  1. I have no idea how tall our mailman was, but I’m 6 foot and both my dad and brother are 5’7”, 5’8” with the afros.
  2. This. I just sat there wondering how we got from this little boy to the man whose death people were rejoicing.
  3. RIP “you Big Dummy.”
  4. In the early 30s, my grandparents were driving back to Van, Texas after eloping to Louisiana when they picked up a hitchhiker along the road. The next day, the police showed up at their door. It turned out they had picked up one of the Barrow Gang after a robbery in East Texas, when the gang scattered in different directions to defeat roadblocks.
  5. Even though it’s engineered stress on steroids, I love it. Every episode feels like controlled demolition, with alarms blaring, triage on the fly, and the certainty that something is about to hit the fan, because that’s how systems under pressure misbehave. I found myself watching M*A*S*H the other day and thinking it had all the raw material to do what The Pitt is doing now. I wish it had leaned more into drama (more than just Alan Alda on a soapbox) and spent more time with triage, the operating room, and post-op as narrative engines, not merely breaks between hijinks. But that version probably wouldn’t have survived the ’70s, with Vietnam on the evening news every night.
  6. What if you're liberal and already armed to the teeth?
  7. Low back / either side of spine / just above the belt line, radiating to top of glutes.
  8. Localized dull throb. Tightness. It's not a sharp pain, but it's cumbersome to stand for long periods. Instantly goes away when I sit.
  9. Had a discectomy in September and was cleared to ride the Peloton right after Christmas. That has since triggered an issue in a deep lower back muscle, right along my beltline. It's well south of the procedure. My guess is I need to work on my core as much as I need the cardio.
  10. We were already "fostering" a couple of rescues and these sisters just backed into a sweetheart setup. I was always loyal to our older cat and had nicknamed these two "the moron twins." I'll have to get used to them after an appropriate period of mourning.
  11. Had to say "goodbye" to our OG a couple of days before Christmas. "Storm" was all cat. He tolerated everything and everybody, as long as there was something in his food bowl and no one was curled up in his bed beneath the air vent.
  12. I saw this right after it happened at looked up the location. A few years ago I was with our troop at Camp Ben Delatour Scout Ranch, which is roughly 25 miles from Glenhaven as the crow flies. During that week, Scouts on an overnight wilderness survival trek into the Roosevelt National Forest stumbled onto a freshly killed, half-eaten bull calf—easily a couple hundred pounds—that had been dragged up and cached high in a large tree. That discovery sent camp leadership into a full-blown scramble. Adult staff were told to carry sidearms, and Scouts couldn’t move around camp in groups of fewer than five. What really stuck with me when they told us about finding the calf is that the day before it was found, our Troop had hiked out of camp on a trail going the other direction and we passed a tree with deep claw marks running up and down the trunk, beginning high enough so that it was hard to imagine what or how big the animal was that left them. Our scoutmaster loved daily hikes during summer and winter camps. Three to five miles, often before breakfast. Anything to keep the guys from just sitting around camp. After they found that calf, we were done hiking. That was our last one that summer.
  13. I just filed suit to get my extra year of eligibility.
  14. Close the window when you guys come in from the ledge
  15. I was still at ABC-13/ESPN and had just started at South Texas when the whole Shaune B. fiasco began unfolding. Jeff must’ve felt comfortable talking about it with Tim Melton at the time -- maybe because Tim had been through something similar with Nancy Lopez and Ray Knight. Tim is such a nice guy, he probably reached out to Jeff first. Who knows. But to Tim’s credit, I don’t recall him ever repeating anything, even with all the rumors flying around.
