While #HoustonIsAHockeyTown, whether it will be an @NHL hockey town - and soon - depends on what the league and a prospective owner conclude over the next six months about Houston --- and Austin. We'll talk about it on Monday's @HoustonMatters.
#HoustonIsAHockeyTown, a phrase used frequently by alumni during the WHA Houston Aeros 50th reunion in 2023!
For the last 3 years, we have enjoyed sharing the passion with Houston Aeros, Apollos, and other Houston hockey alumni and greats for the Houston Hockey Hall of Fame, Hockey Day In Houston, and the youth hockey tournament powered by @MyMainEvent at @SaintArnold while partnering with many great Houston organizations and media!

The Museum of Fine Arts Houston asked me to pick the next film in its long-running Movies Houstonians Love series. Turned out to be an easy decision:

Popping in to wish a very Merry Christmas to my friend @mattderrick who’s covering the #Chiefs #Steelers game right now. Thanks to anyone working today to make others’ holiday better.
Tapas, small plates, shareable treats – call them what you will, there are lots of examples of great cuisine in small portions at Houston area restaurants. We’ll find out about some of them on this month’s The Full Menu, on Wednesday's @HoustonMatters .
Well, sure, if you put it that way, it seems like a lot.
Because it is.
On the plus side, I learned a new word this week.
A shout-out to my friend @mattderrick from ChiefsDigest.com, who transitioned quickly from victory parade watching Wednesday to disseminating, sharing, and re-posting relevant info in the hours after the shooting.
Sorry you had to; glad you were able to.
I wonder if I helped will today's trending of comedian Phyllis Diller into being. I was just thinking of her straight-to-video turn as Miss Poopinplatz (ask your friends who know Yiddish) in the 1991 horror-ish film opposite Norman Fell.
Yes, really.
Here's a fascinating conversation my colleague Michael Hagerty did for today's @HoustonMatters about an art project to support Houstonians facing eviction.
