THSC convention in The Woodlands every year is worth attending even if you're just considering homeschooling. Massive vendor hall, workshops, legal updates.

Flower Child in Preston Hollow is consistently excellent. The organic greens bowl with salmon is my go-to.

As a fan of a non-blue-blood Texas school: expansion is the only reason my team has any hope of ever making the playoff. Before expansion, it was literally 4 teams from 3 conferences.

As someone who has watched F1 for 20 years, the American growth is incredible but the Netflix fans do not understand the sport. They think it is a reality show with cars.

Libraries in DFW are massively underrated for kids. Free story time, STEM programs, summer reading — all free.

The State Fair combination makes this a unique event in all of sports. Football, Fletcher's Corny Dogs, Big Tex, and 92,000 people losing their minds. All in Dallas.

TexasLawHelp.org has fillable forms for everything — protective orders, name changes, small claims petitions. It's an incredible resource.

Both teams guaranteed a possession in the regular season too. Not just playoffs. If it is fair enough for a conference championship, it is fair enough for Week 6.

The AG child support calculator is useful but doesn't account for everything. Medical insurance, daycare costs, and special needs expenses are calculated separately.

The Richardson Senior Center is doing a scam awareness workshop next Tuesday. Free, open to all ages. Worth bringing a parent or grandparent.

Fun fact: the High Five cost $261 million to build and my commute still takes 55 minutes.

The equal distribution model is what makes it work. In La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona get the largest shares. In England, the bottom club gets a meaningful share. That is why the league is competitive top to bottom.

Dez caught it. I will die on this hill. Source: my own eyes and the laws of physics.

Arch Manning is the next Heisman from Texas. The hype has been building since he was 16 years old. If he starts and the Longhorns contend for the SEC title, he will be in New York in December.

NEVER admit the debt is yours on the phone. "I'm requesting written validation" is the only sentence you need.

The meat markdown tip is gold. I got $40 worth of ribeyes for $16 at the Kroger on Beltline last week.

TXTransfer.org is the most important tool nobody tells you about. Verify EVERY course transfers before you take it. I lost 6 credit hours because I didn't check.

Gold's Gym Mockingbird is the best lifting gym in Dallas. Real equipment, serious atmosphere, fair price. Dallas-born brand too.

CrossFit Feral in Fort Worth has produced several athletes who've made it to the CrossFit Games. If you're competitive, this is the box.

BBB Scam Tracker is underrated. Search any phone number or business name and see if others have reported it.

"Please learn to merge" should be on the DFW welcome sign instead of whatever they have now.

Korean noraebang > American karaoke bars. Having your own room changes everything. No waiting for your turn. No singing in front of 50 strangers.

Construction on 35 has been happening since before I was born and will continue after I die. It is eternal. It is forever.

Terminal D is a zoo right now. Every gate is full. People sitting on the floor everywhere.

I-35E through Oak Cliff is brutal. The Zang Blvd detour works but adds 10 minutes and way more traffic lights.
