A very productive day in Dallas, marred only by Love Field & DFW ground stop resulting from telecom outage. Glad I got back home in time for this.
One of the great things about Lea Salonga’s concert at Miller Theatre was that she had music for all ages and generations. I confess this is my favorite. But some of the younger folks really got into it—dancing in the aisles.
It is a VERY full and enthusiastic house for Lea Salonga at Miller Theatre in @HermannPark !!!
The @Texas2036 report for the 2025 Legislative Session is out! It chronicles the important progress we helped enable in the 2025 session across a range of issues: education & workforce, water infrastructure, health care, child care, housing & more. texas2036.org/wp-content/upl…
Great and diverse Houston crowd for Texas county music concert at Miller Outdoor Theatre in @HermannPark this evening. Here’s a snippet from the West Texas Exiles.
Shakespeare is killing it in Houston! Thanks to @UHTheatreDance for bringing 9 outstanding performances to Miller Outdoor Theatre in @HermannPark. This evening’s packed performance marked conclusion of the Houston Shakespeare Festival! Great turnout. A fantastic gift to Houston.
Went to @Costco to buy some wine (& other health items like Gruyere & prosciutto). Used self-checkout, but wine required a cashier to come do age check & enter my birth date. Without asking, she put in a date in 1999, & said: "That's about right, isn't it?" I love Costco people!
Great to see Jarrett Dillard mentioned TWICE on this list! Jarrett was an extraordinary @RiceFootball receiver. After a brief pro career he completed a law degree at South Texas and is now an accomplished attorney. A shining example of a student athlete! foxsports.com/stories/colleg…
What makes @Texas2036 a truly extraordinary and effective organization? Amazing people like @marylynnpruneda who work to identify and communicate the policies that will improve the lives and opportunities of all Texans, and then engage to support their implementation.
