Things to do in Dallas?

How about only having one phone in your house even though you are supposed to be a millionaire. Or have a very expensive wedding and hold it in the carport on the front drive.

A quote from my mother: "I stopped watching Dallas when Bobby came back from the dead. It was just so unbelieveable.". As if any of the rest of it was any more beliveable!

There's always another nostril to pick...

But I prefer a game of solitaire. A lot better than watching paint dry.

You'd be amazed at how many complex reactions are taking place when paint is drying.

Physicists can make anything complex once they start explaining it.

RE: Things to do in Dallas when you're bored.

Something else to do in Dallas when you're bored...

Get a recording of Warren Zevon's Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead and a program that let's you overdub.  Try to replace every mention of the word "Denver" with "Dallas".  For still more overdubbing merriment, perhaps try to overdub names of people and places with Dallas people and landmarks.

This may not be fun, but it might make sheer boredom seem not so bad.

I could be the world's greatest underachiever, if I could just learn to apply myself.
