So, as of yesterday we officially have yet another celebrity who knows how his teeny little shoe tastes.

Well played Devito. Here's to staying up all night with the sexiest man alive then making a sloshed fool of yourself on National TV. Cheers!
I have never wanted to be famous less in my life.


As hard as it is to believe, Sally and I are going o be married two years on Monday. If you count the three years we dated and were engaged which I do, it's been five years.

I'll spare you having to skip over the mushy details and just say this: I love my wife. Life without her would be as my friends south of the border say "El' Sucko". I know it's not really Spanish. Pretty soon we are going to make the jump from throwing our money away every month renting and buy a house. We are going to look at this one today.

I want to pull into this driveway every night.



Last weekend was one game short of the best sports holiday weekends of my life. The Ag's beat Texas, the Cowboys stomped Tampa and the Mav's waylayed the Spurs. The only thing that would have made it sweeter would have been the Stro's crushing the Cardinals is the 1st ever Thanksgiving MLB double header. Although, we did pick up Carlos Lee for a smidge over what he's worth, so I'll go ahead and call it a Hat Trick.


I rediscovered Ben Taylor this morning. he has a new album out and is touring the world. Hopefully he will pick up his dad's slack and actually make his way to Houston. Check it out.

Robert Altman died yesterday. 1925-2006.
If you don’t know who Robert Altman is, you have missed out on some amazing movies. Altman made a ridiculous amount of movies and much less importantly, a few of my favorites.

I heard an NPR interview with Elliott Gouldlast night. He was asked bout his experiences and friendship with Altman. He said that actors would stand in line to have a bit part in Altman's movies, because the way he directed forced them to be a better actor. What a legacy. How incredible would it be to have that on your tombstone? “People longed to be around _______ because they forced them to be a better person”.

Almost started to go deep there. It was gonna be my NBC

"The more you know" moment.





Have you seen “The more you know’s” from the Office? Brilliant.

Have a great long weekend. Eat a lot of turkey. Tell your parents how much you love them. Sleep a lot.

I'm moving my blog from the Myspace. I figured if I had a specific blog, I might do so more often. We'll see.

I dig the Holidays. I jump into the Holiday cheer. I exude Yule. That sounds kinda gross. Alas, i like this time of year all the same. This calls for my top ten best things about the holidays. (in no particular order). Due to my love for this time of year the Velveeta might spring up withing me.


1. The Christmas and Thanksgiving Charlie Brown Specials. "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" ranks up there too

2. Pumpkin Spice Late' and Egg Nogg Late' from Starbucks

3. The obligatory special holiday episodes of my favorite shows

4. Neighborhoods full of kiddo's out of school

5. Holiday Movies. Not the Hallmark or Lifetime original filth, but Movies marketed for the Christmas season. i.e. Last years The Family Stone

6. Driving around the neighborhood looking at Christmas Lights

7. Candle Light Christmas Eve service


8. Getting to wear my much hipper cold weather wardrobe







9. Bowl Season

10. The inevitable hokey Christmas cards my married friends send out with pictures of their wuss dogs with sweaters on.





Wanna see humanity at it's worst? On Friday, grab a Starbucks and a snack, take your favorite lawn chair and set up camp inside your local Wal*Mart or Target. Disgusting.













Humanity at it's finest? Make a trip down to the Star of Hope Mission downtown on Thursday and watch families serve together with the feeding program. If that doesn't warm your heart your a cyborg.
