- I ended up at a "trampoline park" last night for a birthday party, and it was fantastic. I didn't anticipate doing a front flip into a pile of sponges, but I did.
- And then somehow I ended up in a dodgeball game played on trampolines. It was bizarrely fun with high school kids firing off foam balls at me at million miles an hour. Of course, my enthusiasm was diffused a bit when this kid beside turned to me and said, "Don't have a heart attack." Wise guy.
- If this picture is real from yesterday, Los Angeles traffic makes the metroplex look like NASCAR.
- It has been twenty years since the Leon Lett/Ice Field fumble.Twenty years! And it was fifteen years ago today that Ricky Williams broke the NCAA rushing record against the Aggies.
- You'll do a doubletake at the cover of the New York Times this morning.
- Alec Baldwin utters a homophobic slur and his show gets cancelled? Everyone sure is on a short leash these days.
- We had the service tech out to fix the DVR/TV connection which required a complete reset. All shows had to be deleted. All "season passes" had to be cancelled. First world problems.
- UNT beat Incarnate Word in basketball yesterday. I had heard of that school before but Incarnate Word is an odd name. "Incarnate", by the way, means a deity or spirit embodied in flesh (I had to look it up.)
- Finally!: The Star-Telegram, or more specifically Bud Kennedy, writes about the Judge Jerry Ray tirade. "Presiding juror Judy Kingman of Fort Worth, an elementary school speech therapist, said: 'It was horrible. He was horrible. I mean, we were absolutely chastised like children. Like we were total idiots.'"
- The new Hunger Games made $158,074,286 over the weekend. I think I heard that was the fourth best opening ever, but I'm not sure.
- Sarah Silverman looking like a "Hey, Now."
- For the first time last night, I let the Sophomore in the House drive my car with me in the passenger seat. (She has her learner's permit.) It was pretty white knuckled but she did really well. My only advice was "There are a lot of idiots on the road, so keep you head on a swivel."
- From the Update: "Wise Regional Health System will suspend inpatient services at its Bridgeport campus effective Dec. 1 . . . ." That's huge news, right?
- And also a 14 year old from Chico has died. What happened?
- Mark Davis told his audience this morning not to scoreboard fans of the President over Thanksgiving and to be respectful because "they've had a really hard month." I'm speechless.
