The oldest piece of clothing I own is this 1998 Sam Houston sweatshirt. Refuse to let it go.
Still wear it often in the winter and looks almost as good as the day purchased.
It has survived numerous road trips, moves and spills.
Consider it almost like a friend.

The Seattle Seahawks are currently the NFL's best team and 2 Dallas area products are a big reason why.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is playing WR at another level and Byron Murphy is a havoc creating monster in the interior DL.

The most effective bosses/teachers/coaches all share one attribute in common.
They motivate employees/students/athletes to consistently produce maniacal effort.
It's the key to unlocking and maximizing potential.
Intelligence is overrated. Ability often is, too.

Be a good person. Surround yourself with people of integrity. It's not that hard.
Will always remember the following from a former student.
"I don't remember much of what you taught me in class. I remember everything you taught me about life."

The agenda today.
1. (Bad) Golf
2. TV 1 tonight - Seeing if the underpaid, overachieving Dodgers can prolong their season
3. TV 2 - Watching my beloved alma mater attempt to win a 🏈 game at Louisiana Tech. Would be the biggest upset since my kids turned down a free meal.

Feeling about as low as humanly possible. My ♥️ is shattered.
This Mariners loss ranks right up there with the Crabtree catch, the Dwight Clark catch and the Jackie Smith dropped pass as all time sports lows.
Will sting forever. Baseball is a cruel game.

Leaving for Port Angeles early in the morning on a business/pleasure excursion.
Can't wait to get out of Allergy Hell for a few days and equally excited to be in the PNW during the Mariners playoff run.
Will be watching the Longhorns Saturday.

Had a colleague who loved to brag about his academic accomplishments. He had no wife and no life outside school.
I left SHSU with a modest GPA, a wife, lifetime friends and stories of adventures to last forever.
I win.

That was impressive. Never in my wildest sports dreams did I imagine the Mariners would hold that lineup to 1 run.

Will be there Thursday through Monday and would love to meet up and watch the games.

Obviously want more, but would be more than satisfied if my Mariners can split these first 2 games in Toronto.
Don't love the pitching matchup tonight. This team, however, has consistently silenced my doubts.
Can't wait to be in the area later in the week.
