1. Baby, it’s cold outside. Or rather it will be. Well, it will be cold-ish anyway. And it’s about time. There’s something unsettling about wearing shorts while gorging on turkey and stuffing.
2. I’m guessing that working in the Dallas Sheriff’s Department doesn’t pay well. How else to explain the spate of deputies who have been disciplined for having inappropriate side jobs? Take the 15 deputies who moonlighted at fun-time establishments Club Onyx and The Gentleman’s Club. That did not go over well. And then there’s Deputy Myron Brown who worked for a debt-collection agency in his spare time. The problem? He didn’t receive permission to work there. He’s also been accused of using the perks of his real job to get inside a guy’s house and repossess some furniture.
3. The Winspear Opera House was the site of angry riots over the weekend. Okay, not really. But there were some guys carrying signs with ominous slogans such as “Tape is tacky” and “Full price tickets; half a show” The beef? Musicians are ticked that the Texas Ballet Theater’s performance of The Nutcracker doesn’t include an orchestra.
