From Video Football Leads to Attack

Watch the video. Sheriff Joe Bob is pretty funny….

34 year old James Rodney Wilson was playing a round of PlayStation football with his brother in law, 34 year old Lance Borchert, when the two got in an argument. They were simulating an Auburn versus Tennessee game when things got heated. According to police, Borchert went to bed and Wilson went after him with a knife. Borchert was stabbed in the back and Wilson ran into the woods. He was caught a short time later. He’s charged with attempted murder.

Sheriff Blakely says it was apparent that alcohol was involved.

Divine justice can be a bear…

So my bride and two little ones are headed to Tejas next week for a Sat to Sat visit. I’m not going because I have a bunch going on plus I have to be in Nashville Mon and Tues
and Chicago Tues and Wed.

So I find out tonight that Virginia and her mom have cooked up something interesting.

Virginia was a Zeta at A&M. Her mother was a Zeta back in the day at tu.
Zeta is doing some sort of fund raising event for Halloween.

So Virginia is going to dress my 4 year old son Charlie up in an A&M football uniform
and take him trick or treating next Wednesday.

Door to Door….

INSIDE THE UT ZETA HOUSE ….

Bad time for me to decide not to come to Texas with them.

But one helluva story for Charile to use if he goes to A&M in 15 years. Door to door in a u. of texas sorority house at age 4.

Little man is cute enough to pull this off too…

Too bad Kinky doesn’t have any opinions….

Wins the World Golf Championship after winning the PGA, which makes it 4 in a row and 6 this year out of 13 played. 10 years on tour, 12 majors, second all time. 52 tournament wins, tied for 5th ALL TIME. After only 10 years. Holds the scoring record for all 4 majors. And he’s WON 26% of the PGA tournaments he’s started. That’s insane.

The crazy Canadian pulled it off

The kid with who started with one red paperclip has managed to barter his way thru a bunch of trades all the way up to a FREE HOUSE. The greatness of the internet.

Barry’s off to Austin

Travelling all day Friday the 21st, doing some personal stuff all weekend, then meeting with a client/vendor on a long term project on Monday, then travelling back on Tuesday. Its wonderful living far away from the urban masses, but they don’t put airports out here so travelling is time consuming.

Man crush….
