Redeemed

As I jogged outside tonight, it occurred to me that it was almost three years to the day that I complete tore my Achilles tendon. (I was playing basketball with my fifth ex-wife who had made the outrageous claim that she still was her high school's all time leading basketball scorer - a claim that made more sense once I realized she was about 20 years old). Anyway, two days later I went under the knife for the first time in my life. Three Two months later I was back on the treadmill. And now I don't have any remnants of the injury. Shout out to Dr. John Riberio of Decatur for some fine work.

Computer Tired Head

I'm a self confessed nerd. I know databases. I design databases. I know what a relational table is and can write SQL queries. (Ok, I've proved my point.) So I wasn't scared to buy the above product for $40 which, in theory, would allow me to transfer my Access database tables at work to my handheld device and work with the data on the go. (Always nice to know who is in the hoosegow at the drop of a hat.) Over the last 24 hours I've spent the majority of time jacking with it, and only in the last hour got the dang to work. I can't imagine the number of people that threw up their hands trying to work with the thing.

And Those Eyebrows!

This is a composite computerized sketch of a lady who is suspected of snatching a newborn from her mother's arms in Missouri (a story that sounds very suspicious.) Be on the lookout for a girl with a mullet and a mustache

I Never Watch MTV's Laguna Beach . . .

. . . but apparantly this girl, Kristin Cavallari, is on it. This pic made the rounds this weekend because it was found on her My (The Devil Must Be Behind The) Space page.

People Starving In The Streets . . .

. . . and all that money on Grandma's campaign ads (which I see all the time) is going to waste.

Tuesday Morning Just Got Better

Nicole Richie Will Never Be Hungry Again

That "Burning Man" Stuff Makes Me Feel Normal

And I had to sort through a bunch of neekid hippie pics just to find that one.

Wise County Courthouse on "Prison Break" Tonight

Story from the Star Telegram's website.

Uggh.

It's impossible to upload photos today for some reason. I'll try later.

You Would Not Believe The Amount of Spam I Get

Even with a set of complicated filters, I bet I get 200 junk emails a day. Maybe more.

Slow Posting Day

Hectic day: Sitting #2 on the trial docket in the County Court this morning only to be released to run to Jacksboro to do a plea on a third degree felony. I thought about running by Runaway Bay to see the burned down condos but didn't.

Front Page of Morning News

Vanished

I also noted that the Messenger's Joe Duty had a photo published on the front page (!) of the Sunday Dallas Morning News as a "special contributor." I tried to find it on the News' website but Joe, sadly, doesn't exist.

Noteworthy

Uh Oh

Terrell Owens has broken a finger. His right ring finger to be exact. A very expensive finger.

Midnight Express

Yet another movie I rented based upon the fact it's supposed to be a classic. The Plot: Based upon a true story, a guy gets thrown into a Turkish prison for trying to smuggle hashish out of the country. Notable: Directed by Oliver Stone and the co-star is a very lean and very young Randy Quaid. Why the name?: The only way to get out of prison is the Midnight Express - a name for "escape" - but as one of the characters says, "It doesn't run through here." Lead actor trivia: A guy named Brad Davis was the star and did a great job. A little research revealed that he took his own life in the 1990s by assisted suicide after contracting AIDS. Overall rating: Outstanding.
