R.I.P., Robert B. Andrews

Who is Robert B. Andrews, you ask? An alert FBvian points us to the Washington Post obit of the man who, as an SMU student in the late ’40s, invented a better way to read. And technology might just now be catching up with his idea.

Byron Nelson Round Three: “A Modest Proposal”

An abbreviated Sunday report on round three, from our man in the field (or links), Anthony Pulido:

A Modest Proposal for the Byron Nelson 

Many attendees of the EDS Byron Nelson Championship fail to realize that it is a charitable event, meaning the proceeds from every canned mojito and hot dog you buy go to an excellent cause. Although attendance was very high yesterday, it did break my heart to learn that so many potential donors would have to leave early to attend the Jimmy Buffet concert, or they would not be coming back at all to watch the final round of the tournament because they needed to get psyched for tonight’s very important Mavs and Stars playoff games. Furthermore, we cannot forget about today’s Edgefest.

So what I have done is devised a master plan for next year in the event that all these oh-so-awesome events all occur on the same weekend: The EDS/NBA/NHL Awesome Sports and Crappy Music Festival. Now that the Cottonwood Valley course is no longer being used for the tournament, I see nothing but potential. I’ve already done the hard part; I’ll leave the rest to the smart men in red pants. – Anthony Pulido
