From Big and Rich to LIN-phomania...

Hello and Happy Monday from a very windy North Texas Presidents Day.

My thanks to everyone who attended Sunday night's Season 2 Premiere of 'Big Rich Texas' at Hotel Zaza. That was a fun turnout for some of Dallas' finest. My thanks to those who took the time to 'Hang with Mr. Will'. On a weekend where I have been rather sentimental about making the move to Dallas Texas 11 years ago Sunday night validated the last decade for yours truly.

It's amazing how many reality shows/docudramas are being recorded right here in North Texas. It used to be either L.A., N.Y., or Vancouver B.C. Now Dallas is a major hub for economic growth and job creation. A fun time to be in North Texas.

It was a pleasure to talk to such luminaries like Cynthia Smoot, Pam Martin, Daren Martin, Leeann Locken and Melissa Maness Poe.

Season 2 on 'Big Rich Texas' is going to be an eye opener. That's all I can tell you.

Having spent so many a night inside the Za with mixed company for 5 years it was amazing to feel the amazing vibe of so many movers and shakers of North Texas in one place for one night and for one cause.

Monies raised to help the Fashionistas also an equal success.

Speaking of success, I was in front of my television all day Sunday watching the Mavericks-Knicks game. Rather streaky and not too squeaky. I was very impressed to see the poise and prose of Jeremy Lin. 28 points and 14 assists. A 17-0 Knicks run in the 1st half.

A 12 point Dallas lead in the second half. Tyson Chandler was an absolute menace in the paint. J.R. Smith was a welcome return to the Garden. Go ahead and place me on the side of 'Like' for the Lin-Sanity. New York won by a 104-97 count. It was not even that close. Madison Square Garden was one energetic arena!

The Boston Celtics come to Dallas tonight for what will hopefully be a bounce back win...

Today after 13 years, I will be playing golf with a new set of sticks. I had no idea just how far technology has come with the forgiving sweet spots of the newer stuff. I look to acquainting myself well with the Ram GForce brand of sticks in my bag.

A few swings on the driving range had me very excited. A return trip to Tangle Ridge Golf Course in Grand Prairie, Texas. First time in 4 months. This will be a beating :)

I hope you have a wonderful President's Day. Stay safe!

Over and out in Big D.

Mr. Will
