  1. @briskettexan warms my heart you saw Hightower. Labor Day 1989 he, I and a group of state congressmen/judges got “stung” by federal game wardens for shooting doves over an allegedly baited field over in Hackberry. That was the day I saw Mark Stiles try to kick Terry Schaunessy’s ass. Edit - delete post, ban user. Wrong Hightower. I’m thinking of Allen.
  2. What a tool. That statement alone is so idiotic. “Oooh a free speech platform!!” (Used to make people suffer and die) (Founder gets compromised, starts looking for the ripcord) “Grumble grumble but freedommm” Pretty sure the right to not get shelled or your children blown up at school supersedes the right to assemble and communicate.
  3. A recovered addict and former prostitute named Shannae baked my first sobriety anniversary birthday cake in her easy bake oven. She had legs like Tina Turner and I had no idea that she even knew my name. When she presented it to me in front of several dozen people I cried like a baby, and that was the most delicious cake I’ve ever eaten. I’ll cherish that memory til my dying days, though it’s been a few years since I’ve seen her. She also made one for my buddy Charlie (Sawbonz knew him) RIP, he died from Covid. Also - because I crack myself up - I’m gen X but half of me did a year in ‘Nam - couldn’t see shit though.
  4. Woke up this morning with unlimited options and absolute freedom. I have a day to myself before getting back on a plane and going to work. Decided to attend a morning meeting, where I saw a dozen people with around 40 years continuous sobriety that helped me get sober back in 2011, sprinkled in with a few newcomers. Old habits die hard - I remember my first weeks of sobriety when this guy would walk into the meeting and share his quiet, calm confident demeanor and I would immediately think “thank goodness this guy showed up, we finally have some adult supervision in the room.” He showed up today and that popped into my mind, and my hope is that 20 years from now I have the same reaction. For anyone struggling, we really are here to help - because though it’s been a while since I had a morning like yours, I’m not immune to ending up right back in that place. I’m going to go eat an omelette, take a boat ride, catch a redfish, take a nap, and pack for my trip. Hope y’all have a swell day.
  5. Racist or no?
  6. Very cool. And strategic - way to preserve a reason to return.
  7. Weird flex, man. Just weird.
  8. No. Remember, I tried to help him out when he got out of prison, spent many hours with him. Dropping him off at the greyhound station, taking him to recovery meetings. Finally cut ties for good when he called “just to talk” and ended up begging me to cover his bar tab that he couldn’t pay.
  9. I’m a David Muir man, myself. I call him my pretty Walter Cronkite. I’ve never wanted to suck another guy’s dick but damn, man, he has total BDE. Plus Trump hates ABC so I have to watch.
  10. One of my favorites is “The geology of the Big Thicket.” During the last ice age, the gulf coast was at Woodville.
  11. I was hoping. So when does it happen? October surprise?
  12. No, but her sitting on his lap, them with their arms around each other, her looking into his eyes with pure bliss. He was a tennis player, solid dude. Didn’t kiss and tell but he acknowledged that he had been to a place of many men’s dreams.
  13. Here ya go. The playlist.
  14. My former coworker dated her and lived with her at Texas A&I. He even had pics to prove it. Legend.
  15. Another thing for the kids to file under “things I’ll never get to do” - unwinding a wound balata Titleist tour 90.
  16. The point I took is Joe>Kamala in all aspects other than physical age but she’ll have to suffice.
  17. I think I’ll take today’s 25% run and do exactly that. I got in on Friday morning at 30 and it’s sitting at $38.82
  18. With Steven Cheung, hopefully.
  19. At PH now, had a nice round on #3 and then drinks at the deuce.
  20. Up to almost 32. Use-case includes a lot of military stuff, my son overheard a convo at work (Army) and got in at $2. It’s his first moonshot, #theygrowuptoofast Edit: over 32 fiddy now Who the hell has their “spaceport” in Midland?
  21. All I’ve done is eat this week, my God what a splendid city for foodies. Hotel Chicago has been great; it’s the renovated office building part of the Marina City complex. Marriott Autograph. Huge, nice rooms.
  22. We should have stonked this.
  23. Ha yes. My kid’s office is in the NW corner of 35 W Wacker, right across the river.
  24. Chicago prepping for a big event
  25. Hilarious having my 24 year old dadsplaining Lollapalooza to me. I’m “back when I was 19 there was a band called Jane’s Addiction…” Now they have Chappell Roan.
