This is a fun time of the year for me, albeit a bit maddening. All the media pundits were yakking about how the Dallas Stars would probably play a Friday/Sunday combination of home games against the Colorado Avalanche this weekend. Then NBC had to step in and screw that up! Saturday at 2 pm then games 2-7 if needed every other day in a 2-2-1-1-1 format.
I was in Costa Mesa a newlywed and if anything was shaking...it wasn't from the earthquake(ahem!). Back to that 1906 event, it was reported that the night before the tragedy, singer Enrico Caruso was performing downtown and got a rude awakening. Caruso vowed to 'never play there again'...
Bedford Texas was a hotspot yesterday as one young couple, Jim and Betsy, celebrated a 25 year wedding anniversary at the Old Bedford Schoolhouse. With over 125 people in attendance and the Dallas Maverick houseband Emerald City performing, a good time was had by all despite the heat...and the harsh winds.
Brian James is the visionary behind it and to those who don't know him, BJ lives for big group gatherings where the food is plentiful and the drink flows like the Nile. (Note to Brian: You are the host stud!) This year's host was Bear Creek Golf Course in Euless...My crew of Adrian, Chris, and Carl were awesome in collecting a 74 for the round! I knew it would be a special day when a coyote trotted right past us on the first tee...
Note to all you fair weathered Texans who believe that any sport other than the Longhorns, Sooners, or Cowboys is an appetizer: In baseball we play ten times as many games as y'all do. If we spread each game out over a week we'd make a season last five years and the World Series would run until X-mas.
