Watching NFL Football, I About Fell Off My Chair When This Was Pushed To Me -- Sunday, September 22, 2024

As readers know, we call Grapevine, TX, home, now.

I guess Grapevine, TX, is conservative, though I don't really notice it. Grapevine, TX, is also home to DFW airport, and either home to or near huge Amazon fulfillment centers.

But just to the northwest is a very, very conservative Southlake, TX. And to the immediate west, Colleyville, even more so.

Whatever.

There's a very good chance that Ted Cruz could lose this election. 

A little bit of irony here. 

With Roe v. Wade overturned, some battles were won, but the war was not yet over. So, we'll see.

Gillian Anderson has been getting a lot of press lately -- mostly from New York writers, I suppose. I know her only from The X-Files; haven't followed her since, but wow, what a biography. 

Here, in The NY Times, Gillian answers questions on her reading program. I wouldn't have posted this but then I came across this:

Q: What books are. your embarrassed not to have read yet?

A: Middlemarch, Passages, the list goes one.

Middlemarch!!?

I began an aggressive, eclectic reading program in 2000. Middlemarch was a big part of that reading program. I've discussed that book many times on the blog, perhaps most recently, August 18, 2024.

Perhaps one of my best notes on Middlemarch was written / posted September 1, 2012. Sometimes I surprise myself with some of my notes. LOL.

I'm watching the Dallas game.

Color commentary / analysis: Tom Brady.

Wow, Brady does not have a TV announcer's voice. 

I prefer Tony Romo's voice and his "craziness."
