The Released

This Veterans' Day had me thinking about Rambo, yes Rambo. I was thinking about what happens to a lot of our soldiers when they return home. This train of thought also led me to remember The Drag near UT in Austin. I remembered this story on Frontline.

Larger Than Life

Today, I spent the day at UT. Notice, I am not saying Austin; just UT. There is a difference. I did not get to S. Congress, Kerbey Lane, Lucy in Disguise, Mega whole Foods, Hill Country, etc... Not even a Segway.

I did have the best visits of all. I saw for the first time the Barbara Jordan statue. The schulptor really captured her essence!

I also got to visit with my mentor, who was in the early '80's, the best prof and advisor in his particular college on campus. Now, he is a graduate dean.

The Eyes of Texas are Upon Ya'

Today's game was some "shoot out". Texas 16 Oklahoma 13! 'nougf said. Here is an earlier ESPN interview with QB Colt McCoy.

We Are Texas

Accordion Kings & Queens

Busy day today. Breakfasts at Mom and Dad's, then an honor society luncheon. Over 20 years ago, I was inducted into this honor society for my profession, however, I needed to be inducted again. I was informed by national that records are not kept for such a long time period, especially if I did not renew my annual membership. So today, I was inducted again. That was ok with me, but, I would have liked to re-join the University of Texas chapter, rather than Houston. Nevertheless, I was proud to be honored. After, that an afternoon visit with my sister. The evening consisted of the missed unveiling of the Barack Obama bust. I'll just have to settle for a viewing tomorrow.
Then a cajun, polka, conjunto, and zydeco concert. See the video above. It features Cedryl Ballou on lyrics from an earlier performance. He was in Houston tonight with the Accordion Kings and Queens concert. The video below features Houston's own Johnny Ramirez. He is the 2008 winner of the Big Squeeze Competition for amature accordion players 25 and under.

Then, I went home for a nap. Last, a late,late,late dinner at Myi's.
