Where Are They Now
The Messenger was in love with Northwest ISD softball pitcher Brittany Barnhill last year who struck out a record 12,209,976 batters (or something like that) in her career.
She now pitches for The Evil Empire and has a record of 3-5 but might be figuring it out.
Two NCAA Tourney Pics
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick checks out the action. I'm offended.
And just a fun pic:

Calling All Book Reviewers
Mark Cuban says The Fountainhead was the most important book he's ever read. As I was reading/listening to my Supreme Court book today, I learned that Justice Clarence Thomas says the same thing.
So I checked it out on audible.com (via I-Tunes) and found out that the thing is 32 hours long. Most audio books run 6 to 10 hours, max.
Anybody know about The Fountainhead? Is it worth the read/listen?
My Annual Easter Lunch At The Gaylord Texas
Good times. (And there are five huge tables - as seen in the bottom photo - in that room.)
A Faithful Reader Sends This Along
Subject: Benefit for Jackie Murphree
Hi Barry, you can use these if you want to . . . . Just thought that we should share this. In only a matter of a few hours over $20,000 had been raised and they were still counting!! It would'nt surprise me if it goes to $30,000 or more. I know of one trucker that came in all the way from Dalhart, many of them were 300 to "500 miles away from home". Makes a person proud to be from Wise County!! Thanks!!
Photos here.
Edit: Updates about her condition here.

Photo Browsing
I was just thumbing (mousing) through my old photos that I've taken over the years and came across this one from the Texas Tech v. Alabama Cotton Bowl a couple of years ago. This guy was a nut. In a sea of Alabama fans, this very random Tennessee supporter decides to wear a T-Shirt that might as well have said, "I Want To Start A Riot."
And the girl with the Bear Bryant hat to the left was a nice touch.
It Truly Is A Chocolate City!

Get 'Em While They're Hot
They play Memphis who has lost, uh, let me count 'em up . . . er. . . that would be one game all year. That road to the Final Four will probably end somewhere near Collins and Division.

Power Point
Hey, I'm just the messenger (not the Messenger, just a messenger), but I received word that this presentation will be played tonight at the meeting of the Wise County Active Democrats.
The hypothetical Republican response would be, "Don't Be Hatin'!"
Doesn't That St. Patrick's Day Party . . .
. . . on Lower Greenville look fun? Uh, not so much.
Many more, in the worst photo format ever, here.
MyPhone
I bought an IPhone. I had been tempted. I put the temptation behind me. And then I yielded to the forbidden Apple.
Review after 24 hours of use: This is the greatest invention I've ever seen. The screen is crystal clear. It's intuitive. It's lightening fast. And it's freakin' cool.
I've spent a couple of years jacking with Windows Mobile 5 on my cellphone and there is simply no comparison to the IPhone. I've used every application on it, and it has yet to become sluggish or lock up. It does what it says it will.
The only hitch came with the activation that I had to do myself over the Internet. Everything went fine until ITunes told me to wait for an email. I got it with a message to call an 800 number. I did and talked to a very nice Apple Guy who, after a couple of minutes of verifying I hadn't stolen the phone, told me my "SIM card had become disconnected" and that I needed to take it to the nearest AT&T store for a replacement. Sheesh. But I hightailed it down to Joe Neil Henderson's place and found a kid who was more than happy to help. I was up and running in 15 minutes.
