Man … I thought there was one of those two-ton elephant things going on in the room when the press conference started for the first Heart of Dallas Bowl, featuring Oklahoma State and Purdue. Did I miss something?
Did Dallas show everyone too good of a time? I don’t know what the deal was … but the press conference was really subdude and at times I would say the two coaches seemed almost irritable.
Not even sure I understand the difference between irony, coincidence and serendipity. But I luvs ’em all.
And this morning’s events must fall under one of those headings.
‘Tis The Season To Be Shiny
As soon as I landed back in Texas for just a few days “visiting” home, I rushed to the world headquarters of PingWi-Fi and found a stack of my hometown newspapers. Interesting. There was a page-one story about the new Catholic church, which is replacing the old Catholic church … next door to the Dairy Queen, I might add.
Happier Than A Jar Of Christmas Lights!
Bird Spotting!
I won’t lie. There was no Christmas joy when I learned I would be working at the Dirty Gig, the day before the day before Christmas. But dirty is as dirty does … or it is what it is or whatever.
It got better.
It may have not been the most embarrassing moment in my life, but it was certainly in the top 10. I was only about 10 years old, and on the farm, I had “graduated” from driving the entry-level tractor — pulling a “one-way” plow in long lazy circles out in the field.
This one certain summer Dad had put me on the bigger tractor — an International Harvester 1206 diesel — armed with a sweep plow. With a sweep plow, the driver and rig go back and forth, row after row between the fence lines … back and forth, back and forth … but for the novice farmhand it is a little tricky at the end of each row.
It’s got to be one of the top icons for the Thanksgiving holiday. I mean there is thankfulness, overeating, football AND the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Wow. On the one hand the presidential election turned out how I expected. I mean the social media luminaries, Hollywood and what’s left of the traditional media were all lined up to shine Barack Obama’s shoes (you can insert your own analogy there …) And face it … most people in this new social media climate do exactly what they are told to do, or what everyone else is doing. Oh, like that’s so viral. Viral … the new peer pressure.
Monday Night Football! What a perfect time to check out a new place for Wi-Fi. Well Jake’s isn’t new to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, but this location on Camp Bowie in Fort Worth is a fairly recent addition to Westside.
