Just to catch you up on my unfortunate heat exhaustion event – I am back to my usual, abi-normal self. About the success of the Ice Cream Crank-off on Walnut – great response, sweet, cool treat on a very hot Saturday, with lots of “after-the-fact” buzz.
To all our new students at University of North Texas, Texas Woman’s University and North Central Texas College … Welcome and get 
ready for a edifying, crazy, fun ride!
