Baseball, Bad Boys (Whatcha Gonna Do?) and Sunday Stealing

The Williamson County A&M Club organized Aggie Night at Dell Diamond on Friday night. We (class of '89) went with Scott, Julie and Bruce (class of '88). So fun! SO many Aggies. They played the War Hymn twice- a very unusual occurrence at events in the ATX. The Friday night game fireworks out there are pretty awesome. The Express won in a very exciting finish!

Last night, Jeff, JeffC and I saw Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which was really good and far better than I expected. When we emerged from the theater around 9:30, there were five police cars and an ambulance outside. Several officers were in the process of trying to get an unruly teenager, who they'd already tased and handcuffed, into a police car. Not sure what happened there, but it happened in or just outside the theater and we were glad we didn't see it. Yikes!
