Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

• Pet Peeve: Lots of weather forecasts on the radio this morning would casually say that "the high today will be 60". Uh, yeah. Last night at midnight.
• Recession? What recession? Jarhead has imported a nanny.
• I once knew a guy in Fort Worth that ran off with his nanny, leaving behind a smoking hot wife. I'm not sure what happened to her. Or him.
• UT quarterback Colt McCoy is coming back for his senior season. Ugh. They'll be really good next year.
• Joe Duty takes pictures of the Toy Run on Sunday in Wise County.
• A fighter pilot lost control of his jet heading back to Miramar yesterday, ejects, and lets the jet crash into a neighborhood killing three people. Maverick would not have let that happen.
• I paid $1.48 for gas yesterday. It's like someone is playing a joke on us.
• I've started eating low fat hamburger patties (96/4) without the bun.
• I'd take Danny White over Tony Romo.
• My pee wee football coach may have been the best coach I ever had. I still remember how to block and defend a block because of him. But I'm pretty sure there's no practical application for it in my daily life.
• I would completely change the way funerals are conducted in this country if I could.
• I wonder what the attendance at my funeral would be. Man, that would be disappointing if it were a low turn out.
• I had that dang can't-find-my-class school dream the other night. But I've also noticed I'm incorporating football practice into it. It's always the same scenario: Team is already on the practice field and I'm in the dressing room desperately trying to find all my equipment.
• The new Rock of Love contestants here. I think I'd choose Beverly.
• With the exception of one, I've never had any ex-girlfriend from my 20s try and contact me. Obviously, the have emotional issues.
• The median income for you average God-fearing Texas household: $46,248. Median income for those uppity Southlake households: $172,945 (and I suspect that's with a lot of stay-at-home moms.)
• I wonder how many dollar stores are in Southlake? I've got a pretty good idea.
• A Wonderful Life is not played every night like everyone claims? NBC only shows it twice a year.
• A bunch of Blackwater guards were indicted yesterday for what appears to be a slaughter in Iraq. Who would have thought it? A bunch of private security guards roaming around Iraq, armed like nobody's business, and being name "Blackwater." (I've seen a couple of books on those hooligans and now I'm even more motivated to by one.)
• I remember as a kid going to the metroplex for dinner with the parents. I'd sit in the back, in the darkness, no iPod, no DVD player, no nothing. Drove me crazy.
• Restaurant flashback: Vance Godbey's.
