Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts
- Pete Delkus is talking about the possibility of snow for Christmas. (I bet he wakes up every morning and sits on the side of the bed, head in hands, and thinks, "My job is so irrelevant.")
- Paradise model with lots of hair products.
- Kinda Sports: (1) I love the new college football playoff format. I was standing in front of the TV at 6:30 last night much to the confusion of Everyone Else In The House. (2) Not impossible: Both Baylor and TCU ending up in the Final Four. Delicious. (3) Made Mrs. LL watch "A Football Life" about Earl Campbell last night. He looked 75 when he was 50. (4) I actually met Earl once and talked him into recreating his "Skoal, brother" commercial as he walked away.
- I think I'm sick this morning. It always takes me about 30 minutes to realize it. Weird.
- I can't tell you how many people write me or stop me on the street to tell me how much they love the old Index posts. Note: I knew about their existence but I didn't delve into them until old high school friend Marilynn Andreasen started posting single pages on Facebook with a caption.
- "And this idiot was fool enough to come to Parker County, Texas, and try to pull this nonsense? He got a ride to the jail. And I got his uniform." - A (shaking) Sheriff Robert Fowler on the "capture" of a guy posing as a wounded Navy Seal.
- I'm getting old: When I have a day off, I prefer to just sit around with dogs in my lap. (On the National Geographic channel last month, I learned dogs "hug you" with their eyes.)
- Watching Jeopardy yesterday with the Sixth Grader in the House after seeing a category of "Movies From A Decade Ago". Me: "Oh, that'll be easy." Her: "Uh, I was two years old."
- Maybe the biggest moron in the Texas Legislature: Jonathan Strickland. (And keep away from the cheeseburgers, buddy.)
- A "bulldog" lawyer is someone who is compensating for not being very smart.
- Craziest thing about Mrs. LL and The Kids: They don't care about celebrating their birthday on their birthday. The slightest acknowledgement is all they require so long as there's a dinner/party within the next month.
- Governor Elect Greg Abbott appointed a Secretary of State yesterday. I would have been more impressed if the anti-big government Abbott had abolished the silly Secretary of State office.
