There's a hint of Fall in the air, but it's still squarely in Summer. We will still hit 80s today. Enjoyed the day off yesterday to watch Christian's football but it's the last Saturday off until De...

Sunday Morning Tuneage & Weekly TV (10/14/7)

October's in Texas can be the most frustrating of all. It's still in the high 80s or low 90s most of these days. At night, we get a taste of 60s and 70s but it's still Summer most afternoons. I nee...

Sunday Morning Tuneage & Weekly TV (9/2/7)
