Ricky Williams . . .

. . . is gone for the 2006 season. What an incredible waste of talent. I'll bet we'll never see him carry the football again.

The Movie: Walk The Line Good?: Yeah, it is Great?: I wouldn't go that far Interesting Tidbit: The movie's suggestion that Elvis was indirectly responsible for Johnny Cash's speed (the drug) addiction Interesting Tidbit #2: That Cash, Elvis, and Jerry Lee Lewis all stayed in the same Tyler motel at the same time during the early part of their careers

If You Are Interested In This Kind of Thing

Denise Richards is divorcing Charlie Sheen. She says Charlie Sheen is a wild man. She also was caught [link fixed] with Richie Sambora. In other news, I sat on my couch and read the paper last night.

RV looks bad. And what is up with the red hair?

Talking Death

I wonder what this does to one's mind. I wonder what I would do. I wonder what regrets I would have: Dallas City Council member James Fantroy confirmed Monday that he is suffering from inoperable cancer in both of his kidneys. Mr. Fantroy, 67, who was first elected to represent southern Dallas' District 8 in 2000, has been on dialysis for five years because of kidney failure. (Source)

A Nice Mixture of Sumptin Sumptin

From another Blog: Fort Worth native and Burleson High grad Kelly Clarkson turns 24 today. Clarkson not only pocketed $1 million and a recording contract for her American Idol victory over four years ago, she set a standard that no other Idol contestant has come close to matching. Clarkson's two albums have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and produced five Top 10 singles in the U.S.

Parade Magazine

I don't know why I always look at the Walter Scott Question and Answer section on the inside cover of this magazine (which is shoved into the sunday paper). The questions that ask for research answers seem silly. I mean, would you write to a magazine for an answer knowing (1) the chances of your question being selected are remote and (2) you'll have to wait at least three months for the answer and (3) there is something called the Internet? For example, this week there was this question from Tad North of Chattanooga, TN: "After the rap group Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar for the song 'It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp', I heard people talking about their 'grilles'. What does that mean?" You can't figure that out on your own? And, Tad, it's grillz, bruther.

Hundreds of Forest Hill residents were evacuated from their homes while emergency personnel secured the well head and recovered Gayan’s body from the site.

My Clubs Are In The Closet Somewhere

Back when I used to golf (very badly), one the joys was seeing the "Cart Girl" coming towards me on the horizon. Little did I know you could rank such girls from across the State. And, dear Wise Countians, the closest one appears to be this one (but you'll have to tip her $251 to break her all time record). Men are pigs. :)
