I was up at the crack of dawn to run a 5K for charity --- and now I'm plopped down in front of a TV for some good time.
After one quarter, Texas better wake up or my genius OU win prediction might come true.
Edit: Any chance a teenage female intern was in charge of the KRLD twitter feed?
Did you see the story on Fox 4 of the lady who lost her eye when hit by a dart at a State Fair game booth?
A JP in Louisiana refuses to issue a marriage license to interracial couples. But he doesn't have anything against black people because he even "let's them use my bathroom."
I bet the crazy daddy was behind the Balloon Kid story yesterday. And there was some awkward moment when the kid said "we did it for the show" on on Larry King Live last night. Edit: Video. And this morning, when he was asked what he meant by that comment, he threw up twice. Edit: Video.
I hope OU/Texas never move out of the Cotton Bowl.
I have a female friend on Facebook that always updates about food. Now I'm obsessed with keeping track of her food posts.
My Boss' Day gifts yesterday: Homemade salsa, chips, a coffee cup, Gummy Brains (yep), and a bag of miniature Snickers (because I complained that our free Halloween candy in the reception area was the cheapest looking stuff I had ever seen.)
This is my favorite college football weekend of the year.
Decatur won a football game last night beating a horrible Wichita Falls team.
Worst "fake laughers": Sean Hannity and WBAP's traffic girl Laura Houston.
Listening to Tony Romo talk is a Power Down.
Garth Brooks is apparently going to have a gig at t
The Wynn hotel in Las Vegas. Man, what a great job.
But why does everyone hate Garth? For comments like this: "I told him he couldn't afford me," Brooks said. "I was wrong."
Anyone who ever wanted to be a lawyer should have hung out with me yesterday. I would have cured you. It's been a while since I sat alone in a room staring at a wall for 15 minutes.
The comments on here are always from Crazy Town but they seem a lot meaner lately.
This is a crazy story but you can ignore all of it and go to 1:10 for a three second interview with the neighbor. I'm making that my ringtone.
(Thanks emailer.)
Taken this afternoon in some airport hanger in Dallas. Don't mind that guy in the middle, he's just the bagofnothing.com guy. Life isn't fair to me. (Click to enlarge - big time.)
That dot is some kind of balloon or something like that. Developing . . .
Go to cnn.com for a live feed (or dang near anywhere else).
Edit: Youtube video of that thing in flight. (Thanks emailer)
Edit: At 2:30 it landed but there is no boy! Either he was never in there or he jumped somewhere along the way. We gove the Great 2009 Mystery of the Balloon Boy!
He lowers his head dramatically as the music fades, the bill of his hat covering his face. The crowd roars its appreciation. He looks up, perplexed. He takes a look around the arena as he removes his hat. His eyes widen, and a smile forms. For that moment, he reacts as if he has just realized for the first time that the venue is full of people that like him.
Bank on it.
For Gov. Perry to declare Cameon Willingham guilty of murder yesterday is crazy. How does he know? He's doing damage control (he can't have an innocent man executed under his watch, can he?) and looks bad doing it.
The Dow closed above 10,000 yesterday and has increased an amazing 53% since March. Blame Obama.
There was a guy from Nigeria yesterday represent himself in a traffic ticket case in the courthouse who told the jury that it was a racial issue. That ended with a "guilty" by the way.
I would have enjoyed being a computer programmer and, oddly for my current gig, that was my major in college.
I swear I saw an AWACS plane heading towards the old Carswell Air Force Base yesterday.
Our County Attorney got tasered at the Sheriff's Office (voluntarily) with his shirt off. There are pictures. He has them. I've seen them. I'm begging him to let me post a couple of them. You guys would like to see that, right?
Motorcycle death in Dallas last night (no link yet.)
SMU is offering holders of a Texas/OU ticket stub the chance to see its night game against Navy for $10. Good luck with all that.
When I posted the Stephen Wren story two days ago, I decided I wouldn't post any negative comments. I only had to reject one which was a generic negative comment about lawyers.
I don't understand the obese football coach. You preach discipline, dedication, and hard work but you can't control your own appetite? Especially when you are surrounded by athletes?
The previews for "Where The Wild Things Are" creep me out.
Random number: One year tuition for ivy league Columbia Law School is $48,004. I thought that was outrageous, but a full time student at Texas Wesleyan Law School in Fort Worth is $26,000.
Basically, defense blocks kick, doesn't cover ball, kicking team runs in the ball for a touchdown.
It took a while for me to see it but the holder picks up the ball almost instantaneously after the kick is blocked. But being the Rule Genius that I am, wasn't the holder's knee on the ground when he picked it up? And, this being a high school game, shouldn't he be called down at that point?
Edit: Somebody pointed out that the holder always has his knee down when he places the ball on the ground so there's an exception for him. But does that exception apply after the ball is kicked?
Weather gal Tammy Dombeck wears some bright outfits. And I think she's getting hotter.
Fog is cool.
Sully was a lot cooler when he wasn't hawking his book.
I dreamed I bumped an older lady in a beat up van. She then explained the concepts of lawsuits to me. It went on for at least an hour, and I was saved only by my alarm.
I once had a discussion with a hardline Baptist who disagreed with me when I told her, "If your parents had been devout Catholics, you would be Catholic."
I'm not sure how this works, but I think I heard that the health care "bill" that was voted out of committee hasn't even been written -- it's just a series of concepts that were approved and now it will "be written up by the lawyers." (But I was only half listening to Sean Hannity when I heard this.)
I was watching a 1989 replay of Texas/OU last night and the color man said someone should invent a comfortable device that would somehow prevent ACL injuries. I'm surprised that doesn't exist.
And the replay was fun to watch because I had no idea who won. It was like watching a real Texas/OU game.
Life is incredibly monotonous.
My greatest flaw: I cannot remember faces. At all. It's a serious problem.
There's not enough time to watch and read everything I want. And I watch and read a a lot of things.
Did you see the Dale Hansen/Oprah Winfrey interaction? Awkward.
He's been retired for so long the right wing may not hate him anymore, but Judge William Wayne Justice is dead.
Stephen Wren is an attorney here in Decatur. I guess he can best be described as a good guy, straight arrow, or any other similar term. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a heck of a sense of humor or wry wit. I've known him for years and even tried an incredibly emotional case with him about four years ago.
That being said, I heard that he was having a bout with cancer a couple of months back. Shortly thereafter he began showing up in court with less hair certainly due to that battle. Other than that difference, you would never know he was having a struggle. His spirits were high. His attitude good. His mind on his work.
One thing I don't do is pry. I'm never going to ask an intrusive question because I'm a big fan of the concept of being left alone. But tonight, in his effort to alert others to the dangers of male breast cancer (yes, male breast cancer), he appeared on Fox 4 News. It's a message for all those who would have never have asked "what happened?"

And the fact that his daughter fired off this twitpic last night has nothing to do with it.
