  • A most nice way for TEX to start a weekend series against OAK! #
  • It's a great morning to be working outside at the neighborhood S'Bucks. Then a drive to Houston this afternoon for a meeting Friday. #
  • Wow, the Rangers are fun to watch these days! Nice managing, Mr. Washington. #
  • But actually am glad to be headed back to DFW from ONT. Cali was HOT! #
  • Seriously. People dress really badly for airplanes. TSA needs mirrors 'cause the folks apparently ain't got 'em at home! #

  • Doesn't get much finer than a lamb burger, a glass of cab franc, and 75 degrees at Rectory Cafe on Toronto Island. http://twitpic.com/2fdgh3 #
  • I love it when LAA and OAK lose and TEX wins! (Truth? I'm happy when even just LAA loses!). And I'm from LA–but the good LAD side of town! #

  • My iPhone is serious about multitasking. It has a couple times now, without any action on my part, decided to play music. Kinda nice treat! #
  • AA 1071 from ATL to DFW only one a/c unit working. Pilot: "thermostat said 78 degrees." Yeah, in the cockpit! And now back to 105… #
  • Overheard at biz dinner tonight about a good friend of mine: "So, you set a new hiring standard with Jason…". Very nice! #
  • AND on the plane. Do people really need to carry on some of the crap they do? Good grief. #
  • tWas truly amateur hour at DFW security today! #

    Went to the gym to work out.

    Monday, 9:20 a.m.
    Parked at DFW for a trip to ATL.

    Friday, 3:45 p.m.
    Arrived back at my car after flying back to DFW.

    Friday, 3:46 p.m.
    Considering whether to trade in my 4Runner or burn it. Lesson learned: do not leave sweaty gym clothes in a parked car for 4+ days in Dallas in August.

  • So Discount Tire is a ridiculously busy place today. I guess some stuff is recession-proof. (And I guess I'll always be impatient!) #
  • No matter how many times you try, when you plug your iPhone into your computer's Ethernet slot… iTunes simply will not recognize it! #
  • I hafta remember to not leave my sunglasses in the little storage place in my 4Runner roof this time of year. I just branded my face! #

  • I wonder if AT&T will ever let me complete a conference call without dropping… from a fixed location. Verizon please get the iPhone! #
  • Rangers 7up! SWEET!!! #
  • Whew! It's finally 8pm on July 25. One hour closer to October… #

  • Lucky dog on the Park & Fly bus is going to Seattle. Where it's in the 70s. Is it almost October yet?! #
  • There are apparently a few more people in the airport than my level of patience would like right now… #
  • Oh yeah. Breakfast at the Flying Bisquit! http://twitpic.com/27uxc9 #
  • Is Twitbird busticated? Or is it another iOS4 issue? Perhaps the second app I'll need to reload since I "upgraded"… #
  • Check out this article from FOX News. We Told You So–Obama Tries to Pull a Fast One On Health Care: http://fxn.ws/c60Zju // H-Care DEform. #
  • From Friday's game: 2 to 2 with count of 2 and 2 with two runners on in bottom of 2nd inning. That's too many http://tl.gd/2jmn4f #
  • #Rangers take 3 outta 4 in Boston. Gotta love it! #

  • Did you see the play Michael Young just made? Beautiful!! #
  • RT @kevingerald Saw a t-shirt " Jesus if you're not coming back soon, Can you at least send back Ronald Reagan" (via @davidcrank)// Amen! in reply to kevingerald #
  • Little insight … I have six scheduled AA flights listed in my profile. All go's. Good news is… Not all are work related!! #
  • Another reason I wish it was October: too many amateurs traveling, clogging up every line possible! #
  • Will the NL do it?… Hold it?… #
  • Pappasitos' Brisket Tacos = "My stomach is full but my mouth wants more!" Yowza! #
  • The housekeeper at the Marriott Northwest Atlanta reflects the great attitude of the entire staff. http://twitpic.com/251uga #
  • Two hours later we're pushing away again. I got the warms, just not the warm fuzzies. This is like air travel in the 1800s–without a/c! #
  • Delayed an hour+ longer. Not enough fuel so going back to a gate–"if they can find one." There are so few gates at DFW doncha know… #
  • This plane is so stinkin hot I'm about to start peeling layers. And I ain't got many layers. 20 minutes into a 70+ minute ground hold. Crap. #
