I suspect that Al is well aware of the story. He spent some years teaching at Texas A&M. Poor guy.
Makes little difference, but I headed up a radio/TV/satellite production unit. I did teach one semester which was a fun experience.
I planned to be there 5 years, but we had kids and I decided that the ticket to get out to a better position in higher ed was a PhD. It took another 8 years before we escaped to a great gig in Colorado, and that has been wonderful!
Met a lot of nice people there, saw many things around that pretty fascinating state and learned a lot (some of it the hard way), but my wife and I were both are extremely grateful for escaping from the cultural mindset in Texas.
All that said, I'm up for a trip to the Riverwalk in San Antonio any time.
And don't think for a moment that especially back in the day before the campus went co-ed, those A&M cadets didn't know where the goodies were in TX and how to access them.
