    Not really trivial, but this is as good a place to drop it as any:   My son has a SATB2 gene mutation which has left him with a severe speech delay.  He didn't say "Mama" until he was 7 (he'

Even though Alabama has multiple championships and awards they have never beaten Rice. 0-3 against the Owls.

The crispy batter around the stick at the end of a corn dog.

Driving home from LA through skidrow and very industrial parts of town, then finding a brand spanking NEW Popeyes along the way, AND they have chicken sandwiches available. Now I take that way home every time I come home from LA.

Not sure if trivial, but when you get on the ferry to Port A something just changes and you know is time to chill.

Son got coined by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff today.

Very cool.

That sounds not trivial. But, I also don’t exactly know what it means.

He and his team have been doing a bunch of work around the Afghan refugees that have been sheltering there. General Milley was on site and recognized their effort. Coining is a traditional pat on the back, that also parlays into bar fun- if you challenge your peer for their coin and they don’t have it, they pay for that round. If they do have it, you’re on the hook.

The coolest thing for my son was that he got to meet the highest ranking military person in our armed forces.  From a dad’s perspective, it has also been very gratifying to hear him say that this experience dealing with the refugees has made him feel like he finally got to do what he joined the military for.

West Texas dung beetles. They look like they are so happy to be rolling shitballs around.

 

We’ve got them on our place.  They put in the work.

Dicky Moegle just passed away in July of this year.  He'll always be associated with these 2 teams and the Cotton Bowl in my book.

I bring a trail mix bar with my lunch every day. Not too many calories and it tastes fine. But today? Every damn bite was perfection. Just the right amount of sweet and tart. I'm already pissed that tomorrow's will not be the same.

9 and 6 YO kids coming to snuggle with us in the morning.

Enjoy it, savor it. We do a good job celebrating our kids’ “firsts” (first steps, first day of school, etc.).  

 

But we don’t remember the lasts. They pass us by and we never even knew it. The last time we danced with our little girl. The last time you comforted your little boy after he fell. The last time you played catch. The last time you and your wife snuggled with them.
 

One of these times it will be the last—they’ll grow up too much, too big, too mature. And you won’t notice the last time.
 

My kids are grown now.  Out of the house, doing their thing.  They’re awesome people, and I love knowing them as independent adults, seeing them demonstrate proficiency in their areas, beyond anything I can do.  But I miss my little boy.  I miss my little girls.

So savor the times you do have, savor the snuggling, the smell, the feel, the complete satisfaction in having your sweet family together, resting in each others’ arms. It is a sweet time, a sweet feeling, that will sweep by, never to be repeated.

Since my son (now 8 ) was born, he used to sit next to me during UT games in my recliner. Last week, when they scored the first time I realized daughter (now 2) was in "his" spot. And he was one the couch. It was a small thing, but it stuck with me.

How much did that cost?  Wait...  what? 

Shit that actually works as good as advertised. I've tried prescriptions, supplements, witch doctors, you name it.

Nothing works as good or as fast as this. Miracle in a bottle.

I dealt with calf cramping, and occasional foot cramping, for a long time. A few years ago I started using this stuff when my son was playing football and used to chug pedialyte the night before games. I found this stuff instead. A few drops in every glass/bottle of water I drink and poof, no calf or foot cramps ever.

It helps, but nothing can fix stupid drinking. 

Wait, what’s stupid about drinking?

Getting up from the desk and stepping out onto the front porch to stretch my legs just as the mailman pulls up, hops out and comes up the sidewalk with a delivery that was earlier than anticipated.

Should be the first offensive play of the game, defense would never expect it.

Add to this WR screens where the ball is thrown in front of the receiver, giving him momentum as he catches it versus throwing it right at him where he catches it flat-footed.

Good luck with the diebeetus. 

Maybe not trivial, but, good people. Left hula hut and put my phone on the roof of the car while putting little man in and of course I left it there and drove off. Realize about halfway home i forgot it.  Got home, got my iPad for the find your iPhone app. Chased the little dot all around west lake, through zilker then down Congress to South Austin all the while thinking “why hasn’t this guy stopped, why am I going all over the place, certainly this person knows phones are track-able”. Finally, we stop at a house and I have no idea what to expect. But, a really nice cyclist walks up to the car asking if the phone was mine.  They could have easily grabbed the cash (it’s a wallet/phone), kept the wallet and tossed the phone. People don’t always suck.

We don’t want to hear about your sex life. 

As stupid as daylight savings is if you dont live in Maine, the fact that I get an extra hour of sleep tomorrow pleases me greatly.

Fall back should be on a Monday not a Sunday.

 

Was rocking the youngling daughter to sleep and heard Jack White “We’re gonna be friends”.   I liked that song, now I’ve listened to it 77 times in a row     I’m not mad about it.   I’m trying to not cry.   Damn 
They played that song at my daughter's middle school graduation along with an excellent photo montage of the kids at school. There was a burly biker dude sitting next to me and I'm not sure which one of us was crying more.

Found a dude's wallet awhile back on the ground at a gas station. It was a broke college kid so he didn't have any cash but had a debit card and his student ID in there. I found him on Instagram and told him I had his wallet. He was so excited I had found it and offered to pay me. I thought that was silly. Doesn't take much effort to do something like that - or what that cyclist did. But I guess stuff like that doesn't always happen enough. 

First week at college my son texted me and said he lost his wallet.  I told him to go to the campus police station and check and see if anyone turned it in.  He laughed at me, but did it any way.  One of the cleaning people had turned it in with nothing missing.  There are still good people in this country, they just don't seem to run for office, or even vote.

Was down in the DFW area few years ago and dumbass me left my wallet on the gas pump and drove off, guy right after me found it and followed me back to our hotel to return it, wouldn’t accept a reward.

Imma put this hear because there were no injuries.  I'm driving on the I-10 service road in spring branch.  You may have heard we have bad drivers in Houston sometimes.  This dipshit going about sixty cuts across two lanes to get in front of two cars (including me) about to merge onto 10.  He does not see that there is a curb protecting the merge lane.  He hits that bad boy at full speed, sparks fly, he loses control, side swipes a retaining wall, hit some more shit and limps to a crawl on the entrance ramp.  His shit is all fucked up and he takes the exit.  It's little joys like this that make life worth living.
