I asked his name and he told me Sean Weatherspoon, I said the OLB from Mizz and he was pretty suprised I knew who he was. I told him I would have liked us to have drafted him and teamed him up with Ryan and Cushing, but we had some more pressing needs. He also told me that Sean's Aunt (his sister) is Teresa Weatherspoon, former WNBA point guard for the New York Liberty who had recently been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, Along with Pippen and Malone. So, needless to say, there are some real athletes in that family.

I know RoyP, painekiller, and a few others were high on him, especially after the Senior Bowl so I thought I'd share that with ya'll.

Funny you should ask, I work on the west side in a cardiac cath lab. I've been working in the cath lab for more than 10 years, so if you have any questions about caths and procedures, feel free to PM me.

I am having a bypass and a valve replacement on Monday. I hope I can say I am survivor in 25 years, I also have the hereditary plaque causing havoc, and my lifestyle choices are not helping, well my new life starts Monday.

Indeed, pk. Don't watch any Texans games for a few weeks and have a restful and full recovery.

And, edo, the nursing home near me in NW Austin (convalescent center, retirement community, whatever the buzzwords are now) actually has a big sign at the curb looking for RNs and LNs, so if she's interested, e-mail me (bob@astrosdaily.com) and I can get the name and address. I pass by it on my way to the office each day. 183-N at Duval Rd.
