Shutting it down for a week.
Merry Christmas from the Hill Country of Central Texas.
Randy
Back at you and your family Randy. Sorry that we will not be able to root Texas on this year in a bowl game. I've got tickets for our Pokes game in the Alamo Bowl and look forward to an exciting game with YET another Stoops involved. Sigh!
Did you hear the latest rumor? That OSU may approach (or as) Mike Leach to replace Dana. I guess Mike is the one who taught Dana so it might be a good fit if we can keep Leach under control as the O-coordinator. Wacky stuff...
Merry Christmas and Have a great New Year!

Wow Ted, it’s probably priceless! Why don’t you post a couple of pictures of it!
All US history is fascinating to me. Especially the West.
Have a great Holiday season. 🙂

Alexander Watkins Terrell, Attorney
Here's a link to the Handbook of Texas entry for Alexander Watkins Terrell, a prominent Texas attorney who fought both sides of the Civil War, first against secession and then taking a commission in the Confederate Army.
Alexander Watkins Terrell, Texas Lawyer
The best market for that sword would probably be to attorneys who are Civil War buffs.
