Snapshot from a few minutes before Muse took the stage to open the U2 concert at Cowboys Stadium: for those who want to see the inside of the new stadium, the JumboJerry screen, or the ostentatious stage design known as “The Claw.”
Defending the Alamo (from vicious Midlothian criminals)
Monday, October 12th, 2009
It had long been rumored that on the property of the childhood home of one of my friends stood a nearly life-size replica of the Alamo. During a road trip while I was in college I had been to the Alamo in San Antonio (another story for another day), but I had never been to this friend’s home since he was someone I met while I was in college. However, on this fine afternoon, as I had traveled south to DeSoto to hang with a mutual friend, we decided the time was right to head a few paces further south on US-67 to go see how real this historical site dubious spectacle actually was.
Turns out the stories were true. I wonder if his pops did any drugs in the sixties…
Fire Works

Some cool pics of when we were kicking it on July 4th this year. It’s probably a good thing, but no photos exist (to my knowledge) of when the festivities hit the Hancock Golf Course later in the night.
Chill-bert House
Saturday, January 20th, 2007
Four of my friends shared a house for a year or two on Willbert Road near I-35 and 41st street. We had some good times there for sure (the front yard is actually the setting for the photos in the “Fire Works” post last July). But suddenly one night some un-Texas-like winter weather hit and it turned out to be quite spectacular.
