Tell me about New York City
Wrapping up a few days here. Death Becomes Her was so, so good. Highly recommend. As for notable meals, we did pre-show dinner at Frena (middle eastern, pretty good but expensive, and I've had better), Sunday brunch at Balthazar, dinner at Polo Bar (a few tables over from Roger Goodell), pizza at San Matteo on 2nd Ave (I think @PenelopeWitherspoon rec'd that up thread, so thanks!) with the best gelato after at Anita. We stayed on UES, and hung around near the St. Patrick's Day parade finish line on Monday. I've never seen so many large men in kilts putting down Guinness on the street, so that was good people watching.

I assume you're online only so you can serve as many children of Texas citizens possible with fewer actual teachers. I mean, that's what all the new for-profit schools will look like, right?

Road Trip: Austin to Colorado (red rocks area) on a budget-- tips?
Private lesson for all three of you also means getting to cut the lift lines. Don’t underestimate how much of your day is spent waiting in lines on crowded ski days.

The Blake Lively (Ryan Reynolds's wife) Controversy
👆 Beat me to it. This is as frivolous as it gets. If I'm the lawyer who is the subject of that letter, I'm laughing my ass off, framing it, and licking my chops.

The Blake Lively (Ryan Reynolds's wife) Controversy
Well, Blake Lively has informed the court that she doesn't want Baldoni's lawyer deposing her: https://people.com/blake-lively-doesnt-want-justin-baldoni-attorney-bryan-freedman-to-take-her-deposition-8783933 I mentioned up thread that I am amazed at the shitty lawyering and lack of client control on her side. Add this to the pile. And there is no fucking way this settles before things get worse.

Pebble Beach/Monterey Things to Do
For the last few years, we have spent most of July in Carmel, which is probably (definitely) not as budget-friendly as Monterey or PG, and we also plan to relocate to the area at some point. We're still exploring the area from that perspective, but I agree with the take above that Pebble Beach seems to have a better price range than I expected. Carmel is the most dog-friendly place we've ever been, and we walk our dog down on the beach daily. I absolutely love it there.

The Blake Lively (Ryan Reynolds's wife) Controversy
Rundown of his claims against her here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14295303/shock-new-claims-Justin-Baldoni-Blake-Lively-lawsuit-Taylor-Swift.html The funniest one is that she rewrote a scene and used Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift to intimidate him into approving her changes. She referred to herself as Khaleesi and RR and TS as her "dragons." I'm amused by the shitty legal advice and/or lack of client control. She's an A-lister (courtesy of her husband and friends), and no one has heard of this dude until this shit show of a movie. All she had to do was lay low for six months and then 99% of people would move on to something else and forget about this mess. But oh no... She had to take it to a whole other level, sue the guy, give the story more life than it deserves, and now Justin is famous. WTF? And you bought yourself and husband a counter suit that includes claims consistent with rumors (that haven't seemed to hurt you -- yet) about what assholes you are in real life. This is mutual assured destruction, and I'm entertained. And I cannot imagine how excited their lawyers are to bill the fuck out these people. Bravo.

No. He appeared to be whining that the center moved the ball to cause the off sides. Replay shows ND was set and still. UGA players clearly jumped off sides.- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN

I cannot imagine CDC and Hartzell not running total interference. His former players and some olds will want to have him around, but I'd bet the major player BMDs are not interested.- ESPN GAME DAY
Cignetti is cracking me up. He does not give a fuck.- Texas 2025 SEC schedule
This is very good advice, particularly if you can fly direct into Greenville. ATL traffic and airport are a huge time suck and can easily add another hour to your trip. Athens hotels will be hard to get, and they're probably booked already. When we've visited my kid there, I've had success calling the hotel directly and getting a room when it shows sold out online.- Tell me about New York City
Death Becomes Her is on our list simply because of Megan Hilty. Anyone have thoughts on The Dominick Hotel?- Coach Sark Press Conference 12.2 - 11:30am (LHN)

Stayed at the Marriott Grosvenor Square a few years ago. The club level room was worth it for us for the breakfast and evening snacks. We liked the location: Bond St. Station and Selfridges are a few blocks away. Going the other direction is Mount St. with some very nice window shopping. Felt like an easy walk to Marylebone, Green Park/Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, etc.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
My memory of the 1995 postgame includes Mike Adams holding the Longhorn flag and standing between the corps assholes and our fans on the field.- The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
