Barbara and I are hard at work planning for Mom and Dad's visit to Texas from California. With so much to handle for travel itinerary the week they are here, a little pre Santa joy being sent your way from Dallas Texas. Enjoy!
5.Prior to this past Saturday, the last time the Highland Park Scots were champions of 4A football, Dwight Eisenhower was president, Hank Aaron won the Triple Crown, The Baltimore Colts were the kings of football with Johnny U, and Elvis Presley was king! With Highland Park's 59-0 victory at Tyler and the current Colts at 13-0, might Elvis rise from the dead? Congrats to Jake Feldt, Matt Stafford, Coach Allen and players/staff on a fantastic season. 1957 now a distant memory...
On the way home I saw some stupid drivers needing to be leader of the pole position, sliding across the roads for their stupidity! One 18 wheeler jack-knifed 30 yards ahead of me, another tried going uphill and only went off the embankment sideways. For the most part, if you kept your speed at 30 MPH you were okay. At 3 this morning, the mercury read 18 in Arlington. At noon today Dallas sits at 21. COLD!
Jere Lehtinen would score the first and last of Dallas' goals, the latter with 15.8 seconds left in regulation. Dallas would jump to an early 3-0 lead after one period. Florida would storm back and tie it at 3 after 2, one goal made by ex-Star Joe Nieuwendyk.
As Dirk goes, so go the Mavericks! 31 points and to hold the Pacers to 34% shooting will allow many an 84-75 victory. Dallas at 12-5 yet still in third place. It could be worse! Memphis will be next on the docket on Friday.
