Marty Blaise

I see that Delmar Fieldhouse Stadium is being torn down. Lots of memories of basketball there. Sorry to see it go, but guess it's time.

Susan is home from the but is still in a lot of pain. Very bad reaction from the last chemo. She has one more to go. This continues to be a real challenge for our family. We have to find a walker because she can't stand on one leg. As usual we need thoughts and prayers.

I am thankful for my wife Susan to be back home after surgery for ovarian cancer. The surgeon said she did not see any active cancer so that was good news. Three more chemo treatments and we'll see where we are at that point, but it looks promising.

Excited about the Waltrip Class of 78 Reunion tomorrow! Got a haircut and now I gotta color my hair or I will look like I am from the class of 58, grin.

Texas A&M defeated Arkansas 58-10 today and looked pretty good. I'm amazed at how many passes they throw nowadays. When I was at A&M the offensive plan was run, run, run, punt... run, run, run, punt.... run, run, run, punt. I definitely like the passing game MUCH better!

I need help with Twitter. If someone is good at this, please message me offline. Thanks.

Have any of you out there watched a show called How The States Got Their Shapes - I think it's pretty neat. I can't remember what channel, but the show tells stories about how the boundaries of the state came together and sometimes it is different than what you might think. Take a look and see if you like the show.

Happy Birthday to Susan Blaise today!

I have a question for those of you who use LinkedIn as sort of a job and office networking website. How long does it or should it usually take for someone to accept your offer for linking to them? My work colleagues usually accept right away, but I find that people who don't really know you don't accept very often. Seems to me you would want to be able to network beyond those you work with daily or so. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
