Jan 24, 2023 1:30 PM by Glenn Hunter

For the first time ever, the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas combined its Holiday Reception with the celebration of its annual Charles L.

2023 North Texas Temps Are Doing Push-Ups, Or Rather Punch-Ups, In The Days Ahead

Jan 13, 2023 3:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Okay, campers! Rise and shine for the 2023 winter workout for temperature push-ups. After the last two days of barely hitting 50ish degree temperatures, Monday’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day will be rising up to 78 degrees. Thank heaven, it’s a federal holiday so you won’t have to file your quarterly or pick up any unwanted mail until Tuesday! On the other hand, if your closet … [Read more...] about 2023 North Texas Temps Are Doing Push-Ups, Or Rather Punch-Ups, In The Days Ahead

2022 Thanksgiving Day Is A Time To Appreciate The Blessings Past And Present

Nov 23, 2022 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

On Thanksgiving eve before church services, feastings at tables and the Cowboys hold court at AT&T Stadium, it might be wise to close your eyes and take a very deep breath of silence. No one needs to know that you’re doing it... except for you. Just consider your losses and your blessings since the pandemic started nearly three years ago. Yes, there have been many … [Read more...] about 2022 Thanksgiving Day Is A Time To Appreciate The Blessings Past And Present

How To Look Like You’re An Old Pro When It Comes To Thanksgiving’s Cutting Edge Duties

Nov 23, 2022 3:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

One of the challenges of Thanksgiving besides a Cowboys' win is how to carve up the guest of honor — the turkey. While some battle with carving knife and fork in hand like a Tyrannosaurus Rex tearing apart a hapless Brontosaurus, others have fine-tuned the art so it's simple and no fingers are lost in the project. For those who dread the process or are new to the … [Read more...] about How To Look Like You’re An Old Pro When It Comes To Thanksgiving’s Cutting Edge Duties

Friday’s Dank Weather Is Just A Touch Of What Many Veterans Endured Serving This Country

Nov 10, 2022 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Friday's Veterans Day will also be a day when the pasta days of lazy, humid conditions change to windy and cold, introducing a week of winter chill. And while parades and events like Saturday's Folds of Honor at AT&T Stadium will take place honoring those who served in the military, the conditions only hint at what these vets in many cases endured. From the punishing … [Read more...] about Friday’s Dank Weather Is Just A Touch Of What Many Veterans Endured Serving This Country

Nov 9, 2022 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

According to Dallas CASA Supervisor Ron Craig, “My role at Dallas CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is to advocate for teenagers in the permanent managing conservatorship of the state. “Those are some fancy words, but what do they mean?

Monday Is Sort Of A Holiday

Oct 7, 2022 3:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Monday is one of those wonky holidays. Even the name is up for grabs. In 1937 President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed it to be Columbus Day and made it a “national holiday." That’s where the rub comes in. Yes, it is one of ten U.S.  federal holidays, but it’s not considered a major one. While federal offices, postal services and some banks will be closed, state offices will … [Read more...] about Monday Is Sort Of A Holiday
