  1. Watched Sir Doug and the Genuine Texas Cosmic Groove last night. Okay, but not enthralled. Too fast paced, clips were short and hurried. Seemed to have a lot of time spent on weak Vancouver and Scandinavian ventures. Didn't seem to mention the Turkey Day Jam, which I thought embodied the Austin years. Good stuff on Soap Creek and Texas Tornado periods.
  2. Izzy's Deli on Main used to be a good lunch place. Specializes in Rueben sandwiches.
  3. We found it hilarious. The profanity and sacrilege didn't bother us. We found the dancing and singing delightful, and the actor who played Elder Cunningham did quite well, almost Chris Farley in his athleticism.
  4. Going to see The Book of Mormon tomorrow night. Christmas present from our kids to me and Abuela Gringa.
  5. According to the April 12 South Jetty, "Opening for regular guests June 1. During April and May, the resort will be open for groups."
  6. Stopped by last week and tried the ribs. Pork ribs. Good, but don't compare to the brisket. Everyone has his strengths and weaknesses.
  7. NM - shoulda started with Google image search. I never saw Ocean's 11, so didn't recognize the group as them.
  8. Okay, somebody help me. (l-r) ?,?, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr., Frankie, Deano, Peter Lawford, Don Rickles?, Jack Palance? top, ? below, Norman Fell, ? Tough job identifying all. Extended Rat Pack? Las Vegas stars?
  9. Willie's first in 1973. Kid in white tee shirt at lower left center is my now 50 year old son (a few here know him on Surly).
  10. Corrected and seconded.
  11. There was a whole series of these biographies of famous men's (and women's) lives as youths. I must have read scores of them in elementary school. Graduated to more adult books by about sixth grade.
  12. Liberty is always a lady. Anyway that's too nice a tit for a guy (outside of Thailand - NTTAWWT)
  13. Yes, we like their sliced brisket sandwiches. Good comments on their ribs, which I plan to try sometime. Don't know if pork or beef. Brisket baked potato and brisket chili pie are okay. It's in downtown Nixon on SH 80.
  14. Sheman's battle flag at San Jacinto. Original hangs in the House of Representatives in the Texas Capitol.
  15. I see Pioneer BBQ in Nixon is already on the map. Good stop on the way back from the coast.
  16. Watched all the seasons of Inspector Lewis, who got his start as Inspector Morse's sergeant. Then I watched Endeavor about Morse's early career. Subscribed to Britbox so I can watch Inspector Morse. I hope it is as good as the others. I enjoy the British mysteries.
