  • 2010 10 02 - Had a nightmare where everything I said came out wrong. Good was bad. Up was down. Now I'm scared it was no nightmare but just life as usual
  • 2010 10 02 - You Can Count On Me (2000): Single mom, sheltered son, drifter brother, stifling small town. Imperfect family with a big heart. See it.

  • 2010 10 08 - Headline: "Republican leader says American dream under siege." The truism about arsonists returning to the scene of the crime occurs to me.

  • 2010 10 20 - The best news I've heard in a long, long time that the DMN's newsroom can remain relevant. http://goo.gl/1Zaj
  • 2010 10 20 - @imccann_dmn, thanks for info about Frisco and Coppell. So, it *can* be done on those city's budgets. It can be done in Richardson.

  • 2010 10 26 - US Marine Band played Hindemith's Metamorphosis. I remember Berkner's Mighty Ram Band playing the "March" from that in 2004. Great memories.
  • 2010 10 26 - I keep seeing what look like NBA scores. That sport hasn't started already, has it? Must be preseason. Doesn't real season start in June?
