Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

• Verdict on the Eagle Mountain Park: Not bad considering we walked it in the middle of winter. Well maintained. Great views. Very relaxing. (It's on Boat Club Road and easily accessible to Wise County.)
• We took The Family Pup who, out of no where, decided to run into the lake. It was insane. She just sprinted towards the water and didn't stop -- and then just sat there and looked back at us with this "I'm stuck in the mud" kind of look. . I still don't know what the heck that was about.
• Edit: There is a sign that says "No Dogs." We're rebels. 
• When we saw a bunch of beer cans on the shore, we started picking them up. For a moment, we were environmentalist hippies from the Sixties. Felt pretty good. 
• We walked along the shore for a bit and came across a fisherman in a bass boat listening to Christian (loud) radio. I kind of wanted to know his story. 
• Bode Miller, the wheels off skier turned family man, is married to a "Hey Now." 
• And that interview of Miller the other day was ridiculous. One question too much. 
• The Fifth Grader in The House likes watching Jeopardy. But both Kids laugh at the expressions of the OU student who has been on the show for the last few days. 
• I think my Favorite Candidate Who Is A Nut, based upon his ads, is Dan Patrick. He's like a Nazi who says everything other than, "I'm a Nazi, and I want your vote."
• Mrs. LL and I watched This is 40 again. That's really, really funny.
• I'm not sure I've intentionally watched Letterman, Conan, Kimel, or Leno  over the last 10 years.
• "Ted Nugent, Greg Abbott's New Campaign Pal, Has a Thing for Underage Girls" -- Not sure there's any breaking news there, but I just like seeing those two names and "Underaged Girls" in the same headline. 
• Mark Cuban bought a tract of land at Northwest Highway and Preston Road in 1988. Someone needs to check into his rags to riches story.
• I put Mrs. LL in charge of moderating the comments yesterday. There's no telling what she let through. 
• I didn't know Decatur High School had an "open campus" for lunch. That's crazy, isn't it? 
• For Baylor Fans: What an insane weekend as two games were sent to overtime. One with Baylor scoring on their fourth shot in one possession, and last night where Baylor turned the ball over throwing the ball in with under three seconds left. 
• The Family Unit played Name The Presidents last night. I've got some late 1800s history to brush up on. (And I apologize to the dead presidents by calling the "spare" simply because I didn't remember them.)
• Edit: I just went back and read the comments about becoming a foster home. Chilling. Thank you.
