Repeat tweets from January, 2013:

  • 1 Jan 2013: Headline: "Bard men fall to Caltech again in basketball." Go Beavers! http://www.dailyfreeman.com
  • 2 Jan 2013: Final. Berkner 100, Sunset 36. It's a great time to be a Ram. #txhsbb
  • 4 Jan 2013: Headline: "Senator John Cornyn's Outrageous Op-Ed On The Debt Ceiling." Cornyn's a deadbeat. http://www.slate.com
  • 6 Jan 2013: I'm glad I'm not only one who thought Sunday's Redskins game was less playoff football, and more medical malpractice. http://www.slate.com
  • 7 Jan 2013: Headline: "Seahawks' Russell Wilson last rookie QB left in playoffs." He's from the University of Wisconsin. :-)
  • 8 Jan 2013: Headline: "Australia Is So Hot, They Had to Add a New Color to the Weather Map." Not to worry. Weather is not climate. http://www.theatlanticwire.com
  • 8 Jan 2013: Headline: "US roasts to hottest year on record by landslide." Great. Global warming wasn't bad enough? Landslides, too? http://news.yahoo.com

Charter Amendment Upheld By Court

ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that judgment be rendered in favor of the Contestee, Mayor Steve Mitchell. ... This is a final, appealable Judgment disposing of all claims against parties.
Source: Honorable Gene Knize.
Whoa... "Mayor" Steve Mitchell? Isn't the current mayor Bob Townsend? Isn't the new mayor going to be Amir Omar or Laura Maczka? Wasn't the former mayor Gary Slagel? It turns out that "Mayor" Steve Mitchell is not a typo here. Steve Mitchell was mayor of Richardson from 2007-2009. A little bit of history that has been bouncing around our legal system for what seems like forever needs to be disposed of before we can devote all of our attention to the upcoming council election.

After the jump, an important court ruling on an old legal case.

Bye Bye Birdie at BHS


Bye Bye Birdie at Berkner High School: A+ all around -- orchestra, lead singers, chorus, choreography, comic acting (Shriners hilarious). Best sound ever.

Little Shop of Horrors at RHS


Little Shop of Horrors at Richardson High School: Intimate setting of black box theater works well. The macabre has never been this much fun. Feed me!
