Random Monday Morning Thoughts

  • I saw Tuesdays With Morrie at the Decatur Visitor's Center yesterday. Fantastic. It's being held over for a Saturday night performance and and a Sunday matinee.
  • Performing arts people are different. Fun, but different.
  • I sponsored Saturday night but didn't attend. It was a small crowd, but there was not a single person who ever heard of this blog. Fail.
  • I painted indoors all weekend. Observations: It takes longer to prepare to paint than to actually paint. And I like painting.
  • Obscure sports notes: If you saw the highlight of the Ranger's new catcher (who weighs more than a horse) hit a triple on Friday night, you were highly entertained.
  • Watched Jennifer's Body after midnight on Saturday. Should have been in bed.
  • My work computer died on Friday. Kaput. No life. That may make today's posts a little tricky.
  • Watched some of the Tour de France this weekend. I'll make it to Europe one of these years, but I have no idea what country to make a priority. Probably the only way to do it would be to take two weeks and see multiple countries. (Although I can't see myself ever doing that.)
  • That was the most insane story this weekend out of Mineral Wells: I guy kidnaps a four year old, holds him for ransom, police find the guy and he tells them where the kid is, they find the kid dead, the guy then sneaks away from police, and then they find him the next day and kill him. Wow.
  • More Idiocracy.
  • And somebody made a comment last week, oddly, about how crime in Mineral Wells was really rampant. (Bagofnothing.com guy grew up in Mineral Wells.)
  • Katie Holmes has turned into a Stepford Wife.
  • Just another day in Mexico over the weekend: A guy storms a party and kills 17. Even during the cocaine salad days, I don't remember Columbia being as bad as Mexico.
  • Another small airplane crash in Denton yesterday. Does anyone know how to fly anymore?
  • I think that "Who do you write like" web site that I posted last week is bunk.
  • I have a CBS College Sports channel. As I type this, they are replaying a second round March Madness game between Wake Forest and Kentucky. Who in the world would watch that?
  • A revised looking Star Telegram debuts today:

About Europe, we just got back about a month ago from Germany. Rode a bus around Southern Germany down to the Austrian border. It was great and you should definitely go there sometime.

As for CBS Sports Channel, I saw some other games that they were playing this weekend. I looked at who was playing and that was my same thought.

Katie Holmes may very well be a Stepford wife, but isn't she making a movie in which she plays Jackie Kennedy? - which could explain the look in that picture anyway.

You supported the local arts so not a fail.
If you go to Europe, go in May or September/October. Weather's pretty decent and the teeming horde is not there. Ireland and the UK are good places to start. You can't go wrong along Italy's Amalfi coast. Barcelona = winner. The Costa del Sol is great also. Paris in the fall is awesome. Paris in the summer = beating.

That is all. Please carry on.

Girl today looks ludicrous. Doctor should be shot and girl should have psychiatric eval.

When the drug war was at its height in Columbia we did not let Columbians into our country like we are letting the Mexicans in. The difference is that the dope using hippies from the 60's are now the ruling class in America. I should say the hippies and the children of the hippies (Obama)are the ruling class. And they do rule, they don't represent. If they did they would listen to the voters and shut the border down today. It can be done in 48 hours. During the cold war while stationed in Germany we would be alerted by sirens in the middle of the night and by the next morning at sunrise we would be 200 miles away blocking the Fulda Gap.

"Katie Holmes has turned into a Stepford Wife...."
Of course she has, those Scientologists have had her drugged from day one.

I found CBS Sports Channel looking for the TCU game. I think that was the last time I had it on.

According to the "Who do you write like" site, Hemingway writes like Stephen King.
