Random Friday Morning Thoughts




  • The Alabama governor is involved in a sex scandal and an NBA player records a teammate talking about cheating on his fiancee and it gets released. In this day and time, you will be busted.
  • I'm just glad I'm too old to even think about it and just want to go home at the end of the day. 
  • Kudos to the DA employees for having the paperwork ready yesterday even before I got there. 
  • I went back and listened to the Supreme Court announcing it's decision in Lawrence v. Texas. I've listened to oral arguments and read opinions but I had never listen to them "announce" a decision. It's fascinating. And Scalia sounded like a crazy man but he did make a prediction: The decision will lead to the legalization of same sex marriage.
  • I'm trying to get caught up on the mini-series The People vs. O.J. Simpson. Man, it is good.
  • The missing mother who was found dead days later in her car in a Target parking lot in Frisco with her three young children inside may be the weirdest story I've ever heard of. 
  • There is a play in Denton of Glengarry Glen Ross. I loved that movie and Alec Baldwin was fantastic. And the actors in it in addition to him are legendary: Kevin Spacey, Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, and Ed Harris. Always Be Closing.
  • One of the funniest shows no one remembers: Space Ghost Coast to Coast
  • Wordkyle: Unemployment has risen to 5%!!! 
  • Hanson Aggregates is having an open house for their quarry between Bridgeport and Chico. You know, I'm interested. If you ever flown over it or looked at it on satellite view, the whole concept is fascinating.
