I mentioned taking-in Actor of Valor yesterday but forgot to add my observation of the couple right in front of me . It wasn’t that the guy was wearing a cowboy hat or using his cell during the movie and his spouse didn’t have a Marge Simpson copycat coif to block the view but she did put a burr in my saddle by her choice of the pseudo-nutrition snack she wished to devour while watching the show.
Like most modern venues, the Cinemark Theater – right down the road – offers a variety of goodies to satisfy any palate but the days of popcorn, Milk Duds and Ju Ju Beads are well behind us unfortunately. Now, a full menu of over-priced snacks are on tap but, I digress.
To make a short story longer, just as the main feature began, the Mrs. returned with a drink and order of fries. Please! I like fries as much as the next guy but for some reason the aroma of grease-soaked spuds at that particular moment didn’t sit well. It was all I could do to keep from losing my two-hard-boiled-egg breakfast right there. I know. Just move you say. But I had the perfect seat say I. It was dead smack in the middle and the movie had begun. Why should I be the one to uproot and seek a more pleasing odoriferous pasture? I refused. So sit there I did, hoping for a change in the flight pattern of the offending molecules or the need to quell a voracious appetite of the Mrs. by gobbling up every last morsel without taking time to chew. Whichever it was, my wishes were fulfilled in short order and I was able to enjoy the flick without further bother.
Please excuse the triviality of this post. I had the urge to communicate my annoyance. Have a great day.
Then there was this:
Olympics-Mexican golfer Ochoa keen for part at 2016 Rio Games
FAU coach Joan Joyce headed into another Hall of Fame
I remember her well. The player/caddie softball games were quite a treat when she was on the mound.
Joan also had a predilection of being a tad errant off the tee and I recall Rick, her caddie at the time, charting yardages to the green from places far and wide. He new her tendencies and was prepared for any situation. Sometimes you have to put in the extra mile.

His family lived in Fort Worth until he was nine years old and then they moved to Midland, which was his home for the rest of his life. He attended Midland public schools and graduated from Midland High School. He went on to attend Texas Tech University on an athletic scholarship. At Tech, Yippy played football, baseball, and was also a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He graduated in 1964. Yippy returned to Midland and coached high school football, until moving on to the Aetna Life Insurance Company. He eventually became involved in the oil and gas industry. He married Judy in 1967 and became a devoted fan of women’s golf and her most loyal supporter. They shared in her career and were fortunate to make many friends and travel the world. They were fortunate to also experience some great moments in sports. One of the great joys in his life was his son, Tuey. Supporting his athletic and life endeavors was of the utmost importance to him. As a young man, he coached numerous youth sports teams and has continued to support young people in athletics in other ways. He passionately loved his family, friends, and all of the dogs that warmed and shared his life. Red Raider nation has lost one of its most loyal supporters. He loved watching his beloved Red Raiders and was an avid college football fan. Yippy loved quail hunting and some of the best times of his life were playing marginal golf with dear friends.

He is survived by his wife, Judy; his son, Tuey Rankin; daughter-in-law, Jennifer; grandchildren, Kendall Anne and Tripp; brother, David Rankin; sister, Dianne Rankin; as well as the extended family of both his and Judy’s.
