A Couple of Random Things
* I am supremely bummed that one of my favorite people was just diagnosed with cancer. Ann Richards is smart, funny, and a real Texas treasure. Aim some prayers toward Houston and M.D. Anderson from her, okay? The world would be less interesting without her in it.
* My favorite Oscar winner is Larry McMurtry. Not only did he write The Last Picture Show (and, oh yeah, some flick called Brokeback Mountain), but he was the only winner to thank his lawyers in his acceptance speech. That wasn't quite what I meant in my last post, but hey, I'm all about recognizing a job well done.
* While thinking about the Oscar winners, did anyone notice that darn near everyone thanked their Mom? How can the rest of us compete with that? Mom, I really appreciate you and think you do a great job of, well, Momming for me. I wouldn't hold my breath on being thanked at the Oscars, though.
* I thought I was ready for it to be summer and for the weather to be great, but it turns out I was wrong. They're predicting 85 degree weather again this weekend. I got sunburned last weekend. You know, we usually joke here in Texas that we have four seasons: November, December, January, and summer. This year we're down to 2: fall, summer. I think I may be getting cheated out of a spring.
* When you're typing too fast and you accidentally title a post "A Couple of Random Thongs," it's a little disconcerting to have the person reading over your shoulder go "Man, I miss college." I don't want to know. I just hope they weren't his.
