were in his car that got flooded down in Houston (reasonable, since the flooding was recent). Still no reason you couldn't shave, iron your shirt and drop the attitude. I can't remember what the starting pay was, but it pays $200- $300K by year three, live anywhere you want, 12-18 days off a month, pretty sweet deal. Yeah, he didn't make it either despite the company being desperate to fill the position. Probably too Freudian, but if you aren't willing to do everything within your power to show well in an interview, deep down you don't want the job or doubt your abilities and it's best for everyone involved that you don't get hired.
