Observations and Questions and Ruminations About Josh Hamilton’s “Relapse”
Josh Hamilton had a relapse. That’s what Gerry Fraley called it. That’s what everyone else is calling it. Me, I feel like I need some more details. All we know now is what Fraley reported: “Hamilton drank alcohol Monday night at Sherlock’s Pub & Grill in Dallas.” He didn’t take off his shirt and spread whipped cream on his chest. He drank alcohol. Did he do seven shots of tequila? Did he drink a Negroni? Or did he take four pulls on a Shiner? The guy is an addict. One sip is too much. I get that. But if Josh Hamilton drank one beer on Monday, I’m not sure I’m ready to call it a “relapse.”
A few other points:
If Hamilton was all like, “Screw God, I’m getting wasted,” why did he go to Sherlock’s? Dumb, dumb, dumb. I’d recommend the Meddlesome Moth. The Old Monk. Even Lee Harvey’s.
Kidding. But why go to such a public place?
Follow-up question: who the hell serves Josh Hamilton a frickin’ drink? Does every bar in Dallas need a picture of Josh Hamilton in the break room so everyone can refamiliarize himself with what he looks like before his shift begins? Seriously. He’s the most famous person in town who is trying to stay sober. Let’s help the guy out a little.
Finally, I’m glad this happened. I want Josh to remain a Ranger. And he just lost a lot of bargaining power.
Dallas Quakes at Midnight, Writer Blames Dog
So, true story: Last night (or early this morning, depending on your mindset), around midnight, I heard a noise in my kitchen. Loudish. I thought it was my dog, being a douche canoe, and I may have actually told him, “Hey, you, quit being so loud on a school night,” or something to that effect but with a lot more cursing.
This morning, I find that I probably owe my dog an apology, because there was an earthquake pretty much where I live-ish. Geologists say the epicenter of the 2.0 quake was around Northwest Highway and Inwood Road.
But you know what? The dog also gassed up the joint pretty bad last night, so I’m going to call this even. So where were you during the Great Quake of 2012*? I was Febreezing dog farts.
* unless, you know, we have another. Can that happen? Is this a thing now?

photography by Jerry McClure
Heads up: Any bar dedicated enough to dye our drinks green makes the cut. Our rundown for after Saturday’s main event.
Greenville Block Party
Why you should go: No one here is sorry for partying. Plus, it’s basically a one-stop shop. Each of the bars and restaurants from Stan’s Blue Note to just south of The Grape will host its own shindig, which usually includes $5 beer. Expect a few surprises like wine slushes at The Grape, limited edition green bottles of Bud and Bud Light at Blue Goose, and burgers at San Francisco Rose. Ten bucks gets you over the border.

We’ll have an album up soon with photos from the party taken by something more advanced than my digital camera and iPhone. (Both died before the end of the party. I will be more prepared for tonight’s parties.)
Snowpocalypse Continues to Plague Super Bowl XLV
Of course the story last night at the GQ, Lacoste, and Cadillac party was the weather. At least, it was at the beginning of the party. Media was told to arrive at 8:30, but valet didn’t open until 9. Therefore some of us had to walk a block in the snow/ice/sludge. The planners were still preparing the Hickory Street Annex 15 minutes before the party. They realized that when they put heat lamps on the deck, the ice on the overhang started melting. Not wanting to repeat the incident from earlier in the day, they sent people to the roof with shovels to knock down the snow and ice.
