I always overestimate the number of trick-or-treaters that appear at my doorstep.Now I have a whole bucket of chocolate candy sitting in my living room and, well, you know, I can't just let all that food go to waste...

UH's attendance problems, and why complaining won't solve them
Posted on 1:39 PM by jackline
Last Saturday I went to Robertson Stadium to watch the the University of Houston Cougars host Conference USA opponent Central Florida. The weather was great, the tailgating was excellent, and the game was exciting. The Cougar defense struggled mightily, giving up a whopping 530 yards to the Golden Knight offense, and the Cougars found themselves down by a score of 17-21 at halftime. But the Coogs

In between travels...
Posted on 9:07 AM by jackline
Another long trip back from Dubai is complete. I have no problems or hassles to report this time; the security checkpoint at DXB flowed smoothly, the Emirates flight from DXB to JFK was not full and I had a whole row to myself (which meant that I got to stretch out a little bit and at least get some rest), the customs agents at JFK were quick and courteous, and JetBlue's in-flight DirecTV worked
