  1. I just sent the book photo to my sister with that exact same joke. She moved to Eden Prarie last week. I told her to join a church and the hotdish mafia.
  2. Yeah there’s a reason rehab is colloquial known as “spin dry.” pch bringing the dust. Looking forward to visiting your group again.
  3. I met him once, in the speaker’s office of the USHOR. He was wearing a suit and tie, which was unexpected. And now I have been loudly belting out the Dead Milkmen’s entire catalog @ my dogs and they look confused, so thanks guys.
  4. PCUSA I hope. I’m about to do my 2nd term on the session and I’ve headed up fellowship for 3 years, one luncheon a month. When your average member age is 78 you gotta be careful with the spices. Next weekend we’re taking a chartered bus to an Astros game and this year they made me buy primo seats because last year the old folks almost fell trying to get to their seats. I’ve gotten to be close friends with our pastor and I still don’t know if she’s a lesbian because it’s none of my fucking business who or if she fucks. In fact, the question has only sped through my brain for a fleeting moment because it’s unimportant - and, tbh, it was male ego, ie “she is a wonderful lady. I’m lucky she is leading our church. I wonder if she is attracted to me?” And all the conservative assholes departed for the PCA or Pioneer Presbyterian church, and PCUSA is so damned liberal and loving and I am so grateful I’ve never heard anything remotely political at church other than love thy neighbor. It’s a magical la la land where we still sing 300 year old hymns.
  5. There’s no way I could go to the Apollo without singing the intro to the show I watched when I was a kid.
  6. TIL that Skipjack and Ladyfish is the same thing.
  7. From the responses:
  8. This rain won’t stop and I’ve got cabin fever so I’m organizing a box of stuff my mom slipped into my truck a while back. Right after dad got home from ‘Nam he went on a long trip to Mexico. I’m guessing Acapulco. I just noticed the Bacardi sign in the background.
  9. Lastly, this is suggested for the wife. She didn’t cause it, she can’t cure it, and she can’t control it - but she can find her own respite. https://al-anon.org/
  10. Also, I have a very good long time sober lawyer friend who went to https://parcbh.com/find-help-today/?utm_campaign=teen&utm_adgroup=teen-rehab&keyword=rehab%20for%20young%20adults&gbraid=0AAAAABQ1rtLS00Sdp1361dKlYY7pNw6dN&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtZK1BhDuARIsAAy2Vzvwk3ZT47J1m2wkkr3pxKWgQ8wRJ3JEwRMTBhSvVQjF1NPOqQGYPS0aAs2cEALw_wcB And he was very satisfied with their treatment.
  11. Is he the type of drinker that will likely require medical detox? I can vouch for https://www.rightsteprehabhouston.com and can pm you the name and number of someone there. Houston actually has a world class place called the Menninger clinic https://www.menningerclinic.org and if I had to refer someone and price is no object I’d go there. But honestly if I got struck drunk after almost 14 years of sobriety and needed to go to rehab I’d go to La Hacienda. Or he could just do what he will end up probably having to do and go to AA. Put the plug in the jug, hang up his drinking life, and accept that he’s one of the lucky ones. Meeting finder at https://aahouston.org/meetings/ AA is simply the most entertaining, life-changing, and meaningful thing I’ve ever done. I would be happy to offer my phone number and time to speak with him, if just to answer any questions and reassure him that he can get better. I’ll shoot you a PM.
  12. Also, I made a little money on RAMP last year but Google is not eliminating cookies anymore so any alternative tech companies are in for a hard sledding.
  13. I’m about to become a believer. I tried to sell them some tech a few years back and then last time I was in Midland I stopped by their “spaceport”. I’ve been of the opinion they were a total scam but now they have satellites scheduled for launch. My son who is military loaded up on their stock last year unbeknownst to me until yesterday.
  14. Beaumont? I keep Seafood Lover in business. Fresh cocktail claw meat. Comes right off, tender and sweet.
  15. 25 years ago my company paid the B52s to play a customer dinner. I bought drinks for Fred, Kate and me at the hotel bar and sat at a banquette and chatted with them while the crew unloaded their gear. I told them the story of how all my HS buddies were into high end car audio systems and we used Rock Lobster as the standard song when comparing/evaluating gear. /csb
  16. If he didn’t have one shitty round at the PGA, and if he hadn’t 3 jacked a few minutes ago, he really had a chance to win more.
  17. Dang it Scottie. Ok, come on Rosie. Or Billy. Or Shane. Rory basically carried him at the Zurich, it’s good to see him playing well.
  18. Scottie! Good day to watch golf. My grandmother skipped church once a year, Sunday at the Open. Here’s to my Nana.
  19. I just finished Hillbilly Elegy, and I thought it was a really good social commentary that made me re-think many of my perceptions as an elite born on 3rd base and married to a social worker. I’ll reserve other opinions for CR, other than to say that he emerged from the rust belt with a surprisingly optimistic attitude in contrast to the Florida governor. It wasn’t quite as enjoyable as Michelle Obama’s book, but then again, she had great family role models.
  20. I took this earlier tonight. My new hero.
  21. Took the Captain to the short rigs on Sunday.
