Dublin Dr Pepper Sets Up Legal Defense Fund. It’s in a fight with the big boss, Dr Pepper Snapple Group. At issue: Dublin Dr Pepper is infernally delicious, and probably some other stuff.
FC Dallas Developmental Player Jose Perez Dies in Car Accident. Too much heartbreak surrounding the too-often overlooked team lately, with the sudden death of Bobby Rhine and now this. Perez was just 18.
Toni Pippins-Poole Officially Named Head of County Elections. She was former chief Bruce Sherbet’s first assistant. And not, as I guessed, a British cheerleading coach.
Josh Hamilton Saves Flooring Customers Around $500,000 With a Grand Slam. CC Carpet promised customers a refund if Hamilton hit a grand slam, and last night he did. One other thing of note from last night’s game: watching my son eat a funnel cake was borderline horrifying, and the resulting sugar crash was just poor planning/parenting on my part.

We learned through trial and error that timing is very important when it comes to Ballpark food for kids. You start them with some “real” food early in the game (hot dog, burger, etc.). Then, no matter how much they plead, you hold out until the sixth inning to get them their dessert. The sugar high should get you through the rest of the game and the subsequent crash will make them fall asleep on the ride home. Of course, that assumes no extra innings, in which case you have to consider something else sweet to keep the high going.
@1Zima2Many: I actually did follow that schedule. A couple of $1 hot dogs at the beginning, then funnel cake around the sixth. But, I forgot that, since the game was early, I picked him up before he’d finished his homework, and I’d agreed that he could finish it after. NEVER AGAIN.
