How was the week in Houston? To quote Ricky Bobby, "Well, let's see. I got mauled by a cougar ... Wait, I am a cougar. ... I got mauled by a Mustang, I didn't get invited to join the Big 12, and my Crystal Gayle shirt is ruined. Other than that, it was great."

Loved the reference! For the youngsters here:

Artist: Crystal Gayle
Album: We Must Believe in Magic
Cut: "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue"

Great song GoodOwl. I remember the first time I heard that song. Night flying, night tanker, to the range. Night is either boring or nerve racking. It doesn't matter which it was that night. I do remember that all I wanted to do was get home and get to bed. The desk clerk had the radio on and this tune came on while I was trying to get the paper work out of the way and a quick debrief. I told the person behind the desk, that is a very good song. His reply was she is also a pretty lady. The easy going country feel with that beautiful voice had my attention and I have continued to listen to that song since.
