Working Hard at the D Empire

We just got an issue out the door. Not a lot happens the day after that. Here are some examples of our day of hard work:

First, we see Adam, working hard at community relations. Props for making contact here, huh?

Meanwhile, Jessica, since Tim is golfing with Adam, decides she’s seen enough of the naked mannequin by his office. Gentlemen, I will NOT be turning on comments for this post. I think you know why.

Catching Up

Was out yesterday afternoon and much of this morning, and we have a going-away gathering for Tall Paul late this afternoon (and Tim and Adam are golfing, as you may recall [can't find link]). So blogging will be light. Adjust your schedule accordingly.

Also, I’ve been catching up on FB topics from yesterday, and I must say, I’m disappointed in Tim. How can you question Reid’s street cred, T? I give you Xzibit A, at left.

Is Your Teen the Next Food Network Star?

Does your high school senior spend most of his/her free time in the kitchen, whipping up gourmet meals for you and your family? If so, consider yourself very, very lucky.

Winners will receive full-tuition scholarships to culinary school (including The Art Institute of Dallas), and the first place winner will get to be “Intern for a Day” at the Food Network kitchens in New York City.

Trust me–I was once an intern at the Food Network myself, and the stories alone are worth the trip. Besides, there’s nothing like chopping up boxes of red bell peppers into fine brunoise for Emeril to throw at food to make you feel like a real chef.

Jump for all the info.

Big D is Big Indeed

Last night I dorked out civics style at the first night of “Metromorphosis,” a three-part symposium hosted by the Greater Dallas Planning Council. After a gratis glass of wine and a long-fingered handshake from Mayor Leppert, here are some things I learned about our fair city …

Friday Fun

Good Friday, kind sirs and madams. Today’s Friday Fun is called Fisherman Sam. Don’t get too excited, Wick; it’s not fly-fishing. It’s down-arrow-key, up-arrow-key fishing. Launch your spear then bring in your catch. Watch out for the poisoned blow fish. And watch out for the loudish voice intro. Other than that, enjoy.
