RIP to a true class act.  As my pal Hagar often says, reminds me of the old S&G lyric, “where have you gone Joe DiMaggio, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.”  Regardless of how you viewed his politics, he and his bride brought great class and dignity to the White House.  One can only hope they are enjoying a reunion of epic proportions up above after their brief separation.

A great example of the class and dignity exhibited by GHWB, which no doubt was an impetus to a great friendship that enjoyed the rest of his days:

I hope the American people and history will remember him fondly.  I know I will, and will do so today by enjoying one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands:

My wife coordinated an event for him about 15 years ago in River Oaks. She's got a picture of them on her desk at work. While she didn't agree with his politics, she was in awe of his presence and charisma. One of the greatest American heroes. He gave so much for our country.

And no, he didn't grope her during the photo op.

Rest easy, Mr. President.

In my best McConaughey voice, “it’d been a lot cooler if he did..”

MY cousin worked in the garage of the building where the Houston Club is located.  They sent him to IAH airport to give a ride to then Congressman Bush.  This was way before Uber.  Cousin said he told some colorful jokes.

I saw President Bush up close, but I didn't get a chance to speak to him.   He was getting he DL renewed.  SS guys everywhere.  There is a parole office next door.  All those guys were getting off the bus and saw President Bush in his car.  They were waving and he was waving back.   I thought that was cool.

Bush should have added a P.S. to the note...leave the interns alone.

      Port Neches-Groves vs Texas High

      I too, wish #15 was healthy and playing.  And also another RB (can't recall the #), who went down in the first game of the season. But, some others have stepped up and are hard runners.  I'm really looking forward to watching this game.

      Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story.

      West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?

      Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.
