1. LeAnne Novacek, the wife of former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jay Novacek, was found dead at her mother’s home in Burleson. It was an apparent suicide.
[I couldn't not do that story. But I also don't want to completely bum you out this morning. So let's take a moment, pause and reflect on the good things in our lives, and then I'll make with the jokes. Or "jokes."]
2. If you intend to commit a robbery, make sure the getaway car is in working order. I’m not talking about nitrous injectors or cop brakes. Just something that gets you from point A to point B. Or at least gets you away from point A. Obviously, if your heist involves beauty products, and you’ve ensnared a 5-year-old in your plan, you have bigger problems. You know what? I’m sorry. This ended up bumming me out, in a completely different way from No. 1, and I bet I’m not alone. I’ll try something else.
3. “Carrollton soil is notorious for cracking and shifting.” Are you going to take that kind of smack talk from Fox 4 traffic reporter Chip Waggoner, Carrollton? I know Addison wouldn’t. Neither would Allen. Richardson might. Actually, Richardson has been feeling its oats since Bono gave it a shout out at the U2 show. Never mind.

The DMN had to had to disable reader comments on the Novacek story “because of numerous violations of the dallasnews.com Terms of Service.” What the heck were people writing? What’s wrong with people these days? Seriously, people are so demented that they can’t pass up posting their vitriol as comments to a suicide story? Now that story bums me out in at least two ways.
It’s difficult to engage in smack talk when all I have to do is look at the cracks in my walls and the doors that don’t work properly to know that he is right about Carrollton’s soil.
Geez, Zac. What did you have for breakfast this morning?
@Zooey: The milk of human kindness. And half a waffle.
Must have been the half a waffle.
I just got a new bag of socks.
That one that closes off Side One of, which one was it? American Stars and Bars? “Bite the Bullet.”
My attorney seems competent so far.

Matt has disgusting eczema, but I don’t.
For a Class C, if you just set a court date, it will probably be dismissed.
It would suck if you had to wear a uniform with your name on it — like not ironically but actually. That would suck.

[CAN WE STOP YET? REFLECTING ON THE GOOD THINGS IN OUR LIVES? BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SAY WHEN TO STOP. SERIOUSLY, I'VE GOT TO PEE.]
@Blake: That’s usually the culprit.
@Daniel: As you were, sir.
