Happy Labor Day weekend everyone :hello:
The memorial service on Friday for Steve McGonigle, Dallas Morning News reporter, was the most entertaining I've ever experienced. Three of his colleagues and his son (my brother-in-law) spoke, and some of the stories were pretty amazing. The work of his and colleague Ed Timms was quoted by Justice Thurgood Marshall in a landmark Supreme Court case in the late 80s helping to eliminate corruption in the justice system with regard to racism and jury rigging. It was a wonderful celebration of his life.
Yesterday was the opening football game for The University of Texas Longhorn Football Team. Despite a lack luster first half where New Mexico State scored the first touchdown of the game late in the second quarter, Texas managed to rip off two quick scores for a 14-7 halftime lead. We picked that momentum right back up and scored touchdowns on our first three possessions of the second half in route to a 56-7 win and a school record for total yards in a single game. It was an incredible balance of 356 passing and 359 rushing yards for a 715 yard total.
Football is back!
:happydance: :happydance: :happydance:
Heading to lunch now to celebrate my other brother-in-law's birthday. Then we're headed to a friend's pool party. Will have to :postwhore: and catch up later :tiphat:
