Both of my readers may have noticed that the blog posts are few/far between lately. My bad! I am supplementing the blog with more “Dirty Jobs” type work. Man, sometimes I think it may have been easier if I had chosen “Shark Week” rather than Dirty Jobs in order to emulate a TV phenom. This […]

All of The Dallas Cowboys family are in our prayers this week, especially those seriously injured.  How bizarre and tragic. Here is some of the most incredible, on-the-spot video reporting we have seen in a while … Thanks to Dallas’ ABC affiliate, WFAA-TV and CNN as posted on YouTube: Go Cowboys!

I won’t lie. My ears perked up when I heard that former Texas Tech great Kliff Kingbury was on the coaching staff at Houston … for tomorrow’s upcoming Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Remember?
