I read that Obama has called a bunch of people whom he will not select as his running mate.  I haven’t received a call yet, so I think I’m in!  Keep your fingers crossed.

Come to think of it, I haven’t heard from McCain either!

An Evening With Brice Beaird

Neighbors know Highland Park resident Brice Beaird as a community staple. He’s a businessman, philanthropist, SMU professor, and family man.

But what some may not know is that in addition to his day job, Brice is a musician (and talented at that). In the upcoming weeks, he will be performing at White Rock Cafe Aug. 28 and Poor David’s Pub Aug. 30.

Take a listen to the man himself: Meridian

Team Spirit

Great column this week, Merritt.  Those of us with older kids who’ve already been introduced to the team concept know what a wonderful thing it is.  It makes the transition from our sweet little elementary schools to the big middle school so much easier.

I’ve had a Chief, a Superstar, two Think Tankers, a Hotshot and a Trailblazer and they’ve all been great teams with great teachers.
