So last night was TWU night at the Rangers. I was somewhat overwhelmed by the fact that, even though we sold out of our group tickets, we were a drop in the bucket of the 23,000+ people at the game. Our “swarm” of maroon was barely visible. Oh well. At least they didn’t advertise our …
Tuesday morning trivia
I missed Monday morning trivia yesterday, but am happy to bring you this week’s random question on a 24-hour delay. 🙂 You know from last week that I play (or rather, used to play) the piano. That’s only one of the instruments in my musical history, though. Which of the following musical instruments have I …
Niosa!
Last Friday was our trip to San Antonio for Niosa, the thing where thousands of people crowd into a small area to drink and eat to excess. Are you sitting down? I had fun. I’ve always said I can deal with crowds if I have enough advanced notice, and apparently the eight months since I …
the first sport I loved…
Growing up, my cousin Tracy and I loved everything about baseball. We watched the Braves on TBS and collected Topps baseball cards for years. She lusted after Mark Grace, while I preferred the likes of Dale Murphy. Tracy had a natural aptitude for softball that only grew over time; I, on the other hand, ran …
apparently, I’m no Dallasite
The May issue of D Magazine lists “52 Things Every Dallasite Must Do.” UPDATE: They’ve just posted the full list online, but I’ll give you the abbreviated rundown here. Sadly, though, I can only say I’ve done — geez — FOUR of the 52. That’s appalling. Here I was thinking I was doing a pretty …
week 3 update (WW)
Last night (a day earlier than usual), I headed over to Weight Watchers to get in my weekly weigh-in and meeting. That’s because I’ve got an awards thingy at TWU tonight I have to go to — more on that later tonight. Anyway, week 3 wasn’t as good, but it was still a net loss: …
I don’t ask much…
Thanks to the two people — Nicole and Melissa — who played Monday Morning Trivia this week. To review, the question had to do with the Phantom of the Opera song that, above all others, never fails to make me cry. The correct answer was (A) All I Ask of You. Melissa continues her brilliant …
fingers crossed.
I hope this means at least one or two people on the Hill have decided to use their brains. Vote on Bolton nomination for U.N. envoy is postponed WASHINGTON – Senators agreed to an unexpected delay Tuesday in voting on John Bolton’s nomination as ambassador to the United Nations and said they intend to take …
Niosa!
Friday, Daniel and I are heading to San Antonio for Niosa, which — until I met him — I’d never even heard of before. As it’s been described to me, Friday night will essentially focus on two things: drinking and eating. (Thus, it’s critical we do our weekly WW weigh-in BEFORE we head to San …
bad day?
It’s really nice, when you’re having a frustrating day, to have people around you who aren’t. Today’s not been a bad day for me; actually, I met someone at work today who I had a great time talking to while doing some one-on-one training. Given that I love meeting cool people (and have always felt …
