One of Commentary’s most favorite and special persons is a Leap Year Baby and is turning 10, err 40 today! She is a great Mom and makes sure Dante, Lucas, and ACE eat the right grub, do their chores (ACE is too young), and do their homework (ACE is too young) before they get to play their video games, watch the tube, ride their bikes, or go to little league practice. She is sharp, smart, opinionated, and just like many in her family votes in every election. It is hard to believe that it has already been 40 years!
If you happen to be by Shade today and see Commentary having lunch with a very attractive woman, stop by the table and wish my niece and goddaughter a very Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday Rachel Campos Estes! Have a great and wonderful day!
Alex Rocco better known as Moe Greene of “The Godfather” is also a Leap Year Baby (76 today).
Dennis Farina of “Get Shorty”, “Crime Story”, and now HBO’s “Luck” is also a Leap Year Baby (68 today).
The day Rachel was born on February 29, 1972, what significant event occurred in MLB?
Leap Year Bonus: Name the former ‘Stros GM who is also a Leap Year Baby.
We got maps but they could be way better maps. HD 134 looks very, very difficult if you ask me.
My pal Robert Miller put out his take of sorts on the maps. Then he dropped this line at the end.
Lastly, expect some filing surprises in the next 6 days. I am hearing that a few incumbents who expected an easy race may find themselves having to burn rubber in the next 89 days!
Let the phones start ringing and rumors start swirling! Like I said, Robert has been on the money lately!
If you don’t believe me, you can check out Robert for yourself here.
New H-Town CM Helena Brown must read the Chron. At yesterday’s and today’s Council meeting, she’s wore a white cowboy hat. I guess she is letting us know that she is one of the good guys.
Speaking of, the H-Town City Council just voted 13-1 to override CM Brown’s tag of an agenda item dealing with increasing taxi cab rates. Take that!
OOPS! They just voted to override another of her tags. I wonder if two tag overrides at one council meeting is a record?
There was a study that was released a few years ago that ranked the Top 100 public addresses/speeches of the 20th century. “I Have a Dream” by Martin Luther King, Jr. ranked numero uno. John F. Kennedy’s speech before the Houston Ministerial Association in 1960 ranked ninth. That is the speech that Rick Santorum said made him barf. There is really not much to day about last night’s results from Arizona and Michigan other than to say that Rick Santorum needs to can the remarks about barfing and The President’s theology.
Henry Aaron of course was the first MLBer in history to sign a contract for $200,000 on February 29, 1972. That’s not even half of today’s minimum salary – yikes!
Former Cleveland Indian great Al Rosen of course (he’s 88 today) served as the ‘Stros GM from 1980-1985.
The ‘Stros announced yesterday that Brett Myers is now the team’s closer.
