If you're happy, I am.
That said, are we rich yet?

What "Brittanicus" (Anonymous!) was trying to say was:
"CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?????????????????????????????????"
Reminding me what my mother used to say when I 'acted up':
"Where are those ear plugs when I need 'em?"

What's not to love, memories generating from the venerable space that defied death more than any vampire. I was there when they kicked off this theater's reinvention construction. It was hot as hell that day. There will be hot times ahead, trust me. Can't wait.

Tradewinds is both a trip down memory lane and a look into tomorrow. Old clientele mix with Bishop Arts types and Lee Harvey's loyalists who love Phillip Jester (late Lee Harvey's GM), the co-owner. Drink specials are embarrassingly cheap and bar service uncommonly neighborhood warm. No food as yet but the old TVs were a great place to watch the Cowboys games. Karaoke ever other Saturday night is back and guest DJs. I drop in a lot at odd hours after other things and it's always unpredictable and comfortable. Try the back room back bar for people watching.

The confusion is traceable to the leaked rumor that the DPD officer who ticketed persons for not speaking English will be raising money for his defense headlining a Journey cover band 'somewhere near downtown'.

I was on the air ,,,,supposedly glibly fundraising for Pledge Drive,,,, this past Saturday when this This American Life segment ran. Try spinning THAT in a happy-go-lucky way in between breaks.
The odd thing to me is that the T.A.L. segment said this house was in Ft. Worth. If indeed it is in Cedar Hill, that's a problem. Cedar Hill is not Ft. Worth any more than Guam is in the Hawaiian Islands.

The way I remember it at UNT, same sex 'couples' was redefined daily. It's the best part of college (sorry mothers); rotating the bedroom crops.
Meanwhile back in the academic jungle, I didn't learn what 'gender neutral' meant. But I did that time when I watched Jerry Springer and watched that' plumber's face when his 'bride' confessed that she was, in fact, a man.
Bottom (or top) line for me: if anyone really cares about Homecoming Queens and Kings(?!) by all means let's define that any way one wishes. And per same-sex homecoming candidates and their potential role for alums; it might jog the memory of those once-young male student bodies of that night at the frat house when they woke up with Donny (and Eric). Perhaps reminding the collegiate-males-of yesteryear unfaithful... when they get too doctrinaire in the course of their golfing game played with let's-pretend middle-aged gay-bashing buddies.

To paraphrase what we asked as kids from the back seat of the car on long family outtings: "Are we rich yet?"
Congrats in advance for the next giant leap for manned flight into the future.

This is when I'm glad I'm young and adaptable instead of digging in my aging heels resistant to change. As the Devil says, "What the hell?"
