I’ve read it. It’s good. Everything Roberts. Writes is good
They're building an LNG plant in Louisiana. Makes perfect sense - state wants their cut so you'll sponsor LSU football to pay for coaches and NIL. It's the Louisiana way.
70-80’s Arlington was a great place. Demographics change and that’s the end of the area. Rinse repeat.

The Doobie Brothers were never the same

It still feels like an uneasy truce for Tom Johnston when I see the band interviewed.


he killed what was The Doobie Brothers. I give him credit for all the projects and songs he has or was involved with in the yacht rock era, but man I loved the Doobies as a kid and they were ruined. Toulouse Street and The Captain and Me were peak Doobies
went to grad school with a guy who worked for a large South African based company. As far back as 2000 their unwritten corporate policy was to invest as much of their capital outside of South Africa as feasibly possible. They knew for 25 years this was going to be a failure.

That's why Frankie decides to testify, until they show him they can get to his family even back in Sicily, and Tom gives him the talk about Roman honor.


The scene with Frankie and Tom is one of the greatest scenes in either movie.

And i don't think Frankie changed his testimony because he thought they could get to his family. He already knew that was the case. He changed it because the presence of this brother It was a reminder of the Sicilian code of omertà, or the code of silence. Pentangeli was reminded of his Sicilian heritage, and that narcking on Michael would be a cardinal sin in the society that he came from. He saw changing his testimony as the honorable thing to do at that point.

I'm guessing Timan Fertitta also is lobbying hard to keep LC viable. Although I would think he would just recreate it in Galveston if he had the chance.

One of our former pastors was in it. Said it was one of the best things he’s ever been involved with. Supposedly he still has a tight group of friends from the experience.
The French woman on their ice dancing team and especially her skimpy outfit was worth the watch today. My. Goodness that azz was spectacular.

We did Helen once. It’s touristy and very kitschy. Entirely too many people. Glad we spent a few hours there but never again.
rode Bacchus a few times back in the day. we always wore safety glasses on the float for all the beads being thrown back at us. One year when we hit Canal a certain youth who you would certainly see in large number on Canal every day threw a bunch of stuff at us trying to hurt us. Needless to say, he got bombed - was it juvenile of us to stoop to his level? Yes it was, and it was satisfying.

there is no treatment for high LPa. There is a clinical trial drug out there - so you might try to get on the trial.

Some say taking Niacin might help.

It's an inherited condition. I have low LDL/Cholesterol and high LPa as well as a bad calcium score.
its easily one of the top golf destinations in the country, plus you have MLB spring training in the area.
