Renai Tankless water heaters invited us to a private dinner with Newt Gingrich and Miss Texas USA. It was a small affair of about 30 people at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas.
On the way to work this morning, my Beetle died. There was no fanfare. I was stuck in traffic on Cooper Street, just idling in front of the Pier 1 by the mall when all of a sudden the engine cut off.…
