So, where where you when Biggio hit 3000? Yeah, I don’t really care, either except that I’m sure his three hits helped in the Astros win. Yah, the Astros win!
Mary O called me tonight, and has been planning her whole weekend around when Biggio might hit 3K. She didn’t want to miss it. I know she was at Sam’s Pub tonight, and I’m sure it was on tv there. But now she can get back to planning her weekend!

I was heading for a “weekend in Dallas”. We call it that, or “DFW”. But no one up there thinks of it as one city like Houston/Clear Lake/Sugar Land/Katy/Cypress/Conroe/The Woodlands/Waller/Humble/Kingwood/ad infinitum does. It’s two or three cities depending on who you’re talking to: Dallas, Fort Worth, and the “Mid Cities”.

This will be the third consecutive weekend I’ve gone to roller derby events…
Two weeks ago, it started with a nice weekend in Wimberley with friends and board games. Unfortunately, I went a bit under the weather and there wasn’t as much beer drinking as would have been commensurate with the rest of the fun.
Leaving Wimberley Sunday afternoon, TG and I made it leisurely and stopped at the Driftwood Vineyards. It provides a fantastic view, so after our tasting we bought a bottle of B&E Cabernet Sauvingnon (from their sister winery in Paso Robles, California), sat on a picnic bench, and played another board game (to the envy of a passing employee).

Astros sell out season opener in 15 minutes
Well, I don’t know how she did it, but Nunnally got opening day tickets, so I’ll be there.
Just got a random call, so I’m about to head out for disc golf on this beautiful day.

I thought this last year, but I’m glad John Lopez said it yesterday. People need to hear it.
UT’s fun-loving Williams shows it truly isn’t all about the money
By JOHN P. LOPEZ
SAN DIEGO - The voice-mail message was clear and resonant.
“This is Roy Williams . . . I guess you’d answer your cell phone if this was Andre Johnson,” Williams said.
There he goes again. Having fun.
